How we rated the Irons

ClaretandHugh’s ratings man Niall McDonald hands out the marks after today’s game.

Adrian: Another day when he had no chance with the goals but his distribution left much to be desired 4

Reid: Strongest of the three centre-backs today. Went off after being elbowed by Aguero 6

Ogbonna: Sky blamed Kouyate for the second but Ogbonna was also left in no-mans land 5

Collins: Stretched to his limits in the first-half 4

Masuaku: Walked the tightrope after a very early yellow card 5

Antonio: Had a wry smile when I saw him directing Byram to watch a runner but, again, pushed forward he arrived at the far post to get us our goal 7

Tore: Had a shocker and was rightly hauled off at the break. A real curate’s egg this one – very obviously Bilic’s man, yet showed next to nothing so far 2

Noble: Played a lovely cross-field ball in the first-half and led by example throughout 6

Kouyate: Joint responsibility for the second which heaped pressure on us. His stamina showed again in the final 15 mins 5

Valencia: Said it before but surely this is the last time we see him in the claret and blue…? 3

Fletcher: All credit to the young lad – joined the long, long list of Hammers strikers who were left to feed on scraps but stuck at it 5

Subs Byram: Should have been on from the start. Must be against Watford 7

Lanzini: Understandably rusty on his return; still showed some neat touches 5

Calleri: Another with undoubted quality who looks short of matches… 4
