Eddie Howe has just announced the Newcastle team to play at St. James’ Park tonight against Everton – it’s a game we should win – but you never know with Newcastle.
HOWAY NEWCASTLE! ?#NEWEVE // #NUFC pic.twitter.com/WxJouLtQAm
— Newcastle United FC (@NUFC) April 2, 2024
Krafth starts at right-back, with Livramento and Trippier out, and it’s good to see Lewis Hall get a start at left-back after his excellent play against West Ham.
Hero Harvey Barnes starts up front – as expected – and let’s hope he can score more goals for us tonight.
Almost 75% of our readers think we will win this game – so if we don’t get all 3 points it will be a huge disappointment.

Comment #242Wow some of the comments tonight!!
We absolutely bossed the game and had a whisker offside goal disallowed, some point blank saves made and the post hit!!
We had 2 keepers on the bench, some youngsters and Dummet and Willock.
Their bench had Calvert Lewin, Harrison, Gomes and Coleman.
Dummet was an idiot for bringing down Young. He was no threat at all.
Yet again, injuries have cost us. Hall was doing very well until going off, then his replacement inexplicably brings down Young in the box.
Absolutely gutted with the result, but come on!!! Another day we win that 5-0!!!!!!!

Comment #244Anyone who believes Dummett shud be anything other than a cheerleader has zero knowledge of footy. Indefensible how he is still in front of younger players.
He offers zero.
Fair play to BDB tonight, was proper good, same goes for Fabian. Krafth is back to being shite unfortunately

Comment #249That score was predictable after 70 mins. Should have been at least 3 up.
You just knew they would pile on with their playmaker Pickford and score a spunky route 1 goal or a corner or one of our useless players gifting them a goal

Comment #250Injuries apart the big miss is Tonali. He might have helped us get ahead of where we are and give Bruno and Isak hope for the future.

Comment #251Own fault for not winning
Played poor tonight yet created loads of chances tried to walk it in to many times score the perfect goal.
Again overplay at the back slows game downshould get the ball up to Isaak a lot quicker made loads of runs but never picked out -sorry once and he scored,
Again thought Longstaff was poor a average 5 at best Willock was awful when he came on Anderson had a decent game
Bruno needs help in mid

Comment #252Harley, it doesn’t matter if we bossed the game or not, we should be putting Everton to bed well before we brought dummet on to ruin the game.
Players from a bygone era need to go from this team. they are a reminder of Brucey boy days or Mclown days, they need to be moved on or released from contracts
Richie Dummet Lascelles Fraser Hnedrick Longstaff Krath Murphy are all lower league/ championship at best
Bruno and isak deserve better than playign with this dross.

Every one of them missing tonight. Show me a team that could cope with that.

Comment #258Why is Dummett and Richie and Hendrick still here. Yes we had little on the bench. But that should have been altered over 30 months.
Who is Dummett getting an extension.??? Richie as well. Good in dressing room? So phook in what.

Comment #262Harley. The point is all our players fit hall and livramento cud score 5 goals each and get left on the bench the next day cause eddie thinks he cant change a winning team or his team will eventually come back to form. Thats totally wrong. If players are not performing they need dropping not left on cause they played well last year.

Comment #263Why was krafth given a new contract when he have trips and livramento. Harrison ashby and even murphy can play rb.

Comment #264We had the chances to win tonight. Goals win games. Considering the number of changes some of the football was good. Isak was minutely offside for Burn’s strike. Pickford was the game’s MotM and he kept them in the match.
For Fulham we will have Gordon back but the team will stay much the same. Bruno, Burn and Isak played well. Krafth and Longstaff not so good.
Disappointing not to win, but some people make some ridiculous comments.

Comment #265I will give Eddie at least another season before writing him off… Not because of the injury crisis or anything like that, because he has not helped that by not using his subs or rotating the squad back when he had the chance. But because he has shown that he can improve us, and I am sure he can improve himself as well.
Regarding the game, I dont blame Kraft, Hall, Anderson or even Dummett. I blame Isak, Barnes and Willock. Those are the main men, and they absolutely wasted chance after chance. Barnes goes from amazing to useless, as he has whenever he has started the games.

Comment #267CH – we did. Alwx Murphy shud be brought on as he can run. Unlike Dummett.

Comment #268DjMick
I’m 100% convinced if those players I mentioned earlier were available. Then Willock, longstaff, Krafth, Dummet etc. don’t get a look in.
I thought Burn was excellent tonight. We don’t see what Howe sees in training.
I’d have Hall over Burn at left back too. But he has to play Dummet as there’s no one else.

Comment #269Willock has struggled since he’s come back in but he can be superb at times.
Hopefully shapes up sharpish.

Comment #270We should of had a pen tho second half or at least looked at when Burn nearly had his shirt ripped off could see the obvious pull when Burn who had a could game tried to make a run
Also where was the bookings for kicking the ball away –

Comment #271The main problem is why the likes of Dummett and ritchie and krafth etc get contract extensions. You can easily get rid and promote youngsters. Unfortunately bringing on dummett today wasnt the wrong decision as he was next available left back but why was he given a new contract in summer. Again it all comes back to a fooked up summer window. Also barnes cant carry ball like gordon and asm

Comment #273I would take 100 mil for Bruno.
That would be good money for a midfielder who might get 3 or 4 goals. Not impressed with shooting. A lot get spooned over bar.

Comment #274Willock looks like he has lost a yard since his injury and that can make a big difference to performance

Comment #275Hall didn’t really look any different to his first couple of games that he played? Just a strange situation why he’s not played this season more when he clearly could contribute
On the ball in the first half he gave us a new dimension with his passing and crosses
Our finishing let us down tonight on another night Isak strokes home for 2 nil and we cruise it

Comment #276@Jmiley
That was always a worry for me when Willock came back would he be the same player? He’s had one good half of football since he’s came back
Same with Joelinton and Tonali for next season we actually have quite a few question marks aviut what kind of players they will be next season
Feel a bit sorry for Schar, Isak, Bruno and Gordon they are doing everything they can to secure European football

Comment #279You do realise that Barnes got an assist tonight?
We were let down by Dummett, deciding to have a wrestle with a player who is not exactly renowned for his aerial ability.
Shocking.

Every player is sellable if the price is right.
100 million is a good price.
I remember we sold Carroll for35 million and everybody was up in arms. The best sale we ever made.
Now all the money will get reinvested in players.
I have no problem with the club selling anybody as long as it all gets reinvested
