Head coach Nuno now surely has his best starting eleven cemented in his mind and has finally coaxed the Hammers to give of their best and perform like a team again.<\/p>\n<p>Freddie Potts \u2013 the man whom Graham Potter did not think was ready be thrust into the heat of a relegation battle and needed to be protected \u2013 rightly won the man of the match award on his full debut. Both Mateus Fernandes and Lucas Paquet\u00e1 alongside Potts put in huge performances.<\/p>\n<p>Nuno will feel quite rightly elated that everything clicked today \u2013 and his very public demand that Paquet\u00e1 step up produced such an instant, palpable response from the Brazilian.<\/p>\n<p>    Most Read on West Ham News<\/p>\n<p>Nuno\u2019s public demand for \u2018more\u2019 produced an instant response<\/p>\n<p>Just on Friday, West Ham\u2019s head coach called him out in the pre-match conference:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need Lucas..Being a \u2018ten\u2019 is more than a number, in my view: Being a \u2018ten\u2019 is a symbol. Being the \u2018ten\u2019 and this is what we need from Lucas \u2013 the best of him to really help his team mates, because the team-mates trust him a lot and they know that there\u2019s much more for him to give us, the talent that he has\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the Brazilian responded. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/223898\/lucas-paqueta-shines-in-west-ham-win-vs-newcastle\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">football-talk.co.uk<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeculation surrounding Paquet\u00e1\u2019s future continues to swirl, yet his display against Newcastle hardly reflected that of a player seeking an exit. The 28-year-old reignited West Ham\u2019s momentum with a superb long-range effort, marking his first goal from open play since January.<\/p>\n<p>He also finished the game with an impressive 77 touches and 15 passes in the final third. It was no surprise Nuno kept him on for the full duration, as he played a key role off the ball \u2014 winning seven duels, making three tackles, and recovering possession four times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of Lucas Paquet\u00e1\u2019s best games in a West Ham shirt. His head coach just needs to find a way to get a repeat performance every week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Ham\u2019s rejuvenation this afternoon was, hopefully, a step down the long road to Premier League recovery.
