Steve McClaren’s verdict on Newcastle’s agonising defeat to Everton

“We are where we are, but we want to have a better second half to the season than we did the first”. Everton had 75 per cent possession and completed 200 passes compared to Newcastle’s 50, before they eased off slightly after 35 minutes.

Cleverley’s decisive intervention came just as it looked as though the Magpies’ determined rearguard action had earned them a point at St James’ Park. When Tom Cleverley headed goalwards from a Rob Ellliot punch, 92 minutes and 50 second had been played.

Kubiak attended Manning’s throwing session Saturday but had viewed the others on video. “That’s what we’re focused on right now”. Thomas was wide open when he dropped a perfectly thrown pass with less than 3 minutes left and the Broncos down 7.

The Swans came into the game winless since 24 October, with their poor run of form leaving them in relegation trouble and prompting the sacking of Garry Monk.

Serbia global Mitrovic announced himself in English football not with goals, but with a series of brushes with the authorities, picking up two yellow cards and one red in his first five appearances for Newcastle, and McClaren and his staff have worked hard to channel his aggression without losing it all together. Goals from McCarthy, Lukaku and Ross Barkley secured the points, while Newcastle’s misery was compounded by a straight red card to Fabricio Coloccini for a poor challenge. The Belgian failed to keep his effort down when the rebound from Ramiro Funes Mori’s header fell towards him. He needs to score more goals.

With tongue in cheek, George Culkin of the Times discusses the lack of Everton’s killer instinct. The Toffees have only won twice since November (against the bottom two clubs Sunderland and Aston Villa), and have only managed to draw away matches to newly-promoted pair Norwich City and Bournemouth.

“We said look at it after 10 to 12 games, but then someone said it’s usually the first 19 and we have two of them to go”. In fact, it’s Newcastle who showed why they are rooted at the wrong end of the table with some great chances and abysmal finishing. “If we carry on like this we’ll start winning games”, said McClaren. Tom Cleverly ran the game. However, with a busy schedule over the next few weeks, Martinez chose to give Lennon and Mirallas a chance to stake a claim on the flanks. Traditionally, Villa struggle on Boxing Day; they have not won on this festive day since 2005, when they beat Everton 4-0 at Villa Park.

The result was harsh on a spirited Newcastle team who responded from a sluggish first-half display to create numerous chances after the break.

“I’ve seen him just go on and on, and he’s done well since leaving Chelsea”. The referee Lee Mason blew for the game to restart and in the same breath blew for the game to finish. There was also the aftermath of what happened last season.
