DJ_NUFC Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 What’s interesting is there’s not been much difference between the two sides, except we look lethargic and shaky at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Yeah pitch must be very slippy as the West Ham players seem to be falling over for no reason quite a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 We haven't looked great but there's no need to go overboard. We're playing a decent side away from home, let's see what Rafa can do at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Pellegrini is winning the tactical battle and has the better players. Could finish 3 or 4 nil. Unreal tactics winning a pen and us letting Rice have the freedom of the box. TIL tactics only apply to goals apparently. Considering they’ve done f*** all else I agree. If they'd done fuck all else we'd have a couple ourselves. Defensively they've been sound and they've controlled the whole thing. So I think OP is right.

Rich Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Some of their quality up top is frightening. Felipe Anderson is head and shoulders above anything we have, again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Tell you what they are a pretty good side in all honesty. Sometimes you just play a side on the wrong day. They've outnumbered us everywhere and look fresher. We look out of ideas. Like I say, ring the changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Perez showing his early season form. Muto for him and Ki for Hayden please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 While we always do good against teams that just huff and puff, we get caught out too often with teams who have quality players upfront, Anderson, Snodgrass, Lanzini, and Hernandez are finding it too easy to get and create chances Declan Rice is having an outstanding game too.

Lenny Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Really poor half. No one seems to have any conviction about their play and seem to just be sleepwalking into a defeat. Rondon has had a very poor half, can't seem to hold the ball and when he gets the pass off it's too weak. Manquillo (too predictable and lacking quality offensively) and Hayden (having a poor game) need to come off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 No complaints, deservedly behind. Had a brief spell at 1-0 where we had a bit of time on the ball, but our final pass was hopeless on every occasion. Other than that, we've been unable to cope with their quick passing and they've drawn a load of silly fouls. They're playing well tbh; they're having a good day. No excuses for the woeful defending from set pieces, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 West Ham have been decent. Mostly energy and closing down has totally crushed any rhythm to our play. Frustrating that we've come undone to a corner and giving a penalty away, hope Rafa can see what to change to try and salvage this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 We are losing because we aren’t winning the second balls outside our box. Almiron is charging at the half way line and not coming back for the ball which he should be doing and it’s put us under too much pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Would maybe bring Diame or Ki on for Hayden to try and grab midfield. Hayden putting in the effort but Diame bigger and Ki can retain possession Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest godzilla Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Only player who has managed to consistently get the ball and find a player is Almirón and unfortunately he has hardly had the ball. Rondon has lost the ball and not held it up at all. Need to tri and start the game on the front foot in the second half but to be honest the team is not at the races today.
