Newcastle held to a draw against Everton

Daniel Wales and Jordan Cronin discuss Newcastle United’s 1-1 draw against Everton in the Premier League.

Transcript

00:00 The game itself I thought Newcastle, as you say in the first half, were pretty good. Possibly

00:06 could have killed the game off even then. And even in the second half when they didn't

00:09 perhaps play as well, they still had chances to kill that game off before Everton came

00:13 back into it, which I think is perhaps more the annoying thing than the fact that Everton

00:17 then ultimately did get the draw. You could see they were getting tired though as the

00:22 game wore on and the lack of options off the bench really showed it, as it had been in

00:27 other games. I think Man City at home stands out in that regard. Perhaps is it a criticism

00:33 of Eddie Howe to say that he didn't trust some of the kids on the bench? I know of course

00:38 they're only kids, they're inexperienced, but you see other clubs sometimes turning

00:43 to their younger players. Is it a case where Eddie Howe should have just trusted some of

00:48 his younger players who he's put on the bench and just given them a go to freshen things

00:52 up? Obviously they'll have legs, they'll be young, they'll be eager, but they might lack

00:56 in quality and experience at this moment in time. They'd make up for it with enthusiasm

01:02 and running and that could have perhaps even just got them over the line. I mean obviously

01:07 the moment of madness from Paul Dummer is what it is and no matter how long you don't

01:10 play for, you don't put a WWE move in the box with two minutes or whatever it was on

01:16 the clock left. But yeah, could Eddie Howe have perhaps trusted some of the kids? Even

01:20 Joe White who's made an appearance already this season? No, I think you made a very good

01:24 point. I think you name a bench and if them players aren't good enough to come on in games

01:30 then you shouldn't be naming on the bench in my opinion. So you look at the bench from

01:34 yesterday, obviously you brought on Joe Willock who again struggled to make an impact. I thought

01:40 Joe Willock came on at a time when Newcastle needed to regain some control in midfield.

01:45 They didn't quite manage to do that and I actually thought Joe Willock's introduction

01:49 actually impacted Harvey Barnes. Harvey Barnes wasn't quite as effective when Joe Willock

01:56 came on. I think Joe Willock was eager to get forward too on the left-hand side and

02:01 that control in midfield that Newcastle needed didn't quite arrive. You look at the other

02:07 midfield area, you mentioned Joe White there. I think Joe White, Eddie Howe has praised

02:12 Joe White heavily. He came on against, it was the Bored Mouth game when Joe White came

02:16 on and done really, really well. Made a big impact alongside obviously Mark Ritchie. Eddie

02:24 Howe after that game praised Joe White at the Hill. Said he felt like a new sign in

02:28 him anyways. Really impressed in training, I trust him. But then he's barely been used

02:34 since so I think Joe White probably could have made an impact yesterday. Certainly as

02:38 you mentioned before there, provided some fresh legs and desire and plenty of energy

02:46 as a young lad. I certainly would have been introducing him. I suppose in hindsight I

02:53 don't, I won't criticise Eddie Howe for bringing on Paul Dummer because I thought it was the

02:58 obvious change.
