United travel to Goodison Park to face Everton in todays Barclays Premier League (4pm kick-off). When the sides met earlier this season United were victorious in a five-goal festive thriller at St. James’ Park, with Papiss Cisse, Ayoze Perez and Jack Colback on target. Papiss Cisse serves the first game of a seven-match suspension but United are boosted by the return of Jack Colback following a two-game ban. French forward Remy Cabella and goalkeeper Rob Elliot also return to the squad after respective knee and thigh complaints, however Haidara (knee) and Mehdi Abeid (thigh) will both miss out.
Everton- Midfielder Gareth Barry will not be involved as he begins a two-match ban. Defender John Stones is expected to be fit following illness, while on-loan winger Aaron Lennon is available again after being ineligible for the Toffees’ Europa League tie. Left-back Leighton Baines faes a late fitness test on a thigh injury but Aiden McGeady (knee), Steven Pienaar (knee), Bryan Oviedo (hamstring) and Tony Hibbert (knee) are all ruled out.
Newcastle United Krul; Janmaat, Coloccini (c), Williamson, R.Taylor; Colback, Sissoko; Obertan, Gouffran, Ameobi; Rivière.
Subs Elliot, Satka, Anita, Gutierrez, Cabella, Armstrong, Perez.
Everton Howard, Baines, Jagielka (c), Alcaraz, Coleman, McCarthy, Gibson, Lennon, Osman, Kone, Lukaku
Subs Joel, Naismith, Besic, Atsu, Barkley, Stones, Garbutt
Howay the Lads
Game over

Riviere’s not worth 1 million let alone 6 million. Carr deserves to be questioned.
Terry(Quote)
Can we still get dragged back into the relegation mire ?
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
wow straight RED
it just gets better and better
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Pathetic really, Everton have been total **** this season and especially so after playing in Europe. And now they’re bossing us.
Carver’s really come in and improved on the bloke who was holding us back hasn’t he…
Newkie(Quote)
Could our performances any more laughable.
What an absolute joke of a club we are.
Lost all passion and desire. Lost all pride.
Just an embarrassment.
JJ(Quote)
Top quality leadership this from the captain (loosely termed) and the coach.
To think this is what we have to look forward to next season.
Who’s out next few games against?
Stuart79(Quote)
Sammi starts every game when fit. It’s safe to assume that he will get a contract extension because he is one of our best players ?
Wtf is it with Gouffron ?
Fancy 4-0 Everton here. The commentators are shooting there cocoa over Everton the biased tossers…
Collo…what a knacker !
Munich Mag(Quote)
😆 😆 😆 And now we lose our captain, not gonna be winning many more games this season. 🙄
kimtoon(Quote)
Does JC REALLY believe that the team are playing for him ?
Munich Mag(Quote)
So we are down to one centre back at the club! Oh and that’s Williamson!!! **** me I am laughing because it so pathetically predictable.
Still good idea to send Santon on loan and Mbiwa to Roma… 😳
Stuart79(Quote)
Newkie,
Pardew was *****, but there is a reason why he left on his own accord too.
Front line is terrible. Defense is worse. No chance of signing new players.
JJ(Quote)
Stu, Derby games gonna be interesting now
kimtoon(Quote)
Isn’t that the third foul by Coleman ? Is there perhaps a chance of him being booked ?
Munich Mag(Quote)
Can’t wait for the derby
should be a cracker
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Carver just ****** off, you clueless muppet, Sammi was naff but taking him off instead of Gouffron just shows how clueless you are.
Colo would not be surprised if he said stuff this, I am gonna get sent off – thats 3 weeks away
ash1001(Quote)
Willo will be shitting himself without Colo to cover his **** in next couple of games
kimtoon(Quote)
We will be lucky to get one point from our next four games.
Stuart79(Quote)
Stu, to be honest Willo hasn’t done too badly the last few weeks.
Him and Gouffron were both thirty bob players…
Munich Mag(Quote)
we should bring Gouffron off, we’re better off with 9 men !
Munich Mag(Quote)
Williamson hasn’t done too bad recently? Compared to what?
Stuart79(Quote)
our goal difference is going to take an absolute battering over these next few games.
why on earth did Gouffron grab Lukaku by the arm there, the bloke will get sent off !
Munich Mag(Quote)
@96 compared to the competition for his place. What do you think ? 😕
Munich Mag(Quote)
Everton really aren’t great shakes either. We’re making them look like Barcelona 👿
Munich Mag(Quote)
Not sure. Maybe a cardboard cut out could move a little quicker.
