4 4/10s, a number of 6s and one 7/10 – Participant rankings from Newcastle 0-2 West Ham

A serious setback for Newcastle United that kills momentum we had been constructing as West Ham got here away 2-0 winners at St James’ Park on Monday night time. Right here’s our marks out of 10 and feedback on every participant concerned:

Nick Pope – 6 – Didn’t have a lot to do, however wasn’t protected nicely sufficient by his defence for both objective.

Tino Livramento – 6.5 – Sturdy runs ahead from Tino and battled nicely. A great one-vs-one defender and nice athlete, though his crossing was very combined.

Fabian Schar – 5 – Tried to get us on the entrance foot with passes from deep, however a number of had been wayward and gifted again to West Ham. Lower a pissed off determine as the sport went on.

Lloyd Kelly – 4 – Misplaced his man for the primary objective, the place he was crushed simply by Soucek. Did nicely within the first half in his bodily battle with Antonio, however didn’t shut down nicely sufficient for Wan-Bissaka’s strike to make it 2-0 and was later booked for a visit on Bowen. Dan Burn will stroll again into the facet on Saturday.

Lewis Corridor – 7 – Continued his type from his England call-up and was one of the best of a nasty bunch tonight. Good work charge for the total again who didn’t let his head drop. A artistic risk within the first half, however

Sean Longstaff – 5 – Didn’t get into the sport and was free in possession. It’s winnable residence video games like these towards a low block the place his lack of high quality stands out.

Bruno Guimaraes– 5.5 – Bruno pulled the strings within the first half with good passing and imaginative and prescient, however was certainly one of a number of who simply by no means bought going within the second 45. Misplaced the ball within the construct as much as Wan-Bissaka’s objective and was pressured off with a hip concern.

Joe Willock – 4 – Actually struggled within the first half, the place nothing appeared to return off for him. Poor passing and may’ve accomplished higher with an fringe of the field opening that he couldn’t get heading in the right direction. Taken off on the break.

Joelinton – 6 – All-action first half the place he was all around the pitch, successful the ball again and driving us ahead, however was very quiet within the second half earlier than Murphy took his place on the precise. Brilliantly bodily, restricted technically.

Anthony Gordon – 4 –  A very poor night from final season’s star man, who simply doesn’t look the identical participant this time period. Tried to press early on, however lacked conviction on the ball and missed a giant likelihood to make it 1-1 within the first half.

Alexander Isak – 5 – Made a energetic begin however was restricted to little high quality service after that. Even so, he didn’t provide sufficient and didn’t ship after that sensible pre-match show from Wor Flags.

SUB

Harvey Barnes – 5 – Modified the sport in our 4-3 win on this fixture final season however barely beat his man as soon as right here. A forgettable 45-minute cameo.

Sandro Tonali – 5 – Tried to get us going however not a lot got here off. Passing was a bit rushed and slack.

Callum Wilson – 5.5 – Good to see Wilson again, who was alive within the field and unfortunate to not win what appeared like a transparent penalty. Apart from that, starved of service and barely bought a kick.

Jacob Murphy – 4 – Provided little or no from the bench and struggled to do the fundamentals, by no means thoughts change the sport.

Tripper – N/A – Changed the injured Bruno for the previous few minutes.
