David Moyes couldn’t hide his frustration after Everton managed to throw away a 2-1 lead against Bournemouth. You could see it all over his face; he was fuming.

Everton actually seemed pretty settled after Iliman Ndiaye scored that first-half penalty. They weren’t exactly sparkling, but they had the game in their hands. Then, just eight minutes after halftime, everything unravelled. The chance to climb up to sixth in the table? Gone. Their wild European dream? Looking shaky.

Twice, they let Bournemouth score easy headers: first, Rayan, their £25 million January signing, and then Amine Adli. Things went from bad to worse when Jake O’Brien got himself sent off for dragging down Adli as he broke free.

Moyes didn’t feel like talking much. His press conference barely lasted three minutes. He just sighed and pointed out a couple of golden opportunities they wasted: Thierno Barry missed from close range, then Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s shot got headed over by James Hill.

“We probably missed a couple of good chances to get the second goal, so we only have ourselves to blame,” he said. “The players are doing a great job here; we just didn’t have quite enough tonight.”

Asked about O’Brien’s red card, Moyes just shrugged it off. “No opinion on it, no opinion on referees anymore.”

This was Everton’s fifth defeat at Hill Dickinson Stadium. They’ve only won four times there, and just once since November 8. Moyes wasn’t interested in digging into what’s going wrong at their new ground. “We’re playing good teams in the Premier League. Bournemouth are a good team.”

On the other side, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola didn’t pretend they’d played well. “I’m happy with the result,” he said, “but honestly, it wasn’t our best performance. That’s football, though. We played better against Villa and only got a point. Today, a draw probably would’ve been fair, but we found a way.”

He pointed to the set-piece goal as the difference. “It’s important for us. Everton is one of the best defensive teams, so scoring like that and winning that felt good.”

Eddie Howe didn’t mince words on Monday; he said he’d walk away from Newcastle if he stopped believing he was the right guy for the job.

Maybe Thomas Frank should take a hint. Still, with Tottenham now facing a 12-day break before the north London derby against Arsenal on February 22, he might just hang on for a bit longer.

Newcastle did the damage with goals from Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey, one in each half. Archie Grey had managed to equalise for Spurs, but the South Stand still filled the air with chants for fan-favourite Mauricio Pochettino.

The home crowd had clearly had enough. They called for Frank’s head all night. Honestly, it’s time for Tottenham to put Frank out of his misery. The Europa League winners desperately need a change before they get sucked into the relegation battle.

Tottenham haven’t won a Premier League game in 20,26 not a single one. That’s eight matches without a victory. Watching them lately, you can’t say they’re too good or too big to go down.

Newcastle had only picked up two wins from their previous 15 away games in the league, but this one felt over from the start.

Frank looked like a beaten man, trudging off the pitch in the rain. Whatever comes next, it’s wild that he didn’t get real support in the January transfer window.

Spurs went into this game missing 11 first-team players, 10 injured, plus their captain, Cristian Romero, suspended. Now they’ve also lost Wilson Odobert to what looked like a nasty knee problem.

You could see the nerves right away. Anthony Elanga’s early corner bounced off Radu Dragusin’s knee and just missed the bar. Not long after, Guglielmo Vicario flapped at a high ball he should’ve caught, and the boos started.

The pain didn’t end there. Newcastle piled on nine corners in the first 30 minutes. Tottenham, outside of a weak penalty shout from Dominic Solanke, spent most of the first half pinned inside their own half. Pape Matar Sarr even picked up a yellow for diving, just to make matters worse.

Joe Willock thought he’d opened the scoring, but VAR ruled it out for offside. That didn’t save Sp.urs Newcastle went ahead soon after. Thiaw met Willock’s cross, Vicario saved the header, but Thiaw pounced on the rebound while Tottenham’s defenders just pointed fingers at each other.

Spurs survived an early storm in the second half. Elanga had two penalty shouts turned away, then Archie Grey put Tottenham level—Xavi Simons floated a corner to the back post, Sarr nodded it across, and Grey finished it off.

But hope didn’t last. Seconds after Conor Gallagher blew a golden counter-attack, Ramsey restored Newcastle’s lead with a smooth finish, thanks to some slick work from Anthony Gordon.

Tottenham never looked like they had the quality or belief to come back, even though Micky van de Ven had a golden chance to steal a point right at the end and blasted it over.

Here’s a wild stat: in the last 14 months, Tottenham have won more games in Europe (12 out of 18) than they have in the Premier League (11 out of 49).

At this point, it would be astonishing if Vinai Venkatesham didn’t make a change. Who’d want to take on this mess, though? That’s anyone’s guess.
