West Ham vs Newcastle Official Match Thread

[Ibbyham]

Hope we can do better against this lot than last year 5-1 mauling last season which West Ham are completely a different side. It will be as tough as Newcastle are very close to Man City's level so we need to perform at the max and keep our defence tight.

Team News: Only Cresswell injured and Antonio should shake off his minor injury as he wasn't played against Freiburg as a caution. We have a strong fit squad to chose from. Hope some of our players recovered and hopefully no fatigues as it was shown against Sheff Utd. My main worries is Aguerd as he did not cope well against Man City and Liverpool and likely to be the same against Newcastle so if I was Moyes, I would put Mavropanos at the start instead of Aguerd. Formation =-wise I would put 5-3-2 with 3 at the back with 2 wings back which is what Wolves did against Man City to get a result that Moyes failed to do so as he put 4-2-3-1 instead of 5-3-2. Against Newcastle, Moyes will use his usual 4-2-3-1 as I still preferred 5-3-2 against top teams.

Areola

Coufal
Zouma
Mavropanos/Aguerd
Emerson

Alvarez
Soucek

Bowen
JWP
Paqueta

Antonio

Newcastle will be as tough as Man City so we need to contain them and hit on the counter with more clinical finishing like we did against Brighton and Chelsea.

Percentage Chance:

West Ham to win : 10%
Draw: 15%
Losses 75%

Hopefully I proved wrong in % chance but given that Newcastle now doing a Man City but I would give West Ham 30% to 40% chance of a win IF Moyes put 5-3-2 formation than 4-2-3-1.

COYI!!!

Newcastles tempo will be fast and furious. We need to deal with that. We’ll sit deep and hope to catch them in the break as usual. They’re scoring goals for fun at the minute

So we beat Sheffield 2-0, Newcastle beat them 8-0, so my mathematical mind says it's going to be between 4-0 and 6-0 to Newcastle....
Fucking genius

[normannomates]

on current form of both clubs, this match has score- draw written all over it..
BUT, this is WHU and the GEORDIES we're talking about here.

therefore, i predict 5-3 to Moysie's raving Irons.
