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

We need to forget this one and just move onto Palace now, an awful night, a bit of match fitness for DCL is the only positive

 

[MACCA75]

Our wide players are so poor I’d be tempted to try a diamond in midfield, Gana at the base, Iwobi at the top and Onana and Gana left and right. DCL and Maupay up front. Probably Vinagre left back too.

I still think that people have got to remember where we're coming from and what is realistic this season. People are talking on here like we should have been good enough to turn over our last three opponents because we had a half decent window and got rid of some deadwood. We are not going to be turned overnight into a team that finishes top 6 and the sooner we start treating the last three losses and the two wins before it with a bit more of a level head the better. This is a season where we want to obviously finish as high as we can but can we have some realism please. Lampards job (after making us more solid) is to make us more potent up front and hopefully this next transfer window he'll be given some funds for attacking reinforcements.

I think its fairly realistic to expect a Premier league football team to get at least 2 or 3 shots on target in a game of football, or maybe its just me

Imagine not knowing you've got partly the wrong kit on. How does none of all the personnel around him not notice and point it out. Mind boggling stuff.

Did he actually have boots on?

Missed this completely,,celebrating my Lads 18th.

A blessing, on both counts.

Any positives to take from the game?

Will be at Palace game Saturday, hope its a good way to end his 18th Celebrations!!

How bad was Maupay when he came on. Plays like a child.

Have to say he looked well off it tonight. Repeatedly clueless with a bouncing ball or at his feet.

How would you know what a child plays like?

I just want to congratulate every person who didn't watch the game tonight.

My mates in a bad way so watched the Chelsea game with him.

Looking at the stats though, "0 shots on target" I'm glad I missed!

This bad mate…

Newcastle v Everton

Possession - 50% - 50%

Shots - 16. - 1

On target - 4. - 0

Corners - 8 - 2

A solid defense means nothing if we can’t start finding some goals. We’ve only scored more than one goal one time all season. That’s pathetic.

Saturday is huge. Touch wood a 1-0 win and then try and get a few points on the board. be arsed going through that again from last season.

We will undoubtedly lose that one too.

By the way this isn’t just on frank, it’s the whole coaching team. What exactly are they doing in training because clearly the intensity is shocking and the creativity is lacking if we can’t even create more than 1 attempt at goal in 90 minutes against Newcastle.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

The purpose is to analyze the match beyond the final score. You don't have to like it or participate, but pretending it's all fake is just accepting ignorance. Some people want to understand the game while others are just here for the emotion. Both are fine.

So people didn't understand or couldn't analyze the game before this kind of metric/terminology was invented?

What absolute nonsense.
