Match Thread Everton v Newcastle - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[UltraVires]

Way before today, schooled by Leicester in midweek and home losses to Leeds, West Ham and 2 defeats to Newcastle. Rotherham & Sheff Wed outplayed us for large periods. We are so far away....

Thats it mate. We have seen it before but because things have gone our way this season it has meant that we haven’t had a sustained period where reality has set in.

We need to focus on finding out who Carlo wants to keep for next year and beyond now for me so that means dropping Seamus for starters

 

[Jim Hopper]

Carlo said after the Leicester game that he learned that we could compete with every team in this league.... then up comes Newcastle who were pretty well set up from the off and schooled us. If that’s being competitive then I must have the wrong interpretation of that.

 

[Cardis]

We have been saying siggy should not wear the shirt again for the last 18 months. Three managers keep picking him. Brands should have got rid and replaced.

 

[ForeverEverton]

On the verge of top 4 and it’s like we have a team of players who don’t even care.

They couldnt care less........

 

[Terrarian]

Giving the ball away constantly and massively outworked by one of the worst teams in the league, they showed more heart and desire and had more quality going forward, penetrating us time and again while we barely mustered a shot. Pathetic.

 

[UltraVires]

Behave lad.

Great post.

To suggest Bolasie you would need to be Fan since 1755 last night.....

I was using him as an example, because today and recently ours aren’t any better. I’m not saying he’s the answer, the answer is getting rid on Sigs to start with.

Read properly If you didn’t understand I said you were talking stupid. Why are you using you poor deceased Nan in an Everton forum anyway.

She was actually fairly wealthy mate - left Stav a nice inheritance so not sure what your point is?

Yeah have more respect for your nan she wouldn’t play Everton any way she’d choose to play for winners.

I didn't watch the game, but I'm guessing we were awful and the usual suspects offered little to nothing?

They out fought us, out ran us and wanted it more mate, as a whole we were woeful.

This squad rebuild is painful. This summers transfer window needs to be like no other.

I think Pickford should have saved both goals to be honest. If you watch his feet on the first, he takes a massive leap to his left and because he is small, he cannot get back across.

As for the second, he is actually outside the near post so it makes it easy for Wilson to just slot it in the far post.

I swear he moves the wrong way sometimes just to make a save look more spectacular than it needs to be and because of that he puts himself with too much to do.

As for Seamus, he needs to be dropped for good. Godfrey or Holgate can do a better all around job and need to be played until we can get a young full back in during the summer

Tell me why. Not for the first time this season he found himself as the only player trying to add energy to our attacking intentions. No, he's not the player he was but I can't recall one game where his performance has cost us points.

I really hate watching Ancelotti teams, boring football, slow build ups, no pace, poor passing.

Would you rather have fan-tath-tic, phenomen-aaaal football where Lukaku scores a hat-trick and still ends up losing? hmmm?

 

[MrGrumpy]

The referee was horrid. iceman got studded twice and they got the free kick. james got bullied but advantages were forgotted again. just like mick dean in the last game.

yes we played terrible. giving the ball away and hiding. But the officials bias is a thing.

Still. We have Carlo and are premature in his transformation. So lets put it behind us and look to the future.

Wilson should have been sent off for an Elbow, yet for some reason wasn’t even looked at, he clearly see he coming and throws an elbow