Stuart79(Quote)
JJ – He is ***** but he is at least a football manager. Carver is showing why no team has ever placed any faith in his hands (oh, apologies Toronto), let alone a club in the most lucrative league in the world.
Pardew had a number of reasons for leaving i’m sure. But those who said nobody could be worse than him are being proven for fools now imo. Not sure why people are surprised really.
Newkie(Quote)
Willo should get MotM today.
says it all about the other 9
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
We should be called the ragbag army because this team’s even worse than the year we got relegated.
Terry(Quote)
But those who said nobody could be worse than him are being proven for fools now imo.
Name one person that said that.
waiting
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Newks, I don’t consider JC a guy you can judge compared to Pards, Pards has had a stack of managerial jobs before us, where as Carver hasn’t. He’s clearly a number two and no fan would of put him in charge, though I’ll concede we should of seen it coming. Still think a better manager and a few less injuries we’d do better.
kimtoon(Quote)
well that was two great chances there great feet from Perez and we had noone in the box, and a poor first touch from Cabella.
Munich Mag(Quote)
That the club in their infinite wisdom have replaced a fool with an idiot is NOT the fault of the fans.
What most of us want is a decent manager with a football brain.
Is it really too much to ask for
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Why are people disappointed? How can a squad so anorexic as ours expect anything else? The club is run for the balance sheet, not the football team. It’s been going on Long enough now for people to get it through their heads.
Stuart79(Quote)
I surely didn’t say we couldn’t find worse than Pardew and don’t remember anyone that has said that.
Terry(Quote)
BB – Coaches who have good football brains tend to cost more than what we will pay. Unfortuantely that’s Ashley Modus Oparandi. We needed an experienced MD when Lambias left but we promoted the secretary and the same is happening with Carver.
Stuart79(Quote)
i take it carver learnt nothing from sir bobby,fkin clueless ****,taking sammie off and not goofy 🙄
hitman(Quote)
Toon Toon Rag Bag Army!
Terry(Quote)
BB – If you honestly never read anyone saying that on the chron or on Ed’s or heard anyone in person say that then I am surprised.
A pretty defensive stance you are taking there sonny, relax, so relax, I won’t claim it about you 😀 . I don’t keep dossiers on who said what,but ToonBano who wrote a couple of articles on here, I’m certain he at least expressed that exacts statement, so there’s a name if it makes you happy. I’m sure more people have said it, up to them if they want to stick to their guns on it though.
Newkie(Quote)
Dear God
kimtoon(Quote)
Newkie@101, could you name anyone who said nobody could be worse than Pardew ? 🙄 🙄
Munich Mag(Quote)
Kim – of course we’d do better with a better manager. But Carver was always going to be the replacement. I’m just praying to everyfucking deity going he’s just the short term option, that;s about as good as it will get.
Newkie(Quote)
Newks, Nah, he wasn’t mate, the name most quoted was JFK again. 😆
kimtoon(Quote)
Perezmust start the next match, no more of this “resting” bullshit. We don’t have anything to recover from ffs.
Time to drink and forget this shower
Newkie(Quote)
**** off just **** off
kimtoon(Quote)
It’s a good job for Jabba’s sake this season the bottom three are so pathetic or we’d be right in the ****!
Stuart79(Quote)
Pardew’s getting results at Palace because he has better players to work FACT. An owner that actually cares and support’s his manager to the best of there ability FACT. We buy cheap Rag Bag players and Carver.
Terry(Quote)
Thank **** that’s over 👿
kimtoon(Quote)
well the wheels are coming off BIG TIME at the zombie club…
Thank goodness we have the points on the board.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Well we won’t beat Arsenal and that means Palace will likely over take us 🙄
kimtoon(Quote)
Carver could win the title with the Rag Bag Army next season.
Terry(Quote)
Thank God that’s over!
Six pointer against Sunderland then…
Stuart79(Quote)
Stuart79@108, what are you blathering on about mate ?
You’re the one with the season ticket, the rest of us have known this for yonks, that’s why Fatty gets none of our spondoolicks 😳 😳
Welcome to the real world 😆 😆
Munich Mag(Quote)
My moneys on Sunderland next week, pain’s me to say it.
