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

[luuk_deventer]

Selling Digne is, in hindsight, the thing that I think will ultimately see us go down. Really think he would have thrived under Lampard, but instead we have to trot Townsend out there to play a position he absolutely cannot.

Digne was terrible for so long. He would not have made a difference tonight.

On Frank for not seeing that DCL for Gomes was the obvious change. Should have moved Alli central and Richarlison left. We had nothing up top when we inevitably hoofed it. Lost all of our pace when Gray went off. Again, on Frank for putting Alli on the left, DCL could have come on at that point.

This isn’t a scathing attack on Lampard, but he has to see those changes going forward.

Holgate and Keane for the foreseeable is harrowing. 5 at the back with Townsend will be the norm for awhile whilst Mykolenko is out.

That mutant Fraser always scored against us as well

If Wilson was playing it would have been 9-1

 

[Papa Shango]

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

We are a better team with him in it.

More than anything else I’m frustrated with myself tonight. For a while I’ve avoided watching us because I know how angry and upset this team can make me and it’s not fair to myself or my family for me to get that worked up over something so relatively meaningless as football.

After the weekend I decided I’d chance it tonight and here I am again, seething.

I’m gonna take a deep breath, eat a delicious flapjack and finish my book. I urge you folks to do something to take your mind off this nonsense, too. Football is not worth damaging your mental health over at the best of times and this dumpster fire of a club is definitely not.

I know it’s easier said than done, but put it out of your head and move on. Look after yourselves.

(And I’ll see you back here on Saturday, obvs…)

It’s been two years of this really..with a brief month or so of happiness under Carlo. Yet we keep coming back. Like battered spouses.

Gordon showed some passion tonight (only one) but went with DVB looked pretty good when he came and went with him.

 

[APN_EFC]

WTF is wrong with people already writing off Lampard & Delle Alli ...go home

 

[MikeH72]

We had no manager for half the window, we had no DoF for all the window

The only way we were getting a CB was if we sold one of the 5 we already have

So how do you explain us signing two number 10s then?

 

[johntmorgan67]

Well now the rage has subsided I must say how piss poor and cowardly we were , bullied all over the field and 10% effort from the usual suspects …. Embarrassing

 

[lungo]

6 managers and not one can see that Keane Colman holgate are not good enough and people voting for Gordon as mom is mad he went into a few challenges but that’s all 0 end product and gets caught on the ball way to often
Rikki can’t play as a cf didn’t hold the ball up or bring others into play far better coming of the wing
Townsend was poo tonight all in all I think we’re going down only good thing tonight was VDB and he was at most ok

Gordon would be great at futsal. He is a school boy not ready for the big time yet.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

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.

Well he better score a shyteload of goals because without Ben and Mina we are F...

 

[Death]

Jesus if Burnley win here. Its in thier hands to over take us

 

[Fansince1988]

I wish I shared your optimism mate. This was the game that either showed us we had something we could build on after the Brentford win, or showed it up to be a fluke. It looks like the latter. I honestly don’t see how we get much better in the coming weeks.

Of course, I hope I’m wrong!!

Personally I Brentford wasn’t massively to fussed about the FA cup, not saying they didn’t try but they would swap that for staying in the PL. so i enjoyed that win but ive been following Everton long enough to know it’s wasn’t going to change over night. I supported Everton in the dire times, Mike walker, then when we draw with Coventry to stay up they were very dire times. We have a decent squad but the players are will off the pace atm, mainly down to poor management, I think Lampard will quickly sort that out, I don’t have any worries about going down there are worse teams than us, but regardless of that we will collect easy enough points.

 

[kenada_blue]

Lucas Digne playing tonight would've had 0 impact on that performance mate.

We would've had a left back rather than a winger who's legs have gone.

The idea that Benitez sold him to replace him with a young novice left back from another country while thinking Godfrey could "do a job" is a criminal offence in my eyes

 

[Papa Shango]

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

The only other contender is Van De Beek who came on after what, 60 minutes or so?
