Jinxed him…and Dennis had a big game.
He needs someone closer to him to interchange passing with.
He won long headers and Newcastle never won the second ball. He played one twos on the occasions they linked with him.
With Saint Maximin the park he can drag defenders.
Maybe he needs to be more aggressive with delivery, but he didn’t get much in his neighborhood in the box.
His best moments were when he linked play swiftly with one touch or won headers, but so often Newcastle then retained possession, even played back to the keeper, rather than finding a shooting chance. And when Murphy or Willock shot row Z was threatened. As with the Nix and Piscopo, Ball and company, they need the puzzle to be complete to make it happen. It may be Wood partially, but if you see Kane’s performance today, Son is looking for his run and playing the ball for him, knowing that’s what he’s going to do.
The Newcastle defense stood up well, the attack found it tough going. To be fair, West Ham has muzzled a fair few attacks this year and Newcastle did well to return the favour for Bowen and co.
