Krul - 7 - Didn't have much to do, but was very good at claiming crosses. Good save for that offside effort from Cole I think it was.

Simpson - 4 - Dogshit with a few decent tackles added to the mix. Didn't get close to their winger or fullback all game, absolutely everything West Ham did came from Simpson's area of the pitch. Lost possession constantly too.

Coloccini - 6 - Decent performance, though he looked a bit weak and easily turned by his man when the ball came in over the top. Shades of his first season in the Premiership.

Williamson - 7 - Good in the air, decent all round.

Enrique - 8 - West Ham got absolutely nothing out of him for the entire game. Good going forward.

Barton - 7 - Not a right winger, and left Simpson a bit exposed at times. But given that he was played out of position, he did pretty well for us. Quality assist too.

Nolan - 6 - Decent goal, very little else and looked really slow. During the warmup however, he was the only one tucking his chances away competently, so no suprise to see him score.

Tiote - 8 - Another excellent performance, though with two or three sloppy touches. So quick to close players down, and so effective at getting the block in.

Jonas - 8 - Frustrating crossing/shooting, but he is just a fantastic outlet for us. It's class seeing him marked so tightly, yet still bringing us forward at will almost.

Ameobi - 3 - Dogshit. Can't believe how lazy and complacent he was off the ball today. Doesn't get lower than 3 because of a few handy interceptions.

Carroll - 7 - Caused them problems all day long. There were some absolutely blatant pushes on him that a ref with bollocks would have awarded a penalty or two for. Needs to sort his balance, positioning and runs out though.

 

Didn't see anyone being brought on so no idea who the subs were.

 

Out of interest, what were the West Ham fans throwing after our second goal went in? Bunch of dickheads that lot in the corner were.

Thought Ameobi was decent today tbf, all round he had a better game than Carroll.  Kept the ball well and didn't lose it too often.

Didn't see Ameobi hold the ball up for Barton to cross for the winner then? Shola had a good game IMO.

Did anyone else think it was liking watching West Ham tv watching sky tonight? Andy Gray fook me! It's been obvious for years that he hates the Toon but tonight! Not to worry though as it makes the win and performance all the better.

 

Them fags are always the same tbh, its not how well the toon play but how bad the other team are playing...c***s.

 

Eh?

When Joey Barton crossed for the second, they couldn't praise the quality of it enough.  West Ham were dire, and the commentators rightfully pulled them up for it. There was no anti-Newcastle agenda anywhere.

Difficult to assess the performance, because West Ham were unbelievably shit in the second half. It felt like we were back in the Championship.

 

Tiote really looks a brilliant buy. He held things together when we were poor, and then did a great job of protecting the defence on the few occasions that we were under pressure. Loads of energy and not afraid of taking responsibility.

 

Jonas did well too. He's a very useful outlet.

 

We still have a problem at RB.

Great win, they were shit though.

 

Krul - 6

Simpson - 7

Williamson - 6

Colo - 7

Barton - 8

Nolan - 7

Tiote - 8 - MOTM, awesome. Revolutionised the side.

Jonas - 7

Carroll - 7

Shola - 7

 

We should look at Obinna for the right wing/up front if they go down, he was dangerous all game and has genuine class.

 

That banter right down in the corner next to their fans was hilarious. One guy got dragged out with his jeans round his ankles, and by accident or on purpose shoved into a women steward in their bit and knocked her into a wall, their fans kicked off and there was a scrummage to get at the bloke which saw about 3 of them flying down the stairs, all the time we were taking the piss and they reacted by throwing lighters and coins over. Provided a good few minutes of entertainment.

Ryan Taylor must be wondering what he has to do to get a start. A s*** James Perch, an unfit Danny Simpson, goals, assists, going round and kissing Nolan's and Carroll's arse after the Range Rover incident...

 

Learning to defend could be a start.
