Odd to see defenders still mistaking Suarez's propensity for diving as a lack of strength

Skrtel causing us problems with his constant fouls on Fletcher

From Andy in Newcastle via text: "It's Ba's loss. He's going to a smaller club, mainly for more money, which is sad. Still, as an NUFC fan, I'm grateful for his positive contribution and wish him well."

Debatable. Defending well, but Everton are getting the majority of chances. It looks a bit like a siege mentality sometimes.
Turned it on after Liverpool paused and they've absolutely bossed it. Everton sitting off. They'll probably score when Liverpool resumes though, blue cunts.

Dowd's the one causing problems there really, giving everything to Fletcher. Still, one would hope that Skrtel and Agger realise this and just back off somewhat.

This has been sooooo similar to the Norwich game. Been shit but 2 goals have come from punts over the top of our back 4. And we've missed probably the 3 best chances of the game otherwise. Oh well.

The thing is though, Skrtel's doing it when Fletcher has no support. They're the challenges you make when you've been caught out of position and risk conceding if you don't immediately foul them, but he;s been doing it when there's been himself and Agger between Fletcher and the goal, and 3 midfielders & 35 yards between Fletcher and any teammates

edit: damn

Suarez controlled the ball before he reached your back four. Was just defensive naivety thinking he could be muscled off it.

But if they back off then it gives the other players more chances to score. It's a catch 22.

Yep. Carlton Cole had the exact same trick. He backs into the defender, doesn't jump and then goes down.

Ahhh for fucks sake. fuck off Everton
 
Newcastle 1-1 Everton

I feel like Krul could have done better but that was a great free kick nonetheless.

Baines to <insert rich club> next week.
