Dismal Irons ratings from an embarrassing display

West Ham final pre-season game came down to earth with a bump that they failed to win their own sponsor’s cup for the fourth time since its creation.

The Hammers were missing a number of first-team players but that did not excuse an embarrassing display against the Championship side who fully deserved the win.

This evening disappointed Claret and Hugh Associate Editor Sean Whetstone gives out the West Ham player ratings

David Martin   Responsible for at least one goal, didn’t inspire any confidence so let’s hope he isn’t needed this season.   2

Ben Johnson  Awful display by the youngster who had his worst start for Hammers, taken off after a yellow card 1

Ryan Fredericks  Defence was woeful this afternoon and Fredericks did little to make things improve things after he replaced Johnson 3

Issa Diop  A surprise addition after his calf injury but not back to his best form although did enough to stop a sixth Bournemouth goal  4

Angelo Ogbonna Guilty by association in a lacklustre defensive display today 3 

Fabian Balbuena  Came on just after the hour mark but made little difference 3

Aaron Cresswell  Another poor defensive display, didn’t defend enough this afternoon 3

Jarrod Bowen Made two goals out of nothing just before half time to make it 2-2 and gave us a temporary glimpse of hope 7

Arthur Masuaku  See comment on Cresswell, did nothing to steady the leaky display 3

Mark Noble  Huffed and puffed and sprayed lots of balls around to little effect, a poor stand-in for Declan Rice  3

Jack Wilshere  Came on just after the hour mark but was largely anonymous 3

Manuel Lanzini Didn’t look bothered, didn’t look like he wanted to play before pulling up with a knock and replaced  2 

Josh Cullen actually changed the game when he replaced Lanizini and we had our best period. He put in a good shift and tried 6

Pablo Fornals   Put in the effort and was trying his best but with a poor team  around him as his passes and moves came to nothing 5 

Robert  Snodgrass  Good to see him back after a back injury and hard to judge on just 8 minutes. No rating

Michail Antonio  It didn’t happen for Antonio today, he looked tired, he limped after a hockey type tackle but displayed his usual power and strength 5

Felipe Anderson Came on after the hour mark and scored a good goal against Bournemouth matching his feat of the whole of last season  5

Sebastian Haller   Didn’t really break a sweat but equally didn’t get the service, had one good chance which he wasted 4 

 Xande Silva  Good to see the youngster come on late despite the report he is likely to loan out. Saw too little of him  No rating
