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

Not all the players though. Are Gordon and Gray good? Nah. But they can be better with proper support and options.

Gray will never ever be the required standard, ever. He wasn’t when we signed him and he’s not now. Gordon would be the same if he was 26, he’s got time to improve and easily could but is miles off where we need right now.

Didn’t get to watch. How bad was it?

 

[Dixie1sixty]

Piss poor.

 

[banno]

We are blunt....that is the be all end all. Our forwards are not very good and it will have to be addressed.

Like the look of Garner. Don't understand the hate for Gana and Onana....2 of our better players. Without Gana tonight they would have walloped us

 

[Oasis1878]

Pickford can't catch or find our man. Begovic is much more dominant and 'sensible'

I’ll just leave it there. There’s 0% chance in debating Begovic is better than Pickford because every single person worldwide knows the answer.

He’s made mistakes in the past, one last week for example, but he didn’t do anything wrong at all tonight

 

[ToffeeTim]

And no other options is the most worrying part

Crap recruitment. End of story

 

[Noble Savage]

Bernard ! You cant be serious!

I would of started him tonight. Seriously.

Bad.

Probably our worst performance of the season so far, 3 points though, on to Spurs we go...

It was definitely a battle of who was worse today, think Bruno was the different really! Can definitely see a big side coming in for him in the summer, especially if he goes to the World Cup

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Reality biting this last three games. Worrying lack of ability in certain players very concerning. Are there three worse sides than us, not sure that there are this time.

Fully expecting Palace to turn us over next too.

 

[ah11984]

Truly embarrassing that. We were more potent when we had Steve Watson or Oumar Niasse up front.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Not my job to know names but other clubs sign unknown successful players regularly. I'd rather of took the 15m punt on that Diaz atm.

Blackburn were never selling him, he was £10m start of the window then suddenly his value went up an extra £5m maybe even £10m

 

[Amokachi1995]

Sounds like burnley

Actually thought the same thing during the match. Hopefully we've got a bit more quality.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

No cutting edge.

We could have got something out of that with a better front 3.
1 shot on goal, 0 on target.
Gray got into good positions, but his final ball was wrong every time.
DCL barely got a touch, but looked rusty.
Gordon huffed and puffed, but only put a cross in after DCL had been subbed off.

You missed a classic
