Re: Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Match Thread
Could go with Antonio up top, (I am pretty sure he has played as a striker for forest) with Moses, Valencia and Payet behind
Or Valencia up top and Moses Payet and Antonio behind.
Either way there is some pace up front.. Newcastle got roasted by Moses in the home game.

Payet has the magic feet and they're important , Lanzini has the movement , and that's important , but Noble has the heart of a lion and that's the most important thing for me .

I would like to see Valencia up top. As long as we play to his strength by putting balls in behind the back four and work the channels. If we start playing to his feet then we will require a 5 metre retraining order on their defenders so that he can get the ball under control.

Re: Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Match Thread
I agree. I like Kouyate but you can't drop someone who's come into the side and played excellently for 2 games - and been MOTM for many in both, for a player who's recent form has been fairly average at best. It would send out the wrong signal to the rest of the squad. Players need to be patient to get a chance to show us what we've missed - and when they do, then they need to play well enough to make that position theirs again.Brian Fantana wrote:Surely Bilic will not drop Obiang to make way for Kouyate?
I thought if you play well you keep the shirt as Ginger Pele has done to keep Reid from walking straight back into the team..
Would be a big mistake to drop Obiang in my opinion

Re: Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Match Thread
They grew some balls and played well against Manure, but they won't see us like they see the Mancs.
Plus they conceded three to them. Three! To a team that cannot score.
The only player they have that I wouldn't mind in my squad is that Wijnaldum fella. Think he's been excellent.
£12m on Shelvey was a classic panic buy, considering we paid less for Payet. Good player, but not in my opinion a game changer.
Going to say 3-1 to us, because we seem to like that result.

Would love to see Enner running rings round them and cutting the balls back to Jelly who blasts one after the other into the net
Quietly confident IF we turn up.

Re: Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Match Thread
I'm genuinely nervous about tomorrow!
It dawned on me last night....last time I saw us win at SJP was back in 1989 when we relegated them! I've seen us throw away two 2-0 leads in recent years and countless defeats!
Shirley my luck has to change tomorrow! But hey, if we lose Sports Direct are giving away free coats on Facebook!!
I'll go for an edgy 2-1 win!

Re: Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Match Thread
We'll probably soak a lot of their early ambition up and try to hit them on the break. Then when they're knackered we'll pounce and turn the game.
But who knows...
Please not Jellyfish up front, or anywhere near the bench
0 - 2

I think it's safe to say, given our injuries, he will be on the bench at least.kayahammer wrote: Please not Jellyfish up front, or anywhere near the bench
1-2 my prediction.

They only really started to play against Man Utd when they conceded what they felt was an unjust penalty. Wijnaldum on his day is excellent, but he did nothing against us in our home match and can be almost invisible when he's not having a good day. Coluccini was excellent midweek, but he too has a lot of off days. Otherwise they have a lot of very average players and really blow hot and cold this season.

Re: Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Match Thread
Our 2-0 victory against them was the easiest win this season by a mile. It was a formality from start to finish. Not even sure thye had a shot in that game.
It simply cannot be like that again, I expect they will have a go, this is the start of the meaningful run of fixtures which will truly define your season and where only victories really matter, draws don't do much for anyone.

Spotted this earlier on FB….for a bunch of fans who like nothing better than a good old moan about Ashley judging from the comments on the Sports Direct FB page they absolutely love him for this!griff123 wrote:wasnt sure where to post this and not sure if its been posted already, but it made me laugh

There was a good 1-0 win I saw up there with Nolan scoring. Seemed to remember diame having one of his better games too?

Re: Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Match Thread
Was a really good game that, was up there for my brother stag do. I do remember Ben arfa scaring the **** out of me (and our defence) every time he ran at us. Think they had ba up front that day too, but my memory from the game is hazy in patches for obvious reasons.

I'm genuinely scared about tomorrow's game....of freezing me nuts off at the top of the Leazers. I just want West Ham to turn up, can then see a win.

Ditto! But let's face it after last seasons pointless game where the players basically had their towels out on their sunloungers and BFS basically stuck his fingers up at the club it couldn't be any worse....could it?ChikinRun wrote:I'm genuinely scared about tomorrow's game....of freezing me nuts off at the top of the Leazers.

Re: Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Match Thread
I know every game recently has been 'the one we lose as per usual' this gives me that feeling big time
Still, if we lose I might receive a naff jacket from Sports Direct for free.
