Match day thread - NUFC v West Ham

[originallad]

Carroll coming on.

[originallad]

Can see them nicking this.

[The Deluded Pablo Diego Jose Francisco]

That was a poor game of football.

We've been walking around the pitch for the last 15mins of the game not even bothering to play football.

[Toondes]

s****. We didn’t want to win that.

[Donkey Toon]

Meh, probably fair result, neither side did enough to deserve 3 points there.

[originallad]

Still unbeaten but you could tell there was far less urgency with us which was disappointing.

[Sir Bobby]

Disappointing not to get three points but we didn’t deserve them

[Don Sholeone]

Felt like a no risks approach to the end of that, frustrating but with the quick turn around of games probably sensible, draw is a good result still, probably could have taken all 3 but probably wasn't worth it all things considered. We looked tired, wouldn't mind us just resting players for city and take the beating and come back fresh next weekend.

[Toondes]

I’ve noticed Gayles body language is s***. Looks upset when he scores and looked suicidal when Shelvey scored today

[biggeordiedave]

Mathematically safe if Liverpool beat Villa

[Micky Quim]

s*** football, s*** F1. s*** day. But at least I haven't s*** my pants

s*** football, s*** F1. s*** day. But at least I haven't s*** my pants

Got to savour the small victories!

[Tsi]

We'd have won if we had a banner

[originallad]

I'm happy with the F1 result today

[beatski]

can't complain about a point, given how the game went. plus we're unbeaten in 6. Bowen looked good today too, should have signed him when we had the chance.

[UlversToon]

Mathematically safe if Liverpool beat Villa

2-0 Liverpool!

[bodacious benny]

2 wins, 2 draws, 10 goals since the restart and safe with 5 games to play - I won’t moan, I’m delighted with that. West Ham showed v Chelsea that they have some decent players and are capable. Draw was fair today and we showed great character to come from behind twice. It wasn’t so long ago that you knew it we went behind we’d lose, great to see that fight twice.

This. Was impressed with Kraft today he may be suspect defensively at times and not necessary the fastest of full-backs but he was very solid today and showed his attacking quality with his crossing and energetic runs down the wing. Good to see Miggy bagging one and getting into those forward positions his confidence has risen and he looks more of a goal scoring threat now. I say we give players like ASM, Hayden / Jonjo, Lascelles / Fernandez and Manquillo a rest as I don't see us getting nothing from the City game so I'll go with this :

Duba
Kraft Lascelles Schar Rose
S.Longstaff* Bentaleb
Lazaro Miggy Joelinton
Gayle

*If he's still out injured then start Jonjo.

[bodacious benny]

I’d definitely rotate v City as there’s no way we’re getting anything from that. Definitely give ASM and Miggy a rest, start Carroll, Schar needs a start else he’ll start to get itchy feet - I’d bring him in for Lascelles. Rose back at LB too.

[Toondes]

Southampton are doing ok at the minute. It’s not a dead cert we’ll lose unless Bruce sets us up the same as last time
