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

[john jako]

Need to let players fight like in Hockey.

Would be a huge downturn in players thinking they are Rocky.

Coleman’s the worst. Thinks he’s Barry mcguigan

 

[TheBigIguana]

Don’t think Iwobi, Gana and onana is any forms of good. Looks awful.

Without the ball they're being let down by the system. Iwobi is clearly supposed to go but no one fills behind him so you're ending up with 3v2 every time and not enough pressure close to the ball to actually effect it.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Toothless up front

That and the fact our full backs and wingers are League One standard, plus our one striker is playing his first real game back from injury. Absolutely disastrous.

 

[Wat Tyler]

One shot was it? That DCL header.

So we created nothing, absolutely zilch in 45 minutes from open play.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

We save this each half time almost every week. And guess what we come out and are worse.

I know mate, but I am making myself sick with how much I hate both of these teams.

 

[Joey66]

How was Joelinton not sent then? Mental.

We’ve been poor, got to hope Frank changes things quickly.

What made it worse on that 2nd yellow he just laughed.,...

whole is definitely less than the sum of the parts, sounded good on paper but hasn't worked yet

Wonder how Garner would influence the proceedings, but unsure where to put him

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Our game plan is just painfully one dimensional and relys us defending for 95% of the game then ekeing out 1 or 2 chances to get a goal no ambition whatsoever in this team

No ability whatsoever in this team. It’s devoid of attacking quality and talent. This shows in the lack of accuracy in the final third, poor decisions making, turning the ball over. Gray is terrible, Gordon is a work in progress, they aren’t close to being good enough and plenty said it at the start of the season. We’re seeing why.

 

[eurosrees]

That Penalty shout would have been a free kick if it was out of the box 100% of the time

 

[only_sleeping]

We just need better wingers mate

Step up…McNeil. :-|

 

[Dougie]

Five consecutive absolutely pathetic halves is football in a row. Lampard has to be doing better. Much better.

I'm sorry but this Newcastle side man for man isn't that much better than ours. Is he instructing our players not to shoot at goal or something? Outclassed all over the park once again.

Relegation fight is well and truly on. Again, if you cannot score goals then you're likely getting relegated. We are not even making goalkeepers work at all. In the past three games the opposition might as well have played with an empty net. The results wouldn't have changed. Scandalous.

Frank has to show what he's made of at half time now. If he cannot change this then I've lost a lot of trust in him to turn it around.

We've our strongest XI out there.

Patterson replaces Coleman and honestly I believe James garner should be in that middle 3. But yeah other than that it’s are best 11. We needed a direct replacement for Richie on the left and things wouldn’t be so bad.

 

[glory_daze]

Bought 8 players and look as crap as last season

Whose fault is that?

There doesn't seem to be any pattern or cohesion about our play,10 months into Lampards reign, he can't keep saying "it is what it is" and accepting not progressing.

 

[DuuuncanHadaPigeon]

We’re poor but no team in the league gets shafted by the referees as much as us. The decisions since Lampard have been in post have been criminal.

This

 

[lungo]

Was that plan to win 1 in 14? Stole a living did that scumbag

Lampard is on a great run here. He will outbenitez Benitez. At least Benitez had the excuse of no money.

 

[Billefc]

It is not a penalty

Salah gets a penalty for that!
