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

[NilSatisOptimum]

Man of the match Gordon, the lad cares... His attitude needs to be the basic requirement!

DVB looks quality... That's about it, on yeah injuries did not help.

 

[Bob Latchford]

But tonight Newcastle have had there game of the season, we had one a while back against Arsenal and never built on it, let’s not worry about about them, they won’t play like this every week and I’m sure we will get much better in the coming weeks. Midfield needs to be worked on and I’m sure against Leeds that will be different, Lampard will have learnt a lot from this he isn’t a stubborn manager like Benitez is,

Hopefully he will start by binning off 3 at the back.

 

[ChicagoToffee]

Bleach much? Boiling match, loads of chippy. Three scrappy playground parking lot goals and a peach from Trippier.

Having to make 2 substitutions inside 30 mins did not help at all. Branthwaite will get more looks, Gordon sold his soul for a win.

Gomes got bossed today by Shelvey and Everton have got no one to match the pace / verve of St. Maximin. Am surprised that Lamps went with Alli instead of Iwobi - not enough time with the squad to get integrated.

Matches left. Points still out there.

 

[Blue Roo]

Why oh why do we continue with a 2 man central midfield, they`ve had 3 today and it absolutely showed.... Rafael couldnt see 3 at the back doesnt work, Frank cant see it.... WTAF

Against Newcastle it should have been a given. Poor choice by Lampard, as was playing Townsemd on left.

 

[JammyP]

Not covinced, if Gomez tug was a yellow, that shelvey demolition was not a red.
Onwards and upwards

At least we enjoyed Chico's preview

 

[Mashtray]

This is the worst injury riddled season I can even remember.

Must be?

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Well that was rubbish, got beat, 2 injuries and a sick player. Couldn’t have gone much worse. Looking forward to Leeds at the weekend.

 

[kev101]

Unlucky, those injuries really took it out of us

 

[Street end man]

Our players have been bullied on the pitch since Moyse left, was hoping Franks bottle might rub off on them a little bit. Nope, doesn't seem like.

Shocking and played like lowly and scared relegation candidates. They now deserve what they get as far as I'm concerned. That was cack.

 

[jinkyali]

Newcastle could have had 6 tonight

The formation we played tonight was horrendous the team looked like they had no clue what to do with the ball

Have to agree

 

[irishgoose]

I do think the attacking patterns will start to come together. Maybe that's me trying to be optimistic but I think you can see the beginnings of something.

We needed that.

However, I do agree with you. It was never going to be an instant turnaround.
I’m with ya, I for one like the new attacking philosophy.

 

[Death]

News filtering down to Burnley. They have us in thier sights.

 

[Dykovski200]

Great game for Lampard to see our problems first hand, yes we were bullied, we can’t play just Allan and Gomes together it doesn’t work. I would imagine VDB will play with Allan in the next game.

We should’ve gone 433 when Mina went off

 

[coleman=quality]

It would appear we got one of conte's Tripe.

Yes very quiet couple of glimpses that he may offer something

 

[bullybeef]

What a strange looking lady that Newcastle owner is

Looks like somat out of the grinch.
