Match Thread Newcastle v Everton - Wed 13th December

[CRIMHEAD]

Morgan in that number 6 role is just terrible. Get Gana back there, get Davies or someone else on the right in front of him. If you don't trust Davies, play Klaassen for crying out loud. His first touch would be wonderful out there supporting JonJoe and Lennon. Actually, I'd probably swing Gana back over to the other side to deal with Yedlin as Sigurdsson and Martina are too slow.

Honestly, we have no other choice than to play Martina out left, which is just killing us. Williams looks a step slow tonight again - although Newcastle hasn't been able to take advance - and Holgate, while is playing well attacking the ball aggressively, is still pretty lost positionally.

Think we'll be lucky to get a point, but maybe Sam will make some adjustments and we get another goal. But no chance we get a clean sheet tonight playing like we are.

 

[ProZ]

We have had some good moments with the ball no doubt about it, we are trying to expand our play while keeping defensive shape, it’s always going to be hard finding the right balance but we are going in the right direction.

 

[Bluerover]

You make your luck too though..
Against Southampton luck was nothing to do with it. We are set up better now.

.....the same Southampton that are 0-3 down at HT at home to Leicester.

Time for people to have some realism

holgate rash stupid decision

 

[ProZ]

Their two chances have came from a Williams mistake and a 35 yard punt.

That is not bad considering we are away.

calm down holgate

holgate rash stupid decision

Got the ball.

 

[Verbal Kint]

These are ripe for the counter... as an attacking unit the balance just isn't right. To the above poster I think Ashley Williams has been rock solid tonight. JJ exceptional defensively too. Martina a disaster doesn't look like a footballer. Gana and Morgan just isn't working at the moment.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Got the ball.

& if that’s a yellow, we are headed for a non-contact sport!

 

[Zezti]

This is ours to throw away. We can do these.

 

[Walken]

great defending from holgate

 

[matty1878]

Can’t just sit on this.