Terry(Quote)
Excellent team selection by Carver, guaranteed to get the job now, TOP MAN. team played with skill all over the park, well drilled, strong up front, brilliant at the back – – – – – – – – – – then I woke up.
ash1001(Quote)
we looked like the team who’d played in Europe, leggy with rash challenges 🙄
kimtoon(Quote)
It’s death by a thousand cuts lads. And it’s going to get worse. Colo is out for a few now and although he’s not great he’s all we have thanks to you know who. Pathetic. Boring. Deadly dull. We had no attack to speak of against a side that just played on Thursday.
GeordieTwo(Quote)
arsenal next 😯 reet twonking on the cards.
hitman(Quote)
What’s Carver’s winning percentage now? It’s under 20% certainly. Good enough to get the full time position is it Mike? Brilliant. Carry on you fool.
GeordieTwo(Quote)
If we had been awarded our stonewall penalty in the first 10 minutes the game could have been completely difference.
Small margins win games, and that was a blatant penalty I’m afraid. It could have also been a red card, but to miss it completely was a shocking refereeing decision.
The ref was pretty enthusiastic to award Everton a penalty though when Lennon was running AWAY from the goal and clashed shoulders with the pathetically insipid Gouffron.. 👿 👿
Munich Mag(Quote)
Colo just flown out of John Lennon airport enroute to Heathrow the onwards to Argentine, good organisation .
ash1001(Quote)
too many poor players all passing the buck.
Munich Mag(Quote)
The point is that the regime will be at home tonight and will be happy as Larry. We’re not going down and because we won’t go down they will still be happy with their decision to not buy a striker and a centre half, let Mbiwa and Santon go in January and not apointing a new coach when we needed one. They care nothing for the club. They just talk about long term, long term long term! There ain’t a long term if you don’t get the short term right and the fact they will feel vindicated will say it all. Never mind the misery inflicted on the supporters once again!
Stuart79(Quote)
Looks like Janmaat and Timmy have also hoyed the towel in…
Munich Mag(Quote)
Stuart79@137, I might be wrong mate, but I’m pretty sure the regime WON’T be as happy as Larry.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Its not as if Everton were good, they were just about average for a team in the lower bottom half, god knows what that makes us.
We had nothing to offer up front at all, no strength, never mind skill, and we have Sammi saying “Carver deserves the job”., yeh for sure Sammi.
ash1001(Quote)
Certainly Sissoko will leave in the summer. What decent player would want to put up with this? Clowns from top to bottom for a management group. Put on the rubber nose and dance in the streets Ashley. It’s where you belong.
GeordieTwo(Quote)
G2 I am glad we lost today because every position lost is money not going in Mikey’s pocket.
Terry(Quote)
Boycott time lads or forget ever having a decent club to support again. Don’t you feel the life being sucked out of you ST holders? Walk away now. Empty the ground for the remaining home games. Ashley has to go.
GeordieTwo(Quote)
Arsenal and Sunderland will get an easy 3 points from us.
Terry(Quote)
Well, I suppose the one good thing to come out of the whole series of reamings which we are about to receive is that the knackers running our club really cannot appoint Carver ? A combination of a poor coach, managing lethargic and poor players not up to the task is a receipe for disaster. Surely Charnley should also be looking over his shoulder for championing this mediocracy at a business worth 150 million pounds ? 👿 👿
Munich Mag(Quote)
Munich Mag, not just poor players, start at the top Ashley and his cronies could not give a damm, and I will include all in officialdom at the club, there’s not one of them in total that are worth 10% of any supporter that spent good money going to Liverpool today.
They are all laughing at the fans
ash1001(Quote)
Well we are truly up against it now and Carver and Pardew before him are to blame. We should have been blooding younsters ealier instead we keep on using the same players over and over again knowing they are going to fail. I am not saying we should have been starting younsters but we have failed to bring them on as late subs. Surely Roberts must be better than Obertan. Thank you Pardew for getting rid of Mbwia now that Colo is going to be missing. Time to take risks with some of the reserves because the present lot are getting us nowhere.
Groucho(Quote)
It’s a pathetic mess Terry. I want Mike’s nose rubbed in it as well. The only way to get him out is a full scale boycott. Anything else he will just ignore and pocket the cash. The city has to come together to get rid of him.
GeordieTwo(Quote)
G2@141, you’re dead right there, and the tragic thing is that not one single fan will blame him because through all the ***** he has put a shift in at least…
Munich Mag(Quote)
Gouffran was a joke today. As was Riviere and Obertan. Get them out of the club. We’ll need huge changes in the summer just to be a mediocre side. It’s not going to happen and I would hate us to just continue to be rubbish. Ashley out. Nothing else matters now.
