The TW love-in continues with last ditch Tarks will never die. It will continue long after he is finished. Just like it did with Seamus.NINE out of ten ???? WTF ????The guy would have been sent off if VAR was a factor. The way he shit himself when that Brazilian fanny Joelinton jumped back up after he pushed him from behind to the ground does not bode well for Monday. He will be exploited.7/10 for an all too rare game when he wasnt responsible for us conceding. would have sufficed.As for marking Jake O`Brien down for not dealing with a running 6ft 7 defender from a standing start….Words fail. There is not a defender in the world who would have beaten Burn under those circumstances

For a veteran player with over 300 appearances and 39 caps to let his team down on the eve of a Cup match is inexcusable. This is no dumb kid. He’s supposed to behave like a professional.

I think a 7 for Hackney, he scored and assisted another but his general play was disappointing.A 7 for Rohl and a 8 for Myko. A 9 for Dewsbury-Hall the effort he gives is outstanding.

I was at the game so don’t have the benefit of the cameras views but for me we looked a much better balanced attacking side with both George and Dibling on the flanks.Dibling may not have torn them a new one but he showed more than I’ve seen from Johnson so far.I just hope Jake O’Brien is patient and waits his turn to form the future CB pairing with Branthwaite as He (JOB) also looked good last night. But Tarkowski is un-droppable at the moment and deserves his place and the armband.

KDH lost the ball a couple of times as well in dangerous positions which didn’t stop him from being voted MOTM by many people, while Grealish has been a regular starter this season even though he’s done next to nothing. Praise the players loudly in public and whisper their faults in private. Most experienced manager in the premier league utter the pundits ! Jesus he’s learned next to nothing since he started as manager of PNE— didn’t have the guts to drop and fine Grealish himself.

Newcastle although poor yesterday are a better side than wolves Mike.Hall is a very good left back too.That said Dibbling did some good and bad things. I watched him go past a player with a little jig at one point and it was so easy for him so much ability in there, that the lad just needs time on the pitch.No everton player has been truly outstanding in every game, yet if Dibbling isn’t outstanding in the one game he starts in weeks, it’s not good enough?He’s judged harshly I think, and if he thinks he’s got to be outstanding every time he gets the ball, he’ll be trying too hard & under too much pressure.

I learned- Hackney should start, he’s invariably one of our more incisive players when he does get a game- It’s a low bar but Dibling has more about him than Johnson- Barry has got it in him to put away a chance, that finish was pretty decent, not just a tap in. I’ve always said, there’s a half decent striker in that gangling frame, if he just builds a bit of self belief- To my astonishment, and while he remains a gash footballer, Myko has occasionally started to look vaguely threatening in attackWhat is still to learn is whether Jack is back to his old tricks. To be frank, I was never enthusiastic about him coming back on those wages, nice guy but a bit of a loose cannon. But then I also owe a mea culpa on Tarks who I thought we should be moving on from. Sure he’s now pretty slow and we have to adapt the set up for that, but he’s playing as well as he ever has.

Excuse me for a short rant, look away maybe. Aw, fuck off Moyes! We just wanted to enjoy what appeared to be a thoroughly enjoyable cup match, one that flattered your methods, by the way. Now, you have to do your big balls routine like this was a planned development for the kid. Just shut up sometimes, damn. Rant over.

I thought our midfield were excellent, and Hackney showed why he should definitely be a starter, Dibling offers more than Johnson, and Tarkowski’s tackle was unbelievable, credit where it’s due.

Best I’ve seen since the Chelsea 3-0 last season.We looked much more mobile with George and Dibling on the flanks.So funny to wave goodbye to the rapidly disappearing hordes of horse punchers shortly after them deriding OUR support as effing shit! I congratulated a bunch of them in town on winning the singing.Their obsession with Pickford is weird beyond parody.

I learnt Newcastle are very poor ! Playing Hackney, Dibbling & George doesn’t weaken the side, they offer different abilities, different approaches, which for different opponents is what you need over a season. Dibbling showed a couple of flashes, but even them flashes offer so much more than Johnson.

