I hope Oggy back makes us more solid but I think he’ll be rusty

But good to see a bench with some slightly attacking options for a change. Shame Obubeko is not there, after scoring a good hat-trick last week.

Yeoldhammer

I don't think we are the ones that will be doing the pressing. I think like most of our games this season, it will be Newcastle with most of the possession and us playing on the break.

I think it's set up to be solid at the back without Rice and hoping Lingard can create something again, if we are struggling to break them down we do have Benrhama to come on. it's great to have Oggy back but it could be one injury too many with both Cresswell and Masuaku added to Rice and Antonio.

The lads know this is a chance we haven't had for many years so we know they will go for it, they wont be looking for the draw.

Is the pitch unusually narrow as there seem to have been a lot of throw ins?

OutcastLondoner

Very different game to the last few, we’re the teams with the ball and they’re countering. We might need Benrahma unless we get more space behind.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

We're having a lot of the ball which is actually making us less dangerous going forward. Benrahma would be handy here.

Ravel49

Get Benny Boi in that false 9

OutcastLondoner

Saint-Maximin is a constant threat right now.

steve

Should we not be 3 up by now

yoyo

Saint -Maximin looks dangerous every time he runs at us

ASLEFshrugged

First time since Man Utd we've not scored in the first 30 minutes

PrestonHammer

I'm bored by this game.

eskimoking

I know he’s not been up to his old form but this smacks of a Lanzini game for me, he’s our best passer and most likely to find a through ball. Hope he gets some game time.

MrsGrey

Taking a shoe break.

whupathman

Stupid own goal and red card

yoyo

Shoe break The most exciting bit of action in the half!

OldCastleSwift

Well that was a stupid few seconds

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

What a shambles.

whupathman

That’s dumb football

PrestonHammer

We have been awful

MrsGrey

Disappointing.

claretandbluesky

What a shambles

alderz

That was awful from Dawson. His touch was awful, and then to dive in while on a yellow is ridiculous. But what are diop and fab doing?!

Hamstew

Disaster

OutcastLondoner

Terrible

steve

is that our top 4 gone in 20 seconds

Lukerz

To be fair, Dawson was always going to get found out. All these CBs on the pitch is not working.

OldCastleSwift

Ah, the old West Ham are never far away.

ASLEFshrugged

At least we can't go 3-0 up...
