Looks fine to me.

Schar!?

Jesus

Longstaff booked for being shit.

Abysmal first half.

We have had 3 touches in Fulham’s penalty box this half.

I’m not convinced Willock was ready to come back when he did.

Gordon is trying to drag us along on his own.

Fulham had us pinned in our own corner then, no other option but to play it long and give it away.

First chance for us, good ball from Longstaff but a poor first touch from Isak.

20 minutes in and it isn’t any better. Fulham will slow down soon hopefully.

Krafth booked.

Fulham need a goal, they won’t be able to keep this level of pressure up all game.

Opening 10 minutes.

Murphy plays a horrible ball to Krafth that put us under pressure.

Fulham cutting us open than and had an extra man down their right. No sign of Murphy helping Krafth either.

Why can’t Willock and play there?

He is 25/1 to finish the top scorer in the Premier League, currently 3 goals behind Haaland and he has the best goals to minutes ratio of the top 20 highest scorers this season. Considering our run in those odds are decent.

We seem to be linked with young South Americans but that’s as far as it goes.

It is impressive that Brighton, Wolves and Bournemouth are in that pool. Ourselves, Man Utd and Chelsea not so much.

Compared to the run in last year where you had both Villa and Brighton as tough opponents going for sixth, the teams going for sixth this season are stumbling over each other to the finish line.

We played well tonight but Everton are a team that allow you to play well, they sit deep and constantly give up possession inviting the opposition to attack over and over. The disappointing thing is that we started the game really well, which was expected after carrying over the feel good factor from West Ham but we haven’t managed to retain that. There was a feeling that if we didn’t get the second goal we would regret it and that’s what happened. Ultimately, it was another game that we should have won and instead dropped 2 points in.

If Spurs qualify for the Champions League then joining them will be seen as a step up, even if only a small one.

I looked at December as being a congested month and January as difficult fixtures, but from February onwards we had a favourable run in for the rest of the season with only a few difficult games. I think it is fair to say our performances have been mixed since then, with a great result at the end of March against Villa which was unexpected. What I want to see from Howe between now and the end of the season is some consistency in both performances and results, as even with players out we should still be beating the majority of the team below. It isn’t as if they can play their best eleven every week either. Newcastle 4-4 Luton ? Forest 2-3 Newcastle ✅ Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth ? Arsenal 4-1 Newcastle ❌ Newcastle 3-0 Wolves ✅ Chelsea 3-2 Newcastle ❌ Newcastle 4-3 West Ham ✅ Newcastle - Everton Fulham - Newcastle Newcastle - Spurs Crystal Palace - Newcastle Newcastle - Sheffield United Burnley - Newcastle Newcastle - Brighton Brentford - Newcastle We also have the rearranged game away to Man Utd to drop in.

You would compare them at the point of transfer though, as Rice is arguably worth more than his transfer fee and Caicedo’s value would have dropped.
