Newcastle v Everton

We really, really need a result here.. COYB

0-1 late late Dele goal

----

Frank Lampard has revealed Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be in the Everton squad for Tuesday’s Premier League clash at Newcastle United (7.45pm GMT) but the Blues will be without Ben Godfrey for “four or five weeks” with a hamstring injury.

Godfrey sustained a torn hamstring in Saturday’s 4-1 FA Cup fourth-round win over Brentford at Goodison Park – a game Calvert-Lewin missed with a minor knock.

January signings Dele, Donny van de Beek and Anwar El Ghazi are in contention to make their Everton debuts at St James’ Park after being ineligible for the Cup victory.

Everton will be without injured midfield trio Abdoulaye Doucoure (groin), Fabian Delph (thigh) and Tom Davies (hamstring) for Tuesday’s game.

I'm cautiously optimistic, hoping for a 1-0 win. But, my gut feeling is often way off so we'll see.

More than anything, I'm looking forward to the lineup. Really hoping that Rondon starts - obviously considering he used to play there but more importantly, how awesome and dominant he is!

Granted, he's no McFadden as Bubbles would say.

Im hoping the confidence from the Brentford game will carry into this but the back 4 worries the shit out of me and I can see us losing this one (and most games). Very nervy game and defeat would be pretty disastrous. Keeping those fingers, toes, eyes and bollocks crossed that we can at least nab a point

It's more 'must win' for Newcastle then for us, so hopefully they'll crumble under the pressure

COYB !!!!

Expected Beeky or Dele to start instead of Gomes... but after the weekend I guess it's justifiable

we need to win though & it's good to have some quality on the bench

Defence is dodgy again though

...and I guess DCL isn;t quite there yet.... good sub option though

Where's Rondon!? Not even on the bench! We're doomed I tells ya...

Our bench looks stronger than it has in a long time.

Ridiculous that our only left-back isn't good enough to be first choice!

Found this link from Yank's feed against Bretford ... worked well on the weekend so fingers crossed

Mykolenko not on bench.
In the end RB screwed us with the sale of Digne.
It look as though he was right down Lampard's street.

I still cannot understand why the board allowed the sale of Digne when FSW was obviously so close to an exit

We have replaced Nkounkou and Digne with Mykolenko. Absolute madness!

it's going to be interesting (and possibly key) to see how Towsend does tonight.. obv no prob going forward, but what about defending

I can't remember the last time I felt so nervous waiting for a game to start... this is massive for us.... and them

teams are coming out

COYB

aaand here we go..

Shelvey with the first shot... after a ridiculos pass by our defenders
