It was the crowds fault putting pressure on the poor boys to pass it forward in the last minute when we could have played out the game for a valuable point

They are supposed to be professionals... if the pass isn't there then don't play it. A dead straight punt up the field to a team with a parked bus is 9 times out of 10 going to end up with a turnover of possession. Fell for it hook line and sinker.

And after 90 seconds we lost the match.

Those that laughed and told me Eddie wasn’t good enough for Everton should hang their heads in shame

TBH I didn’t think Howe was much good and he’s done amazing with a lot of players who Newcastle already had. But I will say Everton are a different beast and personality I still think he would have failed quickly here.Everton hardest job in football look how many so called decent managers have been embarrassed by managing us, even Carlo struggled to a degree only him and Big Sam have left with there heads held high.

Behave mate. A draw isn't a good result either and they messed around with it at the back with minutes left. The players are a joke and don't give a crap at all.

I put that passing to each other a sign of nobody taking the ball off then. Only Iwobi went right give it to me but even then it was too slow to happen.
 

I can understand the squad in a state of transition. Broadly speaking there are some interesting young players that look to have upside in the future. That doesn't excuse the questionable recruitment and obvious misses also under Thelwell, but still. Young players will make errors or lack mental fortitude in games. Case and point is Patterson, possibly at fault for the first goal yet also showing moments that would make you excited for the future.

That said survival is ultimately the most important and this result shows we are clearly a bottom level side. And although blame can be spread around my ire in these showings is predominantly on Frank. This team has from what I see has very limited patterns of play. Maybe more novice football watchers than I can suggests otherwise, but regardless of some better combinations in spurts the orient or purpose of such actions is almost never apparent. Overloading one side, scheming hold up and overlaps, having consistent approaches of attacking a specific link in the defense I am left amiss. Week after week it seems attempts come from anywhere with no incision. A quality that makes the games look like scrimmages with quality footballers. They don't seem prepared for their specific competition's traits which may reflect on their general lack of confidence. Another obvious weakness.

With isolated young players arguably improving, if thats Lampard's doing that's credible as that is the future of the squad. That said the question on to what extent is he doing that exceptionally compared to counterparts is equally worth discussion. Or if its enough of a reason to sweat out possible relegation. Removed of that apparent area of expertise I really dont see the additive tactical offerings of the manager. Haven't the majority of his tenure.
