How did he do?
Not much he could do tbf I won't judge him on yesterday's performance
He had a few touches which hinted at him having a bit more ability on the ball than some of the Everton fans suggested, but it was difficult to form any opinion in terms of his attacking qualities as the service to him was non-existent. I've no idea what role Paterson was supposed to be playing, but it certainly didn't work.Quote:

It would be unfair to judge him until he's three or four matches in, I'd say.
Run around and we'll try and kick the ball to your head and hope for the best?Quote:

Midfield was woeful. Niasse doesn't have the physique to mix it with the big boys and was easily kept off the ball for Newcastle's first. He should have been on the bench and not a starter. Everton will be glad they got rid. Niasse may get a few, but, on yesterday's performance he is Gary markII. I do hope i'm wrong.Quote:

If we play him up top with Sala and actually try to attack rather than play hoof ball we might have a chance.
I wouldn't hold my breath though.
I'm hoping having Niasse and Sala on the pitch at the same time will be the missing piece.
One of them to link play from Camarasa and the wingers and create chances.
I'm probably hoping for too much.
Reid and Sala might do the trick, linking up with Gunnars/Arter/Camarasa. Anything that is more creative, intensive, attack minded and effective.Quote:

Let's see what Sala has to offer.Quote:

I’m sure you must have been one of those irritating loudmouths that have sat behind me at numerous games in the past. There is nothing in your posts in this thread that suggests you know anything about the game
Not the way we play no but he likes to run beyond the defence in space, I'm sure he was the only one yesterday who actually took the ball down from a hoof ball then hoillet took it and instead of passing back to Reid who actually made sure to go in to space to support him he decided to run down a blind alley against 2 players and guess what he lost the ballQuote:

Warnock will expect much more of him than that defensively, but he hasn’t played much football so we should give him a break.
Not a great start though. :-(
He tracked Schar all the way to our box but couldn't get close enough to put in a challenge without fouling him, it was the defence standing off that led to that goal, you can't criticise a striker who's not played for god knows how long for allowing their centre half to pass the ball into the net form the edge of the box!Quote:

I agree Naisse was working hard to try to get to him but it was difficult as he was behind the player and couldn’t get round him. I was more concerned that Hoilett put down the red carpet when he reached the box and showed him inside.Quote:

Bring him down before he gets near the box.
Naive comment of the day award.
Quite.
I've seen enough to suggest physically Reid can be intimidated, however he is skilful and quick ,didn't he lay that ball back very neatly for Camarasa's goal against Leicester,perhaps he's not playing in the right position.Quote:
