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

[Azza]

That was that hagged mess doing then?! lol

 

[Davideeyore]

I'd say that many of the players were liable for that, Lampard needs to take them to task and come up with a solution quick. I don't know where we're going to get a handful of results from to stay up. Each game we collapse.

 

[Ring master]

I expected a draw at best, but from minute 1 when Mina seemed to give the ball away to anyone he wanted to, to the Injuries, to just about the rest, was just so Everton, we did nothing basically the 2nd half apart from conceed

 

[Buzz Lightroom]

We've managed 61% possession which is probably our highest in a league game in a long, long time but still allowed Newcastle to have 20 shots on goal. Frank has clearly done something to get the team to have possession but needs to do a lot more work to make that possession count.
It's very early days but I still think Frank will come good and turn us around in time.

 

[Everton_Gary]

Calm down ffs. This forum is full of negativity.
Newcastle had two scrappy goals and 1 screamer.
We’re not getting relegated.

I like your optimism but all the signs are there to see.

 

[PhilipK]

Why is Van de Beek so unwilling to make a tackle? I thought Gomes was bad at tackling but I hope we haven't got another shirker. Over to you, Frank, you've got a job on your hands!

 

[PhilRegan]

I think it's fair to say who wins the Richarlison vs maximan argument

 

[Joey66]

Those early injuries wrong substitutions should have altered shape strengthening the midfield.,..

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

He has seen them in all their glory tonight, he now knows the full extent of the job in his hands.

Aye, Jekyll and Hyde alright. As ever, it's about the response in the next game. The one positive we have is that Goodison is very much on his side. Tapping that feel good factor and getting these players to feed off it is key I feel.

 

[Dougie]

by the way what a S***House situation we are in to have 1 totally inexperienced new LB, and 3 RBs, and 3 midfielders out, one unrealistic (JPG) and still reliant on overworking Allan.

Well will need to change it up on Saturday as Allan will be suspended for picking up his 10th yellow.

 

[Frenk]

Need Calvert Lewin back and starting, have that direct presence up front,
Worrying but what did we expect alot if these players have failed for two ti three mangers previously.

I’m not sure he is the player we think he is.

 

[Tony1985]

The worrying thing for me is Newcastle wanted it more and it showed big time. Just need Lampard to get us safe, decent summer and go again next year. The mentality needs to change and quickly ffs.

 

[dublinbluenose]

We actually started ok, good tempo. Heads gone as soon as they equalised. Players automatically go into a shell and cant come out.

 

[Fansince1988]

Bet they won’t be nowhere near as good against Villa, that’s the problem teams see us there for the taking and that’s what we must change ASAP.

 

[Curtis]

Gordon was definitely motm but the fact he completely vanished in the second half just demonstrates how abysmal we were
