West Ham 2 - 0 Newcastle United - 14/09/15 - Post-match reaction from page 40


Recommended Posts

Very disappointing. No point in having that much of the ball if the two players that are going to be on it most have such little penetration. I genuinely think Coloccini has a better range than Colback. Sissoko or Wijnaldum has to be moved there, ASAP.

 

Good to see us trying to control the game but we really need to work on it. We did get into some good positions with some interchanges but far too often played shite final balls etc. Players obviously aren't the most confident and they were sometimes snatching in quicker passing moves.

 

It's genuinely difficult to break teams down like that when they're deep and really well organised but we shot ourselves in the foot with some pathetic defending and gave away too much space to them on the break - probably down to a lack of physicality.

 

New lads are still trying to adapt. Wijnaldum's a quality footballer but he was caught out by the pace a bit, Thauvin seemed a bit awe-struck by it all.

 

Perez & de Jong to start the next game. Sack Colback off, please, he was useless again.

Haidara was shite, not sure what he offers tbh. Certainly not an improvement on Santon. Anita and Colback are both wank as well, especially the former. Thauvain looked poor. Sissoko just makes me laugh, as if he has the nerve to whore himself about in the press after a move to a better side as well. Worst of the bunch was Cisse though, not interested one little bit. Dreadful.

Really fucking depressing isn't it?

 

The sort of result/performance that makes you think Newcastle should quit while they're behind :lol: hopefully another international break is around the corner :laugh:

 

Honestly making me struggle to remember a time when this club used to make me happy. Just anger now :lol:

We can't score, can't defend - the most dangerous combo around.

 

We're so slow, predictable and lack any dynamism with the ball. Transitions are slow, we can't get in behind the defence and we don't even have set pieces to bail us out. Another 10 hours and we still wouldn't have scored.

 

Huge changes are needed for Watford, which is already a must win. Drop Cisse, drop Sissoko and play Perez and De Jong, who looked good after coming on.

 

We're in trouble.

Neville talking a bit of sense, we have a real problem in central midfield. It's not working.

Compelling argument; tbf it is an argument that has been echoing around in here all season. Solution showed itself tonight: SDJ at 10; Perez at LF (or RAa at LF & AP at CF) GW at CM.

I would try Tiote and Wijnaldum in there tbh, so sick of Anita and Colback offering nothing at all.

the two are a terrible pairing but when they brought up the passing thing it seems (to me anyway) more instruction from the manager than the players being incapable of passing forward

What about passing out of play? Colback is excellent at that
