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

[TommyDavo]

Just watched the match on delay. Dog's dinner. You knew it was heading for a loss when Gomes was put and Iwobi was taken off. WTF was that decision all about??

Iwobi was [Poor language removed]. Does that answer it?

Newcastle have won 6 games all season but have done the double over us. I fully expect Leeds to do the same next week

A lot of people now expecting that...so it probably won't happen. Everton's propensity to bollocks things up (aka, the 'Everton that' phenomenon) depends on them being blisteringly undependable. It's a very ironic thing.

Sure up the midfield as Iwobi was doing next to nothing

You bring on Davies to do that. We were actually worse after that sub because James moved wider and didn't cover Coleman and Gomes offers nothing off the ball.

It was a bad sub. Davies or Godfrey were the better options.

With players as bad as this we need a manager who can motivate to try their best and weed out the gutless ones. Do we have one?

Yes. It’s what got us a good many good results this season

Someone said earlier we had only one player missing from that being our best team (not sure about that tbh), but how bad must the rest of the squad be if that’s the best we can serve up? Deadwood everywhere.

I disagree. I think they are entirely dependable and predictable. Leeds to win

Yeah, but Gomes wasn't exactly a game-changer and it seemed like more of a defensive move at 0-0. I'm aware that Iwobi was a non-entity but he helped to spread out the horse-puncher defense. We got fewer chances on the other side with Digne once Gomes was in and we decided to play more directly.

His interview was embarrassing. Had he have run the gauntlet of an angry crowd instead of getting away with it like this, he might have skipped the interview.

Someone ought to put a match to it... and quick before it rots the whole joint!

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

yeah plus he chinned mina no foul. mina brushes his face when jumping for a header. foul.

You’re a lucky man.

Only Everton lose to a team with a player who has down syndrome... Almirón

You complete and utter moronic, pathetic waste of space making a comment like that

 

[james2805]

Is it me or do we always seem worse when we have had a rest. Terrible against Leicester and Newcastle after long spell off due to postponements.

Wasn't there another game we was awful in when we had an unexpected extra few days rest. West Ham maybe?

Seem to play better when momentum and games come thick and fast.

Today was embarrassing. Didnt threaten a terrible Newcastle side, at all.

Fair play to Newcastle, they deserved that. Played us perfectly.
