Match Thread Newcastle v Everton - Wed 13th December

[eurosrees]

Big Sam has us set up to scrape every point we can until he can reinforce in January, it’s not pretty but perfectly the correct thing to do. If he can get us within 5/6 points of 7th then we can get going properly after that.

Playing crap and winning is much better than playing crap and losing like we did under RK.

Id have taken a point here. Prob still would. 3 points and i dont give 2 fs how we get them would be brilliant. Park the lines of defense and hit on break , corners anything. Just get me 3 points

If we get an away win after almost a year I want to erect my statue for big Sam if possible.

Fixed that for you.

Crazy game. We could and should be behind. We haven’t played well at all, but strangely if we get a second, we might get 3. Similar to Huddersfield at home siguardsson and Lennon are too deep, there full back bombing forward, we need to exploit that space in behind. I’d be looking at bringing on vlasic or lookman.

Christ almighty. A couple of wins and yis are now bored and are annoyed we ain't playing like Barca.

The more results we secure, the more our confidence will rise and equally our opponents will be more fearful. Then we can work on our style.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I think we have had some really good moments with the ball, but there needs to be a bit more urgency.

Santa won't be happy with the amount of wet bedsheets tonight.

Why, who is he getting into bed with?

We had one on Thursday.

I know we look abysmal at the moment but I guess we need to realise that the manager really has very few options to choose from.

I'm sure he'd rather not have to play the terrible pairing of Schneiderlin and Gueye, but Davies had been very poor this season and there literally is nobody else.

We have one winger in the entire squad in Lennon.

We have two strikers in the squad in Niasse and DCL.

The football is awful, but at the moment it has to be Martina at left back and Williams or Jagielka at centre back as Keane has been atrocious this season.

There are so few options available to Allardyce. Somehow we've picked up some points recently, god knows how we'll maintain this lead playing like this in the second half.

Sort it out Everton.

We have 2 wingers on the bench i think

this premiership dubstep tune that always plays on loop makes me want to do bad things to good people

 

[toffeejack]

He has held it well on occasion but to be honest I would prefer Niasse then maybe we would keep it on the floor a bit more. Getting like the big dunc days for my liking.

i appreciate that we have been guilty over the last few years of losing the ball continuously in bad areas due to sloppy play, but these long hoofs don't sit too well with me either tbh.

agreed

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Play like that second half and we won't be as lucky as we were in the first. Get Schneiderlin off if he's not prepared to make an effort.

Is right
