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

[Runub]

Teams must love playing against Everton

 

[LucBesson]

Got a bad feeling about how that VAR goal is going to look at the end of the season. Felt like a massive moment. Could have been a turning point.

 

[Bebeto]

Gray is needed in the second half for more creativity. Doucoure is running a lot but that's it. His passing is very limited and has zero creativity.

 

[bluelife]

Referee has played beautifully into Newcastles games plan. Letting them get away with murder to dampen the atmosphere, allowing the predicable sucker punch

 

[Walken]

I think it's clear he just really really hates what the club has become since he left.

same owners that pay him a wedge

 

[faddy the blue]

Can't see us scoring with a side that has Godfrey and Mykolenko as FBs and 3 DMs in the middle of the park.

 

[Fansince1988]

Clear offside. Nicely played though.

I agree it was off, but it does prove we can make things happen up top.

 

[DualityNSNO]

I understand the need to get crosses in, but they need to be told to kick it properly/harder*

*clearly i’ve got my coaching badges.

Or at least in an area, this is just pointless lumping it in, "hit and hope" as they say.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Its half time, not full time

1 point at best.... I suspect we will not score though, we don`t have the ability.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

So Bournemouth at home is Goodisons last day in the Premier League..... she will see her days out in the Championship

Genuinely makes me want to weep.

 

[Sadken]

We are going down because the majority of this squad were bought from championship teams and that is their level.

 

[kenada_blue]

As dodgy as that was with VAR he was off. Tidy finish though. Pressure will get to us second half, fully expect this to end up 3-0.

Good 10mins hustle and bustle. 2.0 down soon after

 

[ford_uk]

That VAR didn't look any different to the one given last night for Stones

 

[TheBigIguana]

That sucks but illustrates why the goal has to be to get McNeil and Iwobi to central positions more. Neither can do a lick out wide and even with DCL Newcastle will be happy to let us cross. Swap McNeil to the right and either bring Gray on or get Iwobi to the left and let's turn this into a complete performance.

It's so frustrating because we do 85% or whatever of the game really well but we just do not create presentable chances. Part of that is quality but it is also certainly part coaching.

 

[Lob]

Could have been given either way, seen plenty given but bring Everton into the equation i.e the club who are being investigated for financial fraud and who everyone hates and it always goes against them. Never any different.
