Match Thread Everton v Newcastle United, KO 20:00 Mon 23rd April

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

So we play like a sunday league side and are 8th in the self confessed best league in the world...it aint just us in trouble eh.

I think it's a terrible reflection on the twelve teams below us that we can absolutely pitiful and be eighth with only a handful of games left.
How the hell are we so high up the table?

Only one shot on target

Why did he take Bolasie off? The guy finally gets to play on the right, delivers the killer cross and then gets the hook.

We're very lucky.

 

[EFCPaul]

Their support are all fat.

 

[Berenger]

We're that high up because it reflects the wage bills in the league. Someone has to fill each space behind 6th.

 

[GerryLives]

F'n hate Newcastle. They are crap. And 6 pts this season against them the absolute sweaty pale belters.

Let them stay up. Even Barkley can score a worldy against them.

 

[Wayno]

Whatever stream I’m watching, they’re just pumping our fans for slamming Sam but also Martinez and Koeman lol

Honestly they’re not wrong tbh.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That was a dire game of football. Luckily that Newcastle team were just slightly worse.

Quite an indictment on the league that that was two top half teams.

He should have played safe and passed the ball back to Pickford, bit reckless playing the ball into the opposition box....Sam will sit him down for a chat tomorrow and hopefully he wont be so naive next time he plays (clearly he'll still be dropped next week and made an example of)....

Have to be to keep warm when they strip off!

The same reason we were never in a relegation battle and never should have hired Allardyce - the league is so bad that a club like ours would have to go out and actually try to get relegated.

Walcott post match interview on sky.

He was asked "how do you compare Allardyce with Wenger" ?

Answer, "Wenger is on a different level"

 

[NorthernBlue]

Osman chats utter garbage on that BBC live feed. Comes across like a right idiot.

They could not find oxygen tanks for him!
