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

[Sean Ashley]

Nasty game and that Pawson is a bell.

 

[Frenk]

Doucoure can’t pass to save his life.

 

[Efcjake]

It's been fairly solid besides that Tarkowski moment.

The front four need to do much better with the ball when they get it or we're holding on for a 0-0.

 

[Mase]

Before the peno, we were doing alright. But their extra man in cm is a struggle.

 

[GambianToffee]

Was it a shot on goal and off the ball wrestling?

Yes.

 

[D410]

Key is midfield - we are not at the races.

 

[Benno]

Too deep which is the result of having very little pace at the back. It’s why Branthwaite is so important. Huge gaps between the lines - don’t know how we can get higher up with the personnel.

 

[Steve EFC]

After that shocking half by Everton you criticize their badge. Brilliant

Not surprised by the performance all things considered.

 

[Chegsy]

Midfield is eaten alive. They cant compete with a physical far better team. McNeill is nowhere and Doucoure doesnt have the technical ability. Bring Gueye and take of Doucoure!

We always make Joelinton look like the second coming of Ruud Gullit

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Burn is some unit.

I think it’s a bit weird that Young is marking Burn on corners and set pieces, he seems physically overmatched

 

[TrailerTrash]

Did you update your policy?

I shouted at the Tele.

Not sure if that's the same thing?

 

[Obes]

Tarky and Keane have seemingly switched bodies or something. Tarky almost single-handedly trying to lose the game for us. Woeful.

Midfield is a real problem. Doucoure needs hooking. Maybe both of them. Once Newcastle beat the ‘press’ of our front four it’s easy to play around/through Doucoure and Mangala.

Garner has done OK but is almost getting caught between sticking tight with Barnes and trying to come inside to deal with Joelinton. Basically they’re getting too much space in our final third and Dyche needs to change it before they inevitably score.

 

[Gerbs]

Was calling people thick your mature response?

Thick was the polite way of telling you what I think about you calling that penalty some Everton discrimination

 

[gianthogweed]

Why is Young marking Dan at corners

 

[Andy McGurk]

Why was every single Everton player pulling a shirt? Ashley Young taking training this week?
