Match Thread Everton v Newcastle United - Postponed

[COYBL25]

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

Yet, we’ll still sit in our own half and just lob the ball aimlessly up front all game.

Its the Benitez way and folks are happy with that. I would rather have Allardyce and I hated him !!

Behave. With Allardyce we went 3 odd games without a shot on target.

 

[PhilM]

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

Unless COVID seriously impacts their squad, they should be able to field a team, albeit weakened.

Yet Allardyce didn’t have us 6th from bottom of the table and managed to finish 8th. No chance of that with this chump.

 

[Gaffa]

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

It’s 2 weeks since Chelsea; we will have more than enough players available and back. It’s only 7 days isolation.

Why will they be unable to field a team? They have six injured players and no Covid issues that we know of.

Don’t particularly want to get in a conversation of who is the worst manager but under Allardyce we also spent on Tosun and Walcott. Benetiz has had no cash and we have been missing our best forward all season.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

What am I doing in here actually! Abort! Abort!

 

[UltraVires]

We should be pushing hard for this to be on. Not only do we need a game for match fitness and sharpness but they clearly have injuries which don’t count to the covid considerations in terms of postponement requests

 

[degsy]

We must win this game. We have had two weeks to prepare, two weeks rest and two weeks for the players to learn the system. Newcastle look like relegation candidates, they will be looking at teams who they can finish above so I expect them to come to Goodison full of gusto and they will be difficult to beat. We need a team willing to go toe to toe with them and showing some bravery going forward. Hopefully DCL is back and fully fit.

We have a system? I am aware of the concept, but please elaborate on the details of this erm, system

 

[degsy]

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?

You're new here then?
We're the ultimate free gift for debutantes and those who haven't scored for 18mths mate, didnt you know

I am hoping to see this:

Pickford
Coleman Keane Godfrey Digne
Doucoure Allan Gomes
Gray DCL Gordon​

 

[Chewbacca]

Lots of COVID in the Skunks camp this morning I expect

 

[Dykovski200]

I am hoping to see this:

Pickford
Coleman Keane Godfrey Digne
Doucoure Allan Gomes
Gray DCL Gordon​

I’d swap Keane for Branthwaite
