Match Thread Newcastle United v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[ToffeeTim]

Anyone blaming the manager is an idiot

These players are a disgrace. They don't care. They are overpaid. They don't try their best

 

[Fansince1988]

Cenk has done nothing at all.

He has only just come back from injury.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Best thing to happen to our club would be a full lockdown.... 1 step forward, 10 backwards.

 

[bicycleheader]

Not overly concerned about that.

a good reality check

some players in the squad that started the season as “maybes” or not priority to change will be moving themselves towards the exit

in the meantime we will be up and down, more down than up when 4 of our main players are out.

Should have been on from half time, the dope Gomes cost us this one, absolute liability he is.

I don't blame him too much for the penalty. The player came from his blind side. Very difficult situation to defend.

Generally him and Siggy were poor, but at least Gomes was trying to knit play and turn. I'm astounded Siggy is still getting so many minutes. Surely Bernard and Gordon have done enough to earn a spot ahead of him?

 

[Jim Hopper]

Chill out pals... Rome / Day and all that...

Reckon Rome could be built in the time it takes Sigurdsson & Gomes to run one length of a football field combined.

 

[lungo]

pathetic.

Yep. Nothing new. A braindead pen from Gomes, Mina a turn like my grand-father, Keane surely the worst central defender in the world (LOL) and no player able to sprint faster then 15 seconds on 100m.

Give over mate, it was definitely a pen.

This one is on Ancelotti for dreadful tactics and subs.

I mean, i do have questions over the selections. However i dont think any of the alterantives would have done anything better. Gordon has done very little in top level games so far (although yes he does look a class above when playing lower opposition). Bernard and Iwobi generally do nothing either.

Comes down to having FOUR players out who would all start. Our ENTIRE attacking plan has gone out the window with a world class attacker out for the game, a world class left back suspended. A quality attacking wide forward stupidly being suspended and a solid RB who supports James injured as well.

It shows that this team isn’t up to anything. Pressure on? Everton return to normal service. It’s like Groundhog Day. The same crap every season.

We’re still 2nd, at worst we’ll be 3rd/4th by tomorrow night, after 7 games we’d have taken that any day of the week

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Even with the players out, we should be beating newcastle. The players missing have carried us. We need to clear out some crap in Jan.

Should we yeah?

An Everton team, missing 5 key players in Richarlison, Rodriguez, Digne, Coleman and Holgate should be going away to Newcastle and beating them.

An Everton team, with Niels making his debut, Kenny thrown in without match fitness - Delph, Gomes, Sigurdsson and co should be going away and beating Newcastle.

An Everton team, when chasing a game, who have to turn to Iwobi, Bernard and Tosun, should be beating Newcastle.

Interesting.

We've come a long way if that's the case.

Ancelotti took a pragmatic view - most were doom and gloom beforehand and rightly so.

We had more of the ball, we had more shots and if soft arse Gomes didn't put in one of his spaced off his tits games and do his off the ball liability act we'd have been right in that and took a point or maybe even nicked it late on.

 

[street end]

2nd in league, a load of players out, 2 tricky away games, Southampton are also in form, let’s just move on, get the players back and go again.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Ive told Carlo what I though of that on Twitter improve or do one... Perhaps he is here for a last payday!!! Last 2 performances are atrocious.... Utd next, dread to think what the score will be against them with the pace they have in that side....

Years and years of buying garbage players that

Ancelotti has to take some blame for that horror show today.

 

[bluejohn66]

6 minutes injury time, we score and they have one booked for time wasting, yet he gives 20 seconds extra ????

 

[GrandOldTeam]

If we lose against United there’s every chance we could find ourselves in 10th.

Good heavens.
