Newcastle United 4 - 2 Everton
The perfect start to my temporary role at Newcastle United. We knew Everton were struggling and down towards the bottom of the league table which led us to opt for an attacking stance.
This totally backfired on us as we were 2-0 down after just 12 minutes. Everton switched to E at 1-0 which gave us TA but they doubled their lead against this and they tried to shut up shop by playing D. We switched to P in an attempt to get back into the game.
The game looked to be getting away from us but 3 goals in 8 minutes before half time turned the game on it’s head and we went in at half time leading 3-2.
In the second half, Everton came at us from the 61st minute and I felt like we were hanging on but 5 minutes into stoppage time we added some gloss on the result with a 4th goal from a 4th player to seal the 3 points.
Statistically we were the better team by far so deserved this result. Good game Dave.
PMR from caretaker manager Andy Banks;
”A win is a win, but this one was a real thriller. Our opening tactics in this game backfired on us as we were in a deep hole early on, but the lads showed a lot of character to turn things around late on in the first half.
Once we scored one the game and momentum swung our way and it was over for Everton. They came at us in the second half but we were still the better team and we added another goal late on.
Id previously mentioned that the club hadn’t scored enough so far this season so to score 4 in the first game puts a smile on my face, but this is just a start. We have to keep this form and momentum going into our next game.
Thank you.”
