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

[Papa Shango]

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

He did.

We have too many players who think passion is just kicking the opponent too though.

Beak and Aldi will put thier body on the line in this premier league relegation scrap. They were built for it.
They love everton. They won't let it happen.

 

[Vedder]

Simply can't have 6-7 players not doing the basics and winning their individual battles game after game.

You just knew it within 5 minutes of that match, Keane, Mina, Gomes all slow, half arsed and ponderous, Gray poor on the ball, Richarlison offering nothing

Mina didn't want to know tonite, weird how he always goes off with a muscle pull or something when he up against it

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

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.

I get that supporting a club gives us an identity and a sense of community. I genuinely love this forum (for the most part) and interacting with all of you guys, whether we agree with each other or not, but on the football side of things I’m done.

I simply can’t afford to invest my emotional energy into this team anymore. It’s definitely a “me” problem as I have real trouble managing my anger and frustration when we’re crap, and we’ve had such a sustained period of crapness that I’ve had to just let go.

I’ll always check in on the results and I’ll defo always post on here but every single other thing going on in my life is taking priority over this from now on.

We'd already made two subs.

I know we were limited but we didn't even change the approach and Gomes ended up getting subbed inevitably but I get what your saying

 

[Marius57]

Garbage.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Newcastle well up for that. The fans made a massive difference for them. They are a much better side than their league position.

Need a strong response on Saturday.

 

[blueloon]

Sigh , you know it’s bad when you switch over to watch Burnley and hope United beat them , even that didn’t happen.

I guess the only bright spot tonight was VDB , only him and Gordon showed any desire to get on the ball.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

All considered - that's my most disappointing result and performance of the season.

 

[Caolam]

Welcome to Everton Frank. If I could give you one bit of advice it would be not to instill confidence in this team, they have nothing to be confident about.

 

[Tipp blue]

Can we really expect to win any game with Gomes and Allan in CM, both painfully slow.

 

[samcdavies94]

Issues all over the pitch but the lack of pace and mobility at wing back was so restrictive. It's nice to see Gordon and Gray come inside looking for the ball, but moves break down when the lads playing out wide need an age to get forward and support

 

[Zatara]

Stop it! Branthwait wasnt good. He was terrible! Gordon was school kid level. Gomes is the only one able to do something with a ball but nothing came of. Allan is all over the place. Coleman is laughable bad.

None of that is true

 

[efcforever]

We just have no fight in us. Once their second goal went in our players looked like they were desperate for the game to end. Why can't they just get stuck in and at least go down fighting?

 

[Curtis]

The injuries restricted him surely?

Definitely I think I'm just peeved at Gomes existing as a footballer but yeah he had constraints
