Match Thread Everton v Newcastle United - Postponed

[blue to the bone]

I think we have been hit a lot harder with injuries. Plus , I think even if they do buy in Jan , it won't automatically turn them into a better team, surely it would take a little time for players to bed in?

We will have a big back log of games. Already 2 to fit in. Hope this one goes ahead

yeah, more meant i think us playing them now would be better then them looking in a better shape in a few weeks etc, as said in here, i think we may have about 5 back plus Lewin/Digne, but because we have never been told who they are we didnt actually know who the 5 were, and whoever the players from last week were either that ended up getting the game off v Burnley

Fair point . Though , I think Digne has played his last game for us

That would not surprise me, but he may be needed and may have no choice but to make numbers up if needed for the bench etc, if either of them like it or not

Callum Wilson + Saint Maximin both out injured and only 14 players fit.

Hopefully we have players fit now and can play the game.

Why would we want it off?

I’m in work

With those two very public injuries for the barcodes, on top of covid, throw in Fast-Eddie's post match comments and I can only see this being postponed.

 

[bluejohn66]

I'd of preferred the barcode game to go ahead, however and on the plus side, we've enjoyed a non fume Christmas and looking like a non fume New Year !!

 

[Jeff Jones]

They'll get Thursday called off.

I don't see how. We have Delph and Gray listed as out ill and I assume that's Covid, plus Mina, Richo, Townsend, and Rondon injured, and Davies doubtful.

Before last nights game Newcastle had no players listed as out with Covid and three players out injured.

They've lost one through five yellows and possibly up to three more injured, Wilson, St Maximin, and Schar.

None of the injuries and our two Covids will be enough for a postponement, and unless there are more Covids we don't know about the match will go on.

 

[Gaffa]

I just think we will be in a better position with players back from injury

Thursday is the best time to play them, half their players can’t play including their two best players and they’ve only just had a tough game. Your post about wanting it off is bizarre

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

I very much doubt we will be allowed another postponement.
We need to be playing games anyway, games in hand have a notorious tendency to be detrimental , whether to clubs chasing the title or those fighting relegation. Packing so many games in towards the end of a tiring season is inviting disaster.
Anyway , let’s batter these repugnant barcodes and help consign them to the ignominy of relegation,
3-1 to us.

But we aren't fully fit , so why is it bizarre? Its ok to play them while they are weak , but ok to play with our weak side ? And you say my post is bizarre? Ok chief

 

[mawders]

I think this will be off. Newcastle will probably be unable to field a team

 

[kiss the crest]

Lets sell them Holgate Iwobi and Rondon so they have enough players ?

Everyone's a winner

…..it’s a game we can’t afford to lose & we have a great opportunity on Thursday with them missing key attacking players.
