Newcastle United lost against Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Monday.
Newcastle United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to Everton manager Sam Allardyce’s critical comments about their style of play.
Allardyce made the comments following Everton’s 1-0 win against Newcastle at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Monday evening.
Theo Walcott’s goal six minutes into the second half proved to be the difference between the Toffees and the Magpies.
After the match, Allardyce, who was in charge of Newcastle from the summer of 2007 until January 2008, criticised Rafael Benitez’s side’s style of football.
The Chronicle quotes the former West Ham United boss as saying: “What was wrong with our style today? We completely dominated the game.
“We were patient, we got the winner. You can’t knock our football. You can knock some of the passing that goes astray, but you can’t knock me for that – I don’t pass the ball.”
Allardyce added: “I think up to 75 minutes we were excellent, and then we had to do too much desperate defending to secure the victory we deserved.
“But we broke down a very stubborn Newcastle defensive unit with all 11 players in their own half, trying to suck you in and hit you on the break, it was difficult to break down their negative tactics but we found a way to do it.”
Over the course of the 90 minutes at Goodison Park on Monday evening, hosts Everton had 57% of the possession, took nine shots of which one was on target, and earned four corners, according to BBC Sport.
Visitors Newcastle had 43% of the possession, took nine shots of which two were on target, and earned six corners, according to BBC Sport.
