Newcastle United 1 - 2 Everton - 02/01/13 - post-match reaction from page 53


Recommended Posts

Didn't get close to putting in a tackle or block that whole move for their second goal.

 

Small time of the Everton fans to chant Demba Ba's name. Scouse mackems.

 

Karma will bite their arses when they lose Fellaini and Baines.

 

Man City buying Jack Rodwell for £19m was so lucky.

 

More so than us getting £35m for Carroll? Only £15m anyway according to the rags.

Clueless from Santon tbh.

 

Not a centre back tbh, we were horribly out of shape.

 

We were, but he was totally useless. He's supposed to be a defender first and foremost.

 

Positionally it's very different, angles etc.

He hasn't done much defending the last month.  Not having Jonas there to back him up has really shown how poor he is defensively.

I dont particularily rate Santon - yet.

Lacks end product and suspect defensively. That said he is still young. Great engine too.

On the balance of play, Everton definitely deserved their win tonight. And that is indicative of our current situation.

They were definitely the more organised and the classier in possession. Purely in terms of chances though, I thought we were unlucky not to come away with a point.

I think the stick people are giving Everton is quite harsh. We made them look good a lot of the time but they're well organised and affective in what they do- they can play direct or on the deck. We're certainly not in a position to criticise anyone.

Is anyone giving Everton any stick? They were good, 2nd half they made us look like rank amateurs.

 

They did their job very well - could've scored a bunch in the first half and didn't let us play one bit 2nd half. But their time wasting was monumentally irritating. They definitely look like a team that knows exactly what's expected of them though, and will do whatever they can to get the points.

:lol: Yous can have whatever opinion you like on us. My own opinion is calling us "long ball merchants" and "average" is incredibly petty and bitter, especially when the 2nd goal came about due to excellent passing and movement.

 

On the balance of chances in the game, a draw probably would've been fair, that can't really be denied.

Tis like. Not gonna suck you off but you're clearly a good side.

Also, don't understand our strategy when we have the ball. Even during a counter. We don't get the support needed. Too many players dropping back to give an option behind the ball rather than drawing opposition players and making space. Crosses are always from deep and rarely find a body in the box because we haven't got numbers in there. Man Utd are the classic example of generally having 4+ players in and around the box when a cross comes in: we always seem to rely on Cisse or whoever being a magician against 2/3 defenders. Similarly, when we lose the ball we don't press quick enough or in numbers. Too much pussyfooting. Everything is backing off and even then we don't pick up runners thereby giving the oppo the chance to pick out a pass into space or over the top. Basically shite.

We didn't have HBA/Ba at the time though. Imagine if they had Yaya and Fellaini in the centre instead of Barry/Rodwell :laugh:

Agreed, not sure about the draw bit. Think yous went a bit easy on us.

I don't have any bad feelings towards Everton at all, but I was surprised how poor you were tonight. The gameplay seems to rely entirely on hitting Felliani with long passes and the odd set piece from Baines. Maybe it was just an off night, but I didn't see any reason to praise them except the result.
