A tactical disasterclass is partly to blame for this evening’s mishaps, but the players’ performances on the pitch were simply dire.

This evening ultimately summarised the state of West Ham United at the moment. Nuno set out his trembled Hammers in the same tactics as he did against Arsenal, which didn’t work - hindsight is a wonderful thing - but ultimately he let himself down, as did the players.

Newcastle: Pope, Trippier, Hall, Botman, Tonali, Barnes, Thiaw, Osula, Woltemade, Bruno G (C), Ramsey
Subs: Ramsdale, Wissa, Gordon, Elanga, J. Murphy, Willock, Burn, A. Murphy, Neave

West Ham: Hermansen, Wan-Bissaka, Diouf, Mavropanos, Disasi, Todibo, Soucek, Fernandes, Bowen (C), Summerville, Wilson
Subs: Areola, Walker-Peters, Scarles, Kilman, Magassa, Kante, Potts, Taty, Pablo

After gameweek 36’s antics, the penultimate matchweek has arrived upon us, where Nuno’s side will travel up to St. James’ Park to take on Newcastle United, whose season has been topsy-turvy and certainly a disappointment in comparison to last season.

Eddie Howe is currently fighting to keep his job at Newcastle United, which has become a topic of discussion in recent weeks, with the season coming to a close, but the same could also be said about Nuno Espirito Santo, albeit his circumstances are very different.
