Newcastle United 0-2 West Ham United (25/11/24)

[Skeletor]

How did we go from Isak silkily chipping Fabianski at the beginning of the game to slicing shots from close range?

[High Five o]

Deserved.

Shambolic performance today. Not sure what’s going on as we have no consistency.

 

Hate ball

Howe out.

Shambolic performance, one step forward two steps back.

Isak’s been so bad tonight. 

 

Didn't deserve his display after all

[Jordan]

Where the fuck are people playing? They’re all just running around like kids. 

[nufc123]

Not scoring is criminal.

Our right wing is absolutely criminal.

Infuriating that it has been for years, and our weakest point, and we haven’t done anything about it.

We had players worth close to 200m on the bench for this. Easy to talk about PSR and all that. 

And. A 20m goalkeeper not even in the squad.

Honestly what the hell are we doing

Played really well for the first 15 minutes, then they scored and PTSD set in. Small margins, another day it's us 2-0 up.

[Conjo]

How many crosses is that from Murphy now?

[Keggy_Keagal]

Howe got the first lot of changes wrong where he pushed Joelinton back onto the right and went to the two in midfield with a fading Gordon partnering Isak. As good as Barnes is as a countering attacking player he hardly commits people or takes people on when we're in possession. Meant we were outnumbered in the centre of the park and couldn't get a grip of things to enable us to push on. Then if you're bringing on Jacob Murphy at 0-2 you're totally out of ideas and fucked basically.

At least there's no more international breaks for a good while.

 

Killed us that break, we had some rhythm building.

He should pay back everyone who donated 

[timeEd32]

Kelly disastrous. Gordon, Willock, Bruno, Schar, Murphy, Barnes, and Tonali all poor. Isak moody.

[Andy]

The most annoying thing about tonight has been the complete lack of appetite and desire in the second half. We've never looked for one minute like we've wanted the result as much as West Ham. 

 

 

Absolutely pointless putting on performances like Arsenal if you're going to follow it up in your next home game with this.

[soyt]

We look like a desperate relegation fodder whos manager is just about to get the sack. Where the hell did this performance came from? They just gave up.

[SiLvOR]

I think it hurts even more because I expect we were all really excited for this after the (yes, repeating myself) fucking pointless international break. To be met with the same issues pre Chelsea LC fixture is a bit concerning, to say the least. Fucking hell this sport, man.

What are you lot expecting from Kelly?

He's our fifth choice centre half after Schar, Botman, Lascelles and Krafth.

He's been far from our worst performer tonight.

 

Always need a whipping boy.

 

Will be the same people that have been complaining about Burn all season too.

[Keggy_Keagal]

If we get the Penalty it's a different game and I fancied us to go and win it .

Kelly has been shit. But how are we pinning this all on Burn being missing? It’s been the usual shit in the final third. No quality and wasteful when it matters. Bruno, Gordon and Isak (albeit with not great service) have all been miles below their levels. 
 

Joelinton goes off and from the minute we went to 4-4-2 it’s been a mess. They should have scored more this half. 
 

Yet another game where we look good for 45-60 mins say. Then completely run out of steam. 

Aye Howe's changes killed us tbh. Paqueta completely took over the game after.

[pubteam]

Really angry at the performance today. The never look like scoring feel has returned.

[Fezzle]

Few wanks knocked out tonight here mind. Enjoy your first game in a month

Isak’s been so bad tonight. 

 

He looked really frustrated after that incorrect VAR check and missing a penalty in his game for Sweden, I feel the frustration probably came again after the offside goal at the start.
