So?bad were West Ham, it is probably wise to temper excitement about Newcastle, at least until they string together two 業績／成果s of equal 質.

But one player it is hard not to feel a little giddy about is Allan Saint-Maximin, a winger as lively as a hare and just as hard to catch.

Had they 除去するd the West Ham branding covering the running 跡をつける here then Saint-Maximin would have been your favourite for every sprint distance, even with the ball at his feet. West Ham, by contrast, never got beyond マラソン pace.

Allan Saint-Maximin ran West Ham ragged as Newcastle （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 them 3-2 on Saturday

Saint-Maximin gets 支持者s out of their seat and keeps them on their feet, so adventurous are his 今後s bursts.

Still just 22 years old, the £16million summer 調印 from Nice is without 疑問 the most important player to a Newcastle team still 努力する／競うing for 身元 under Steve Bruce.

He turns defence into attack in a heartbeat and 原因（となる）s 対立 経営者／支配人s to skip a few so terrifying is he in 十分な flow.

'I've said from the first moment I saw him that he is going to get you and excite you and get you off your seat,' said Bruce.

'Unfortunately, he's been 妨害するd with a horrible hamstring 傷害, but if he stays fit and healthy, he has that natural ability that not many people have.

The powerful winger is undoubtedly the most important player in Newcastle's team

'He's quick and it's natural, you cannot coach that, you're either born with it or not. I believe he learned his football on the streets of フラン, and you can see that.

'Now, he just has to 改善する on the final thing, take the final pass, but hopefully that will come in time and with experience because he is only a young boy.'

Bruce makes a valid point, for after seven 外見s he is yet to 得点する／非難する／２０ or 補助装置 a goal. Energy, 意図 and enthusiasm, though, いつかs cannot be quantified by numbers, and that is what he brings.

But what of Newcastle? This felt like a gimme but they took 十分な advantage. Now, they must 証明する 有能な of （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing teams of 類似の standing at St James' Park, where Bournemouth visit on Saturday.

Steve Bruce 推定する／予想するs plenty more dazzling 業績／成果s from Saint-Maximin if he can keep fit

勝利，勝つ that and you 'd say it's been a decent start, another draw or 敗北・負かす and 関心s will resurface, that's just where they're at 権利 now.

There is no such 不確定 over West Ham, they are just 階級 bad on 現在の form and only 長，率いるing in one direction. 'I think it's obvious that 信用／信任 is an 問題／発行する,' said defender Aaron Cresswell.

The same cannot be said of Saint-Maximin.

追加する a few goals to his game and Newcastle might just have 明らかにするd one of the 調印s of the season.
