West Ham v Newcastle Utd

Bad decision making and game management. Pope hoofing it off a goal kick in 94th min. Seriously like? We seen it out anyway. He looked shaky whole game and you could see west ham target him with the press.
Pope or dubs fir Sunday?
 
We won't play against any teams as poor as West Ham were tonight in the final 10 games. Keeps the season going, just. I still worry for us come Sunday, it could be a worse than last visit.
 
I think it's bad management if Dubravka doesnt start on Sunday, mainly because he hadn't done anything wrong to be dropped.

Pope has gone from being our best shot stopper to one now that surely must cause the defence anxiety.
 
Pope looks very shaky, his confidence has gone.
Isak did little and Murphy even less
Defence looked a mess at times but got away with it as West Ham offered nothing up front.
Final will expose them if they put in that type of performance
 
I would put Burn back in at left back on Sunday and play Krafth and Schar central. Yeah I know Burn isn't a natural left back - but neither is Tino. Remember how we used to win games with Burn in there? All that aside great 3 points last night. Pope is still shite.
 

A nice gesture from a West Ham site regarding the injured player after his car crash.​


Classy Newcastle fans join in West Ham’s Antonio chant​

That class was matched by their fans in the crowd to
West Ham supporters serenaded the striker with chants of ‘Antonio, Antonio, Antonioooo’.
It was arguably the loudest and most passionate the home support got all evening.
But the moment was made extra special as Newcastle’s 3,000 plus travelling contingent not only joined in the applause but the Antonio chant too.
It was a real touch of class which showed some things really are bigger than football rivalry.
Most opposition fans might join in the applause.
However, to join in the chant too really does sum up salt-of-the-earth Newcastle supporters.
Credit where it is due to them for a classy gesture.
And it may just have many Hammers fans rooting for them in that cup final this weekend.
Proper fans and a proper club – just like West Ham.
