Match Thread Everton 0-0 Newcastle - Saturday 5th October - 17:30

[OneTrueLegend]

We weren’t good enough to win the game, didn’t create enough. I think if Newcastle had a striker they would have beaten us comfortably.

It’s so frustrating watching us have no plan when we get the ball, our players just run down blind alleys or struggle to make a 5 yard pass.

On the plus side we got a point

Not great football but a clean sheet against a top 6 side is something to build on. Shoring up the defence with/without key players had to be a priority after the start we had and after showing we can grab a few goals this season it should give a little more confidence going into the next run of games

 

[joebocop]

Only he did play Gordon in, 5 minutes from time and normally thats a goal!

Yeah Pickford bailed him out. He probably would have capitulated if that did result in a goal.

 

[Tipp blue]

I'll give every player a 6 and Tark a 5. Pickford an 8 for saving the point.

Tark.. what a muppet with that penalty, he needs to buy pickford a few beers tonight.

 

[Victus]

Jimmy did fantastic btw, tough night for him that against the pace of barnes and the strength of Joelinton. easy MOTM

 

[johnjoeefc]

If you’d asked me before the game yes I’d have taken it.

But Newcastle was there to be had today. With a bit more composure and some better lineup choices we could have had three points.

While that's true, Newcastle had a lot more opportunities that they failed to capitalise on than we did. So from that perspective you have to be happy with the point

How can that possibly be true when we have won 1 game out of the last 7 and 4 of them were at home.

We beat Palace, we've lost two at home to Bournemouth and Brighton so far this season, and we won the last 5 games of the season last season.

 

[Bebeto]

Decent point. Newcastle are pretty good.

Especially when they're playing against us...howe really don't like us even if he supposedly an evertonian...hopefully they play with the same intensity away at leceister, Southampton or Ipswich

 

[Obes]

Crap performance but the result is fine.

The back five, Tarky aside, did a good job and got us a point. Midfield was varying levels of crap. Ndiaye and Dom were bright and tried to make things happen but received no support from anyone else in the final third.

Referee an absolute whopper as usual.

It’s a good point everything considered but there needs to be a major improvement, especially in the middle of the park. Dyche has got to see that partnership is never the answer. Figure it out. No excuses when Gana and Tim are available.

Clean sheet and had our opertunities to win, Gana needs a kicking for blasting that shot over.

 

[stretford blue]

Thought the Pickford and the back 4 were fine midfield some horrendous performances Harrison doucoure and McNeil shockingly bad
Take the point obviously but a poor overall performance

 

[Daytripper]

It’s a point and well done Jordan on the pen save. It’s cack tho isn’t it when you look at it overall. Terrible game to be honest.

 

[Dixieslegs]

Good point. But ndaye is a headless chicken. Thought dcl worked hard today, little service. Not sure wots going on with tarky tho.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

i would of mate but a point at home sitting of offering zero is
a disgrace

We were awful and they are a good side. Zero credit accruing to the manager for this point but he will still claim same.
