Crystal Palace 5 West Ham 2: Player Ratings

|

Crystal Palace 5 West Ham 2

Fabianski:4 Awful positioning and completely missed the ball as Palace opened the scoring on 6 mins. Made a good save after half-time.

Coufal:3 Lost Eze for Palace’s second and not much better for the third. Outclassed.

Zouma:2 Awful pass put Antonio in trouble as West Ham went 2-0 down in 15 mins. Nutmegged by Eze before Palace’s FITH goal.

Crystal Palace v West Ham-Zouma

Crystal Palace 5 West Ham 2: Zouma can’t believe what he seeing as The Eagles went 4-0 ahead.

Ogbonna:2 Not equipped to deal with the pace of Palace’s attack. Hooked at half time but it could have been anyone.

Emerson:3 Scored a 3rd for the opposition as West Ham capitulated.

Alvarez:3 Should have made a tackle as The Hammers went 3-0 down after 19 mins. Slightly better in the second half.

Soucek:3 His lack of technique was exposed by a better midfield. Good header set up Antonio.

Ward Prowse:4 Made a wonderful job of turning attacking midfield into a defensive role which unfortunately benefited neither West Ham’s attack or defence. Antonio should have scored from his freekick.

Kudus:3 Gave the ball away for Palace’s 4th. Otherwise uninvolved.

Paqueta:1 Awful. Like playing with ten men.

Antonio:4 Knackered from minute 1 and consistently lost possession and eventually his composure. Missed from 3 yards. Scored to make it 4-1 just before half time.

Substitutes

Johnson:6 45 min sub for Ogbonna. Not a complete disaster which was not something that could be said of most players.

Cresswell:6 45 min sub for Soucek. Played as left centre back as Moyes tried damage limitation

Ings: 74th min for Antonio

Phillips: 74th min for Alvarez

Cornet: 84th min sub for Kudus, nearly scored.

    Let’s hearcl the moyes brigade..SAUL ??? whats the excuse this time mate ..?? Absolutely pathetic….moyes should be sacked right away , so some competent manager can get started this season…although 10 of the squad won’t be there as well …..no point in big speeches…MOYES DID THIS BECAUSE OF HIS DITHERING TRANSFER BUISNESS IN JANUARY……END OF ….THEY ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED…I WONT GO ANYMORE TIL THIS BLOKES GONE ….DISGUSTING ….privileged morons….feel sorry for the fans ….everyone needs to vote by not going to anymore matches……..just disgusting and embarrassing……..they will just go home pick there money up …. and say the same things as excuses as every other week …they should all donate there money to nurses who earn there money with long hours and hard work …these tossers will forget this game by tomorrow

      No excuse; that was abject. But over reactive comments also don’t change anything. The players didn’t perform just as much as the manager and the board aren’t going to sack Moyes now anyway, are they?!

        It’s the managers job to make the players do there job …moyes got lucky with 2 seasons with no injuries and alot of luck on the field …he fuked our season when he actually weakened the squad in January when it had to be strengthened…that in itself is utterly ridiculous..the blokes a stubborn idiot…..jo ge won’t go thus season but 99% of fans wish he would , so at least the new manager can get to know the club..Weyhill finish mid table or just below .so no threat of anything..the season is over ..so why persist with this clown…..thanks for stability and the weak cup ..but you definitely 100% can’t tske us any further..ITS SO OBVIOUS..AND HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS

        • Saul says:

          No it isn’t, it’s the players responsibility to play football and the managers to choose the players and tactics to ensure the team have a chance of winning/drawing a game.

  • Vince says:

    Disgrace and total embarrassment. Why tell us they will be giving everything for the rest of the season and then give us this. Go Moyes. Yes you have got us into Europe in the past, but you have also – in one season! – conceded 6 v Arsenal, 5 v Palace, Fulham and Liverpool, 4 v Newcastle and Villa. That is not acceptable. Worse than that – it should have been a cricket score against us today.

  • Cowhead13 says:

    Liverpool next – piece of cake!!! It will be interesting to see how many West Ham supporters turn up for that.

    Agree with you rip
    Nurses do a fantastic job , angels all of them.
    West ham as a team , pure rubbish , total dross and not worthy of the shirt but tbf they can only play in the way they’re set up and encouraged to perform.
    So sorry but so many reasons though
    Second oldest team
    Probably the smallest team
    Same benign tactics, I e., timed substitutions
    No integration of youth players
    Refusal to reinforce during transfer windows
    Undermining team strength through selling decent players with as stated no replacement
    Taking decisions on players to not recruit who go on to excel elsewhere
    Have no realistic ‘ plan B’ in place
    And let’s not forget seen backroom staff leave , who were well respected without any explanation
    Which stinks of unrest.
    And stifling people like steiden ( hope I’ve spelt that right) to push west ham onwards
    There’s more I could say , but that’s enough for now.
    Sorry for any misspelling
