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

The wingers need to be narrower to get the fullbacks into the game. They're hugging the touchline so where do the fullbacks go?

Havent seen both fb go ahead of both wingers all game, to create space . Dont mind wingers cutting in but no every time we need to be putting the ball in the box

Dont forget Pickford. That goal was hilarious.Lobed from the edge of the box….

Hilarious that you claim to be an Evertonian

…..didn’t think it was too bad until they scored and got momentum.

We obviously lack threat but more of a concern is that we don’t play in the top third. We never have sustained pressure, we never have numbers in attacking positions. Suggests to me we lack blend, quality and strategy.

it would be something if we look like scoring from a corner but we don’t.

Game far from over unless they score next.

IT WAS BAD we don’t attack, we CAN’T attack, not good on the ball, no cohesion or chemistry

 

[Saaby]

Onana and Gueye are just the same as Allan and Doucoure,they don't create anything.Gordon and Gray are headless chickens We will struggle to stay up with this team.

We need to find a budget Rodri

 

[Dougie]

I know mate, but I am making myself sick with how much I hate both of these teams.

Fully agree with you on that.

 

[john jako]

Without the ball they're being let down by the system. Iwobi is clearly supposed to go but no one fills behind him so you're ending up with 3v2 every time and not enough pressure close to the ball to actually effect it.

If you play 3 in the middle then surely two of them need to actually be decent with the ball at their feet? Can’t see any of them with that.

 

[Big-Blue-Cogsy]

Do people honestly still believe that Frank Lampard is the man to take us where we want to be

C'mon guys ....
?

They haven't done but I don't really think there is any way for them to with how we're playing

 

[II McColl II]

We continue to build squads that are empty of any creativity whatsoever, all our attacking players play like they look great with the ball, then the next pass is to the opposition.

Sick of watching Gray and Gordon, neither create anything for others, Iwobi is starting to look lost the last few games, no idea what role he's meant to have.

Coleman can't be binned soon enough, we stink but it's no coincedence we've gone markedly downhill since he's come back in again.

Onana has been shocking. For someone of his frame he should get that ball and just run at pace, if he'd done that before the newcastle goal instead of plodding about and falling over to a gust of wind we might have avoided another error leading to a goal.

Could go on to a list of a number of players but we just need to start getting players in to the team who can see a pass or a cross early.

 

[jjefc06]

Salah gets a penalty for that!

Ok

 

[miami]

Gray and Gordon not offering enough, iwobi has been swarmed every time he gets it. Onana, although guilty of a few miss-placed passes and dives has also played 2 great through balls when were unluckily offside. one of his through balls might pay off.

 

[windymiller]

Did any station show a replay of the flagged offside on Dominic Calvert-Lewin?

It looked too close to be flagged to me.

He was miles off, mate.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Lampard is on a great run here. He will outbenitez Benitez. At least Benitez had the excuse of no money.

We were 7 unbeaten before United soft lad

 

[GoldenToffee]

If Gordon gets sent off then I hope he's told that he best instruct his agent to get back on the blower to Chelsea because he's done for here.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Not a mention of the second yellow for Joelinton on the Amazon half time….
