I see some lousy bastard burgled Theirno Barry’s house last night when he was playing for us, feel sorry for the lad, he scored, assisted and then has to go home to house burgled, lets hope they catch the scumbags who done this

Maybe Moyes should warn Mykolenko, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry and Johnston that they should stop playing crap 1 game in every 2.

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.

2 weeks wages might buy us a striker !!!

Yes good performance from him, he is infuriating at times, but worked his arse off and gave Dan burn a tough night. Seen so many players with more talent than him not put the effort it.Effort and work rate is a talent it’s self so we’ll done to him !

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 .

It’s right he should be punished, but it should always be the manager who makes that decision. Grealish needs to step up now, highest paid player at the club should be setting a good example not a bad one !

#MoyesOut

as i have said this is a water shed moment for moyes he has to get rid of grelish this was evertons most important game this season and he chose to miss training to go out if the rumours are right on the ale you are now done mate NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN OUR CLUB watch the door does not hit you on the arse on your way out back to football hacney is wot has been missing in centra mid i thought dibbling was exelent and i thought rhol did well he is not makeing as many mistakes in that posision as before time will tell this was a much better posative attacking display we are all crying out for lets not fuck this up by changing a winning side AGAIN

Sounds like the rumours that he was dropped from the Arsenal game because he was out on the lash were true.

Rohl does get caught out of position far too often. You can see he is far more comfortable advanced and driving forward with pace.

Norgaard was given 4 mins plus 3 injury time. Not sure he even touched the ball.

Grealish didn’t turn up for training. Probably on a bender the night before.

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.

I thought he provided speed and some useful runs, but he just lacked the final pass or shot. Good signs though. Needs more minutes.

Hackney done ok took his goal well ,only criticism was he gave the ball away a number of times in dangerous position,but he looks a player in the making

I think he’s a starter or at least a sub with regular and substantial minutes; he’ll only get better.

Tarky was immense,he deserved MOTM,I expected more from George and dibbling but overall it was a good performance

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.

Pointless loan. Could have used the funds on proper right back or right winger. Slows the game down anyway. Feel good factor of half a season is well and truely gone with him.

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.

I agree about Myko keeps getting a bad press for some reason, been one of our best players all season for me.

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.

I am now keenly awaiting Monday’s Teamsheet.

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.

I’m not sure I even noticed them honestly – so they didn’t stand out. I was pleased for Alcaraz that he got 15-20 mins as he usually gets about 2.

HI Laurie, It was a bit late in the game, and we were seeing it out, so to speak, so hard to judge, but didnt do anything wrong (this time 😂)

Get paid

Thanks, Ian, just saved me some time typing.

Moyes would have hated last nights game.It was far too open for his liking.33 shots-22 from Newcastle,11 from us.5 on target us ,9 on target Newcastle.Last ditch defending and brave blocks from us saw us win the game.Brilliant game for the fans,and credit to Moyes for allowing the open,end to end football to continue but dont expect more of the same.

I didn’t watch the game – but from the match report and comments, it seems that Everton edged it slightly in a fiercely competed game, and the margins were the better finishing and the better goal-keeper. Also, Tarkowski put in an unbelievable block. That was a fairly young team – Rohl, O’Brien, Dibling, George, Hackney, Barry – and to come out victorious against a talented and experienced Newcastle team is a terrific achievement. I am so pleased for Barry and Hackney, both excellent players for the future. Also, I am convinced that Dibling will get better with playing time, and will prove to be a master acquisition. The league game against the same opponents is also unfortunately at an ungodly hour on Monday (Tuesday early morning here), so won’t be able to watch it. Hope to wake up to happy news again when I open my phone Tuesday morning.

Although not great, he was far from anonymous, Mike; give the lad a break.

I hope he gets fined two weeks wages he has missed two matches let him realise how bleedin’ lucky he is to be earning(?) these ridiculous wages.

I’ve no idea what Grealish’s breach of club discipline was all about but the last thing the club needs with such a small squad especially is players making themselves unavailable by acting like a prick. Everton have made a significant investment to bring him in and he needs to remember that. He’s not working in a warehouse on minimum wage. He’ll be retiring in a couple of years a pretty wealthy bloke and needs to realise he’s in that fortunate situation by being a footballer. So be a footballer, Jack, not a knob.

So hoe do you get any time to prove you can play without getting any game time? As you appear to have all the answers MG?You think we should stick with Moyes habit of never rotating players and just run the same 11 into the ground?Even the better Sunday league teams make full use of their squad because being successful entails playing more games. But maybe in the US the Sunday league is of a higher standard than the rest of the world?In your expert opinion then, you consider the abysmal Johnson has shown more than Dibling?

Mike, imo Armstrong will take Hackneys’s place on Monday.

David Moyes plays talented young players, sets up the team with positive intent, and we win handsomly. Go figure.Hackney was very good, George turned in a better performance than Grealish has managed recently, and Dibling played better than Johnston has managed in any game since he signed.As I predicted last week, the young players are finallly selected (including Dibling in his first start since Wolves), and the Moyes apologist in chief is on complaining that they are ‘not good enough’ as they didn’t perform like Saka and Semenyo.This is despite Maitland-Niles, Mykolenko, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish and Johnston turning in multiple poor performances this season that should have seen them dropped. At least pretend to apply some level of objectivity and consistency in your arguments.Great performance, right selection, same team again in the away fixture.

I only saw the highlights (not on my streaming service). How did Norgaard and Alcaraz play when they came on?

I agree on your man of the match.A great display of leadership from Tarks tonight.

Half a dozen games? This isn’t Sunday league, it’s top level professional football. Even young players are expected to step up and take their opportunities when they come, and to attack their responsibilities at both ends of the pitch. Nobody gets six weeks to prove themselves. The club can’t afford it in the world’s most intense competition. If the player wants to earn more minutes, it’s his job to give the manager a reason to put him on the pitch every week. Today Hackney and Dibling had equal opportunities to do that. Hackney came through. Dibling did not. We will see Monday how Moyes judges their efforts.

Given the agression at times I think Monday’s encounter is going to be a good watch.

He’s a MFer / Wingback. He’s seen the lay of the land with Moyes and the MF and how – up to now – a ‘real’ MF player like Hackney struggles to get minutes. So he’s opted for the best deal for on field action he can get at the moment – which is at RB and fair play to him.Because Moyes is never going 3 at the back plus wing backs as long as his arse points to the ground

If a player is “slack with his passing” three games in a row, should it be described as unusual?I was hoping for a Wolves-like stormer from Dibling after his two passive appearances off the bench against Chelsea and Arsenal. Instead he was again anonymous, and it was Hackney who stepped up with aggression.

You are totally correct pete, how dare they show attacking posture of any sort, when we all know that the way to win football games is defend, defend, then do a bit more defending.

LOL
