Newcastle vs Everton - Match Report and MotM Poll

[AndyC]

I get the impression from the media reports that Newcastle were unlucky, and should have won the game, can anyone tell me if this rings true.

They hit the woodwork before we scored and again after we scored.
They were the better side till we scored, we were better after that.
That's how I saw it/heard it/had it told to me by two guys at the game, one a Blue, t'other a Geordie.

I thought a team with slightly better forwards would have scored at least one against us, based on quality of chances.
Lucky it was Newcastle on the night in that respect.

Think people are forgetting that we were probably a bit leggy after Sunday's game against Liverpool and that Newcastle had an extra day rest .

 

[Cels]

Ashley Williams for me, although I did think that Holgate had a great game.

I wouldn't say they were unlucky, they had a couple of decent attacks but couldn't put the ball in the net and apart from the two that hit the woodwork didn't look like they would have scored if they played all night, we went for every ball, fought for everything and got a goal from the man in the right place at the right time. I suppose you'd call it a game between a team that tried to play the beautiful game, and a team that wanted to win...bring on the swans.

Having said that Williams and Holgate were impressive JJK was secure ( although Ritchie ran by him for the shot that hit the post) and Morgan and the rest were decent
I was very impressed with Vlasic when he came in
Put the work in , keeps the ball well and plenty of forward movement.
After last night and Cyprus I’d like to see him start ahead of Lennon on Mon night.
Him and JJK come become effective down the right , but if he stays a few years he our long term NO10

Little Azza Lennon MOTM for winning his first header in the penalty area in his life.

It does seem odd that our tall centre forward crossed the ball to who I assume was the smallest player on the pitch that led to the winning goal.

Bizarro World.

Actually I thought that Martina had his best game for us, apart from one mistake near the start. He always seems to want to shift to his right foot even though he put in a couple of decent crosses with his left, might be a confidence thing. Anyway he is improving.

Bizarro World.

Thinking about it, he did the same for Rooney against Stoke on the first day of the season... Although that was when he was a right wing back!
