Newcastle (home)

Hennessey 8 Made some fantastic saves, good handling, one excellent punch. Good kicking. New contract please.

PVA 9 MOM Defended really well, showed good pace, excellent passing. Got up to support Zaha and (whisper it) slung in a couple of fantastic crosses. Chalk and cheese comparing his footballing ability with that of Schlupp's.
Tomkins 6 Defended ok, although looked more comfortable alongside Sakho. Will have to see their goal again.
Kelly 5 He was ok, although turned like a tank once or twice. Have no idea why he started ahead of Sakho, but doesn't matter now.
TFM 6 Don't know what to make of him. Diving in more than ever before; did he have too much sugar before the game?! He defended ok when he didn't try to win sliding tackles every 2 mins, and was comfortable in possession. One good cross that Zaha should have buried. So much better in possession than Ward, a massive bonus when chasing the game like we were in the 2nd half. He's raw. He's 21. I'd like us to sign him up because he's going to be a fantastic player, but he is far from the finished article at the moment.

McArthur 6 I'd give him 4 for his first half showing and 8 for his second half efforts. Not at all comfortable playing wide left, and much better in a 3 man centre mid.
Milivojevic 6 He had an average game. Not awful, not great. Poor penalty even though he scored.
Cabaye 6 His set pieces got better as the game went on, perhaps encouraged by how dodgy their keeper looked. Very poor in first half, a lot better in the 2nd.
Townsend 6 He chugged away down the right, putting in maximum effort. Would like to see more quality from him hence it is not a 7

Benteke 7 No goals, should have done better with one or two chances, but worked so hard. And he was such a handful for them.
Zaha 7 A bit better from him. Some quality dribbling, some good crosses, and tracked back to good effect too. Linking up nicely with PVA.

Sub:

Sakho 7 The skipper is back, and looked calm and assured. We passed it so much better when he came on.

Hodgson deserves big credit for the formation change. I think Sakho coming on was also part of it though, as we could pass through midfield. That is our best defence imho, and it's nice that we were finally able to see it. A point in the circumstances is not a disaster - more important not to lose. A good performance in the 2nd half, and very unlucky not to win. We move on.

Gave it to Wayne. 1 - because he was the only one that played well for the full 90 and 2 - because he gets so much stick he deserves it.

Macca the best of the rest although PVA not far behind.

PVA for me, consistent throughout. McArthur close second as excellent in second half after an average first.

Hennessey - Very good first half, nothing to do in the second

Zaha - Shite in front of goal, brilliant everywhere else.

Benteke - Just smash it please. 2/3 will end up in the stands but every now and then you might get a goal.

PvA - Another really good performance (best player of 2018 possibly). Would have loved if his tackle/driving forward run resulted in a goal

Think PVA had a better overall match as Macca was invisible with the rest of our midfield first half.

Wayne wins it for me as well as he was the reason we even had a shot to get the points

PVA easy mom for me, only he and Hennessy were good for 90 minutes

McArthur superb in the second half

Benteke good hold up, but he couldn't score in a brothel

Wilf , 3 glorious chances but no goal

TFM, please re instate Joel asap

Frustrating game as we conceded from some shocking defending and missed a hatful of very good chances

Between Hennessey and PVA for me... given it to the former as he made a number of good saves to keep it 1-0 at HT and give us a fighting chance.

Still not quite sure how we failed to win that with the second half dominance we enjoyed...

I think I probably enjoyed Merino's inept sub appearance more than any individual on our team, though!

And initially I thought Darlo was unlucky with the penalty but on replay it was another poor one, and he should have saved it

Was he the 23 who fell over every time the ball went near him?

Seemed like one of those days and not helped by a poor first half and a dreadful ref. In the end stopping a Newcastle win was a good thing.

Hen 8 MoM - kept us in the game in both halves.
TFM 6 - poor in first half, better in second.
PvA 7 - good attacking display.
Tomkins 5 - worse game in months, helped in 2nd half by Sahko.
Kelly 5 - poor, shame abt injury as he gives 100%
McArther 6 - poor in first, good in second half.
Cabaye 6 - same as JM
Luka 6 - struggled as JM and YC gave him little help in first half.
Andros 6 - worked hard, not much impact.
Benteke 7 - won loads of balls, but no luck in front of goal.
Wilf 7 - strong second half.

subs
Mama 7 - Tightened up the defence. Became the ball playing defender as Tomkins was out of form.

Strange performance - they were there for the taking as West Ham were but we lack quality in the final third. We were crying out for some new forward players this window but we'll have to go with what we've got and hope it's enough to scrape through.

Wish roy would do away with the rigid 4-4-2 as we look so much better with McArthur in the middle and Wilf wide.

Also just need to hope that the new striker can take Benteke's place as the latter just doesn't do anywhere near enough. He misses sitters and should be burying at least two of those chances.

Hennessey - 7 - played well. Very good save in the second half.
TFM - 4 - comically bad.
PvA - 7 - played very well. Consistent in both halves.
Tomkins - 6 - looked more assured alongside Sakho.
Kelly - 5 - too passive and poor in possession.

Luka - 6 - drove us forward second half. Just squeezed the penalty in.
Cabaye - 5 - probably lucky to get a 5. Looks a shadow of the player from the first half of the season. Awful shooting and awful set pieces apart from one good one.
McArthur - 7 - brilliant second half from him. Should be played centrally in a three. He's not a left sided midfielder.

Townsend - 5 - lacks quality and never does enough as an attacking force. One trick pony and tries to cut back on his left far too much.
Wilf - 6 - a bit selfish at times and missed some good chances. But delivered the cross of the match at the end but Benteke fluffed it.

Benteke - 5 - some good hold up play mixed with sheer incompetence when presented with great opportunities. He never looks like scoring. Hoping the new guy can replace him as I think Benteke needs a spell on the bench.

Subs
Sakho - 6 - very assured and notable how good he is at keeping the ball and starting attacks with his accurate passing.

Roy - 6 - got it wrong with his formation but at least changed it. Not sure why he didn't bring Sorloth on when it was clear Benteke was not delivering.
