That was my worry

The defending for that 2nd goal, dear oh dear

Gordon needs to be more clinical with his finishing, that’s the one thing stopping him from going to the next level at the moment.

Classic Newcastle really 😂

Yeah this game is made for him really

Really disjointed so far

😂

Wilson gives us so many more options attacking wise too

haha no way

He’d cost a fortune at the moment and in Jan. Still can’t get how things can be that tight this Jan PSR wise given the summer window Will add if we can bring in a proper RW it could propel us to champions league

Which is exactly why you can never take anything for granted. Bowen is a match winner on his day.

Having listened to various West Ham previews it seems their main concern is in midfield and defence. A fairly pedestrian midfield which will struggle against our power and athleticism and a pretty porous defence against Isak. If we start well I think we’ll be fine but with Isak in form and recent confidence from wins we should have enough against them.

Wilson is out right?

Agree a lot depends on what happens with Osula but I’d bet on them getting a Wilson replacement and keeping Osula as the 3rd option too for the start of next season. Ofcourse Isak’s future changes everything assuming we didn’t qualify for Europe.

The irony wiht Wilson is IF he actually gets back fit for the second half of the season he could contribute to us finishing top four. Not a cat in hells chance he gets a contract next year tho, shouldn’t do anyway.

Paqueta has been dogshit recently by all accounts. Might raise his game against us but gone completely AWOL.

Their midfield sounds like the major issue. Slow and out of form.

Yeah other than pace I’m not sure what he really offers

Yeah Brighton are playing well

I actually like the way Slot comes across though. I’m not saying I want pool to win the league but up until now I’m far more accepting of them as a team. Hes got far more grace and decorum about him as a manger so far but it’ll be interesting to see if he loses it at all as the race cracks up. I do think Liverpool have a massive chance for the league now as they have the attacking threat and the control in defence and midfield. Slot seems to have calmed them down a lot in some ways.

They were piss poor yesterday but then Arsenal were really on it and that force Elanga and CHO back on the wings. I think you’ll probably see Forest drop off second half of the season.

Yeah it’s ridiculous

John Gibson summed it up perfectly when he said on a recent podcast that the PSR farce is a double whammy because it handicaps who you can bring in and ultimately can force you to sell your best players. Add to that the fact teams are also forced to sell young prospects often local lads of pure profit. There is absolutely no reason why we should be able to go on and spend money given there’s zero chance of us going out of business and there surely has to be some change eventually? Whole situation is an absolute joke.

West Ham fans not at all confident on KUMB. Sounds like issues all over the pitch from defence to attack.

Didn’t it come out that we only made a few bids and therefore maybe didn’t keep trying as long as Palace/some would have us believe.
