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

[TheSecondComing]

Richarlison is our Mane.

He’s relentless in his pressing, he’s unreal.

All those idiots who said we didn’t need another winger looking stupid now.

“BUT WHEN WILL THEY PLAY”

 

[Death]

Only good thing about that defeat is if we but it right and go on another good run we will have abolished the talk that we are just riding a wave.

 

[MarkHollis]

No excuses here, Newcastle are proper crap

 

[Shibbywiggles]

If Kenny is fit then that has to be the team. We're in a mess if he's not back, which says A LOT about the lack of depth in the squad.

To be fair, Coleman with Kenny as back up and Holgate as third choice if need be isn’t bad. All three injured at once is very bad luck!
More worried about our lack of attackers!

 

[Dymak]

What is Kenny's fitness status?

 

[UptheTofees]

Hope to see Gordon play

And hope Kenny is back. Godfrey is not a RB and it's asking a lot to play him there.

A win here is a MUST. A MUST to prevent a build up of bad momentum

 

[North wales blue]

Iwobi is crap I haven’t played for 25 years and I would put in a better Shift than him for FREE
newcastle are a poor team so 3 points here leave Iwobi & gylfi in base camp with the U23s

 

[BillBrasky]

If Digne is suspended and Coleman and Kenny are still out, I think it makes sense to go to a 3/5 back system. We have no natural left or right backs, so we need 3 CB.

Gordon-DCL-James
Nkounkou-Doucoure-Alan-Davies
Keane-Mina-Godfrey
GK

You can also play Delph at LM/LWB if you don't trust Nkounkou yet.

 

[collymcd]

Pickford
Kenny Keane Mina Niels
Doucs Allan Gomes
Bernard DCL Gordon

If Allan is still not fully fit I'd swap him for Delph. No point playing people if they're struggling for fitness. We've played a few carrying knocks and it hasn't worked at all. Get them fully fit as soon as possible and play the long game.

Gonna be another tough one this, with players missing. Need to be a lot more compact and try grind a win, rather than go gung ho at them.

It's going to have to be a team like that, which is crap, but we'll have 9 players out, any team would be crap with 9 out.

 

[PSB1]

Don't underestimate Newcastle.

 

[blue to the bone]

We need to start keeping clean sheets.
It won't be easy with injuries and suspensions but it has to be the target.
Do that and we will win the game

This for me.

Unless we start doing this I can't see our form improving too much from hereon in.

 

[HibbertsRightFoot]

For me the loss yesterday wasn't as important as some are making out, obviously losing was the last thing we wanted but its how this team responds to the loss is what will give us a true measure of how much the team has progressed

 

[HibbertsRightFoot]

I think the appeal will go through and Digne back.

Not happy with Mina for the past 3 games so I'd like Godfrey to start CB however Carlo sees him as first choice so that fine with plus no Kenny or Coleman so right back needs filling but I'd go Davies on the right before Godfrey.

Davies will provide more of a constant width than Godfrey plus he is a better passer. I know it's unusual but I have felt this position could be excellent for Davies and I'd like to see it given a try.

Iwobi and Sigurdsson just NO. Sigurdsson was CAPTAIN yesterday as well which was worse. They have been handed lifeline after lifeline and they can't do the simple right.

Pickford to start tho he was shocking on both goals yesterday and he tends to brainfart again the Toon but no fans he should keep his head.

Pickford
Davies - Mina - Keane - Digne
Doucoure - Allen - Gomes
James - DCL - Gordon

Seriously when is holgate coming back so when can get this donkey out of the team