Very difficult to drop the captain, when he has been our most consistent player all season…Yes, the team does get dragged back without him, but without serious upgrades at full back, I dont think that is a bad thing. The gaps behind with them would leave us wide open.

Great win, some good performances.George & Dibbling may not have had amazing games but they were on the pitch and Everton scored 3 goals, not a coincidence?KDH & Garner both upped their performances and it showed massively, with Hackney trying to get forward too it just looked more offensive, with more intent.Tarks again solid, in great form.The ref wasn’t the best but he got the crowd angry and made for a great atmosphere.George, Dibbling & Hackney all did good and bad things, but without a real run of games that’s what you will get, give them the opportunity now to grow in the team .

I thought George had more impact than this, stretching play down the wing & his persistence led to the first goal. For me l, George, Dibling and Hackney are key players for the future and should be played more.

While Dibbling didn’t set the place alight I think we have to remember his confidence must be very low considering how few minutes he has had, But he is better than Johnson so if its a straight choice between the 2 its Dibbling for me. Cant understand Moyes reluctance in starting Hackney for me he looks like the real deal and I like the fact he is eager to get in the box. Garner had his best game of the season. For me KDH was our best player closely followed by Tarkowski and Mykolenko. After the first 15 minutes we looked eager to get forward and I liked the way Hackney and KDH kept alternating their positions. I thought Barry took his goal well and a good assist for Hackneys goal, just wish his all round game was better. I guess Monday will be a different kettle of fish and no doubt there will be changes, just lets hope they don’t revert back to sitting back.

Hackney, Rohl, Dibling and George are club signings, while KDH, Grealish, Johnston and Norgaard are likely Moyes signings.So I wonder who he will select for the league game away to Newcastle? He should keep the same team and positive gameplan, but he will default to type. Dibling out for Johnston, Hackney out for Armstrong and George only staying in the side due to Jack’s love of the top shelf in the bar.

I’d have preferred to hear Moyes say ” it was my decision and the club have backed me” Saying the club has made this decision sounds bizarre. Who has dropped him ? Kinnear ? Dan Friedkin, his son in law ? “The club has dropped him and I support their decision” What a load of shit. Say it as it is Moyes. Pound to a pinch of shit, if it wasn’t Moyes’s decision he would not have agreed with it.

If Grealish has missed training then he’s let himself the club and fans down. He should be disciplined. Say so, say it’s been dealt with internally and move on. It’s being played out like a murder mystery. Either there’s more to it or we are turning it into a bigger situation than merited.

Seems strange to say how clinical we were in front of goal all 3 goals were well worked and well taken. KDH covered every blade of grass and was integral in everything we did. Garner looked back to his best in controlling midfield, I also like the way KDH and Hackney took it in turns to comeback to collect the ball from our back 4 and push us forward. Dont know why Moyes is still suggesting Hackney has a lot to learn I thought he was terrific. Thought Mykolenko, Tarkowski and O,Brien were very solid although Rohl did well his positional sense sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. I am a massive critic of Barry but fair play he laid the goal on for Hackney and a good finish from a brilliant run by KDH. I thought Dibbling did ok but needs games to get his confidence back, I dont think George had his best game, but these are 2 players who will benefit from more minutes on the pitch.But overall a well deserved victory now onto the mighty Fleetwood.

Yeah I think his reluctance to praise Hackney afterwards and his inability to praise any individual player was founded in his disappointment with the defensive side last night – harder for us to see exactly what he means but the stats speak for themselves – I read it was 29 shots by Newcastle (albeit the vast majority were not on target). We felt vulnerable the whole game.

Thought both teams were bang average but we actually created clearer chances and finished well for once. On another day Newcastle could have made it a much tougher game if they’d buried the chances they got. Don’t understand how Moyes sends out a team that is generally well organised defensively but concedes 29 shots! I think that is why he was not full of praise for any of the midfielders yesterday. He demands absolute defensive rigidity.
