On a trip to Newcastle, Everton lost 3 major pillars including Richarlison, Lucas Digne and especially James Rodriguez. Additionally, No. 1 goalkeeper Pickford was suddenly removed from the starting list. Earlier, he told reporters, coach Ancelotti said he had considered giving Pickford a break because he was overloaded, but according to some experts, the main cause was in the goalkeeper’s form.

Remember in 4/5 previous Premier League matches Everton conceded 2 goals even when using the best defense so there is nothing to blame on the goalkeeper. Robin Olsen, a 30-year-old goalkeeper on loan from Everton from Roma this season, appeared in the wooden frame.
Replacing Digne in defense was Jonjoe Kenny, a right-back born in 1997 and trained by Everton himself. While in the left-back position, coach Ancelotti introduced Niels Nkounkou, a 20-year-old star who has just joined the team in the 2020 summer transfer window under a free transfer from Marseille.

Without James Rodriguez and Richarlison, of course, Everton’s hope in attack leaned heavily on forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has performed in great form since the start of this season (10 goals in all competitions). Below the English striker are two defenders Andre Gomes and Sigurdsson.
In midfield, Fabian Delph had the opportunity to join two familiar faces, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan. In it, Doucoure promises to be a formidable mystery factor because the midfielder, though inclined to defend, can rise as a high-level attacking midfielder thanks to his ability to create and score goals.
In fact, Newcastle have shown that they are not a comfortable opponent for Everton. The home team got on well, somewhat overwhelmed by the Merseyside team. The first dangerous chance of the match also came for the home team when, in the 8th minute, rookie forward Callum Wilson rushed into Everton’s 16m50 area to catch the ball and swing his foot to hit the crossbar into a narrow corner.
As expected, Everton (green jersey) struggled against Newcastle, partly due to lack of strength |
After halfway through the first half, although completely under control of the ball, Newcastle still guaranteed maximum safety for Darlow’s goal. In fact, Everton’s attacking power declined when they lost Richarlison and especially James Rodriguez. The threatening post made by visitors was soon hatched by the Newcastle owner.
Exactly in the first half, the number of Everton shots is .. 1 but that is calculated for itself, but the objective evaluation should be the standard 0. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Olsen sometimes has to show his talent, as the situation in minute 31 he had to run very fast to reduce the danger of Saint-Maximin’s goal.
