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

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Clean sheet and a point at least

Could have been worse considering the line up

Newcastle are a bit of a stylistic nightmare for us

 

[Librarian]

That’s a cup game no? Which was a draw. Saints haven’t won a single league game, neither have Wolves conceding a combined 36 goals

They won
And they deserved to win

Shocking penalty decision aside, we did well to come away with a point. A few good individual performances, a lot of very average ones.

Thought the defense did well.
Garner was really good at RB and could be a solution for that position. Switched off a couple of times but over all very good.
Pickford did great, fair play to him. We're lucky to have him.
I thought the midfield were dire tho.
Still look like they've never met before. The amount of times a player had the ball and absolutely no one showing for it was unreal.
Newcastle knew how to harry and upset our midfield and we had no answer to it.
So many times the wingers got isolated with no overlap and no one showing for a pass.
They had the Measure of Ndiaye and McNeill at 10. Dyche left it too late to shuffle them about.
DCL tried hard in what is a thankless task with such a defensive lackluster midfield behind him.
Good point and great to see Gordon getting shown up.

Garner MOTM for me, did well in a position that's he's not that used to.

Some strange, almost selfish, moments in the match though. Tarkowski giving away the penalty for no reason (apart from him being annoyed). NcNeil getting booked (because he was annoyed). Garner taking a 30+-yard shot with maybe a 1 in 200 chance of scoring from the free kick rather than trying to get it wide and then get it in the box.

…I never thought we could keep a clean sheet, but it was a terrific effort to keep them at bay.

You can’t tell me that if Salah had been brought down in that situation then it wouldn’t have been given and Carragher would’ve had a different opinion. This referee is as close to being a Clattenburg as I’ve seen. Saying all of that, I don’t know how Gueye missed the rebound.

Keane and Young played their part but I was chuffed with Garner. He struggled early to live with Barnes but stuck to his task so well that Barnes got hooked. He was composed in possession, a really professional performance and my MoM.

 

[Tipp blue]

He loves a shot, but I think I have only seen him score 1 goal, the vast majority of his shots go high and wide

It was harder to do what he did.. I'd back myself to score that 99 times out of a hundred.. and I'm old, unfit and haven't played football for about 10 years.

 

[Daytripper]

Fully agree with the Garner shouts , did well considering the circumstances

 

[blue in oxford]

Good point but disappointing performance bit more ambition mite have got a better result
Long drive back now week of nxt week

 

[blueloon]

At half time I thought “ If you put the two teams together and picked one 11 then 9 would be from Newcastle and only Pickford for Pope and Ndiaye for Murphy. Thats what we’re up against , a lack of class throughout the team with brief sparks of life from McNeil , DCL if we’re lucky . A poor performance, it’s horrible when you feel half satisfied with a 0-0 draw at home.

 

[Eidean]

Decent point overall, makeshift back four decent for most part.

Going forward though, my lord were absolutely awful. The manager HAS to start trying to be abit braver winning football matches.

The predictable bringing off wide players, putting Doucoure in the 10 & then shifting McNeil outwide is negative as hell.

No idea if most are even first teamers, other than Isak obviously.

Literally just isak and botman. That wasn't far off the first 11

 

[Bedfordblue]

Ndiaye MoM for me. Busy all over the place again, only real threat or showing intent to take the game to them, and goal line clearance of his own.
Great save by Pickford from the pen but in the words of Roy Keane, thats his job besides it was a pretty poor pen.

 

[navidson]

We're not very good are we?

 

[DualityNSNO]

Literally just isak and botman. That wasn't far off the first 11

I mean Isak is just a very good forward though, and most likely slots Gordon's few chances which we gave away easily.
