I do not come on here as often as in th elastic but Liverpool win and no comments from LP.

Is he taking a well earned rest or has he decided to leave following a poor set of results. Hope it is the former.

From reading some of his other posts, I think he has more important things going on

To be fair his father is poorly. As you're not on here a lot you weren't to know

Thanks for letting me know. So sorry to hear that and hope things improve for him

How did that VAR review take so long?????

Clear touch on the ball...only needed replaying two or three times....but over 4 minutes to make decision is madness.

Perry Groves, on Talksport, initially said no way VAR would overturn it, it was a stone wall penalty. Then he saw a replay from another angle, that indicated there was probably a touch. Yet he still felt it was a penalty.

I didnt see it, was driving home. But it seems even the expert ex footballer was convincing himself of a different opinion. I can see why VAR struggles sometimes

Likewise. I was a little surprised he was so quiet. Despite differences of opinion he's not been one to disappear when his team are failing and getting stick. Hope things improve for him and his loved ones.

That equaliser was on the cards. Newcastle's midfield three just arent in the game.

Need to get through to half time and regroup.

He's a plank

That answers that question.

Eddie Howe needs to give his players a good kick up the backside...simply haven't been at the races for the majority of that half.

 

[irip]

I totally understand why the ref gave it.
This is exactly what VAR should be used for though.
It should just take 1 minute though

VAR is garbage it struggled to send Onnana off for grabbing Macallister by the throat yesterday.
That was a stonewall red last season has the rule changed and it’s now ok?
It’s not fit for purpose.

Can only see West Ham scoring again here...Soucek odds on to get one...always seem to score against us.

Cant see any sense of a plan as to how we are going to create chances....too many mis controlled balls, loose passes, awful delivery into the box and an utter lack of ideas....just throw wide players at the issue and see what happens.

Goalkeeper who has had barely anything to do goes down with cramp.

West Ham deserved the win. Wanted it more, had a better plan. The sooner we get Lewis Hall back at left back the better we will be as an attacking force. Burn is neither a proper left back, nor is he an attacking winger. Hall works so well with Gordon down the left he has been a huge miss....likewise Livramento down the right.

Newcastle looking devoid of ideas and misfiring in quite a few matches this season....I think Eddie Howe needs to do a lot of hard work on the training ground to identify where things are going wrong. Even in the games Newcastle have won they havent been overly convincing...I can hear knives sharpening from the chattering masses on social media.

Oh yeah...told you Soucek would score!!

 

[Swango1980]

I know Haaland is great, but he seems to be getting oceans of space in this game. I reckon he could score 5 if the trend continues

 

[Billysboots]

Where would Man City be this season without Haaland?

And why can't Pope catch a ball.

 

[Fade and Die]

Well that was some win today, totally unexpected but well deserved. Really good effort by everyone, and hopefully Nuno sticks with that lineup now.

Was surprised how poor Newcastle were, especially Pope who looked nervous throughout.

First home win since February and it’s Burnley at home next week so a chance to get a run going!

Glad to see they've sacked Periera.....absolutely devastated to see who's favourite to replace him.
Gary O'Neil, the guy we sacked to bring Vitor in, with a worse win percentage than him, and a significantly weaker squad than the one he couldn't get the best out of when he was here before.

We're still paying him, so it'll be the easy option for the owners.

Probably having the same problem Spurs do without Kane

It was well deserved...you can point to how poor Newcastle were but I think that would take something away from West Ham who looked organised and committed. It was almost as though when we went 1-0 up that the players thought it was job done, West Hams confidence would collapse and Newcastle would stroll to victory. Football aint like that.

Howe's substitutions were a bit odd though....I think he got a lot of things wrong after half time.
