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

[Bilko]

On the positive side, we scored without having a shot on target in the first half ?

I saw that but wasn't our goal a shot on target !

The feeling's mutual on my part! Terrible pundit.

He has such a dull way of commentating, how does he keep his job.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Yeah im saying id go DCL but think he will bring on VDB

Nah, VDB midfield looks tired

 

[Curtis]

Man Gordon was thriving on the pitch then the injuries occurred and it just derailed our momentum

 

[EFCccc]

I'm glad to go in at halftime level.

They aren't great but that diabolical passing out of defence from us has really spurred them on.

Unfortunate with the injuries and they should be down to 10 men.

Hopefully we improve second half. We can win this because going forward we look like we can cause them problems, we just need to do it more / better.

Am I missing something?. Going forward we look like we will cause problems?. Really?.

 

[Zatara]

Lampard will get the shape organized at HT, we've got this.they'll tire badly last 30 minutes.

Cant see them keeping this effort up.

 

[Sharpies volley]

Spot on, that’s why everyone seems ‘the best they’ve ever played’ against us.were

We're our own worst enemy. I've never seen a team who create so many problems for themselves as us. If it was someone else I'd be laughing my c@&£ off watching it. These are garbage. There's only St Maximin causing problems. If we get a grip in midfield we can win this.

I don’t think so. DCL gives us an option to go long as a Plan B. Bringing on DvB for Gomes doesn’t really allow us to change anything tactically.

We are a bit tied up with two injury subs. We either add a midfielder and try to get more of the ball and go at them, or we go a more direct route as you say. Both have pros and cons. In an ideal world we'd have two subs left and both could come on AND change shape

 

[bluelegend]

I think I’ll be happy with a point but can’t see it. The shaky Keane is back and likely to cost us.

 

[UltraVires]

Red card incoming second half for someone. My bets would be Shelvey or Holgate

 

[Fansince1988]

Holgate was at fault for the bad pass to Gomes. If he lumped it then it would be 1-0 to us.

People moan when we lump it though lol

 

[Zatara]

And leave Allan in his own in the middle with his pace? Are you trying to kill the man?

Id bring on DCL. Think Lampard will bring on VDB.

 

[mahermi1]

I think that’s a stretch mate. Our passing was all over the place, Mina constantly passing it to them out from the back, Gomes getting ran past all game and besides Gordon we haven’t shown any real threat ourselves.

About right, need to see more from Richarlison and hopefully Dele, bring DCL on play them three across the front.

 

[andy4efc]

Cant see them keeping this effort up.

Alot easier to do when you have momentum which for that 10 min after the equaliser they did.

Up to us to go and put a stamp on the game and not let them get that energy.

 

[maccavennie]

Want us to win, but most important thing is not to lose and give these meffs any momentum
