West Ham United 0-1 Newcastle United - 10/03/25

[toontownman]

Big result. Could be massive. 

 

Subs looked more knackered than those that did 90!

 

No injuries hopefully and no one sent off. Still given ourselves a chance at Europe. Bigger nights to come but hopefully this weekend is our biggest and best performance of the season so far.

 

 

[Sibierski]

Don’t know what the fuck Wilson does in training to keep getting minutes, but if it’s because he’s playing against Burn / Schar / Kfrath as CBs, then that’s a mess  

[Pilko]

Horrid game where basically all the pre-takeover lads who featured looked absolutely shit  Schar, Wilson, Willock, Sean and particularly Murphy - chronically bad. Huge result though and keeps us touch-tight in the European race.

 

Encouragingly for next weekend I thought Trippier was back to a good level there, Tonali bang at it, Bruno with an improved showing and a goal, Barnes looking sharp, Burn his usual solid self. Pope sharp off his line a few times and a morale boosting clean sheet.

 

Isak was either not fit or holding himself back for next weekend, not sure, but fingers crossed he and the others are all unscathed for next weekend.

 

West Ham are absolutely nowt, Potter just throwing on attackers into a shapeless muddle like a certain S Bruce used to. Still can't believe we lost to them earlier this season, if Bowen isn't dragging them out of the clarts they've got nothing at all.

Great win but doesn’t make me much more confident for the final. 

[TK-421]

Bit hard work at times, but main thing is the 3pts, up to joint 5th, and we (hopefully) came through it unscathed in terms of injuries, ahead of Sunday!

Absolutely tragic game of football that, would want my Sky Money back if I where a neutral.

 

That said, a clean sheet and 3 points away from home, and it shouldn't be understated how important that victory is, not only does it arrest our worrying Premier League form, but it gets confidence into the team, and defense going into next week. West Ham where so poor, I can't remember a more comfortable 1-0 win from the point we scored, they had nothing. 

 

Tonali and Barnes my two players of the match.

We won on MNF - it's our time

[Gallowgate Toon]

That's a tough, tough tie to negotiate. Excellent win with the weekend's context.

Bossed it!

[Ronaldo]

Ooooh huge 3 points. Couldn’t care less about the performance.

West Ham tends to gift us an easy 3 points, even when we don't seem to want them. Trippier motm probably...?

Difficult to pick a stand out player with that performance.

 

Probably Bruno as the goalscorer.

[andycap]

I'm still not understanding what Wilson does for our team. He misplaces passes doesn't make runs doesn't run about.

Murphy has surely played his way out of team with that performance. Absolutely liftin. 

I hate slagging our players, especially after a win but Murphy is a complete waste of a strip.  He's a certainty to score at the final like.

The team doesn't look confident with the ball at all.

 

Maybe the win will deceive them though

[Rafalove]

Feel like the decisions went our way but we’ll take it.

[joeyt]

 the absolute state of Wilson, Willock and Longstaff when they came on 

 

Win and a clean sheet before our biggest game. Howay the lads

I do want us to play well at some point mind. 

[Hanshithispantz]

It's okay doomposters, there's still 6 days left to fantasise about Slot teabagging Howe on the pitch after a Scouse masterclass.

If Murphy scores on Sunday will be a fluke goal off his arse

Massive three points. Genuinely one of the worst games of football I've ever watched. 

It was bad. But you must have a short memory. Some of the Allardyce stuff was disgusting and regularly far worse than that.
 

The Fulham 1-0 away when Barton scored a pen late on probably the worst offender.

Could've been 0 -8 if Barnes had put them away. 

Relentless.

On a serious note those subs could have cost us the game.

Harvey Barnes and pulling it out of the fire against West Ham, name a better duo
