Hughie hands out his marks
Fabianski: Four very fine saves in an excellent performance. If only he would get rid of the ball quicker 8
Coufal: Not the same player as we saw last season. Gave a little more going forward that Johnson and provided the assist for the goal but looked lost on the ball at times 5+
Zouma: Quality stuff at the back and always keeps it simple – good to see him back 7
Cresswell: Defended well and did his best to get forward but was part of a slow slow counter attacking display 7
Fredericks: Some very ordinary sideways and backward passing – little else 3
Rice: Outstanding. Brilliant defensively and did his best to step up the tempo. 9
Noble: Decent performance from Mr West Ham particularly defensively 7
Fornals: Bits and pieces performance. When he’s good he’s very good – today no more than average 5
Lanzini: Left to mark the scorers of first first and second goals; and had no chance given his size. Some neat passing but he has to be held responsible 4
Benrahma: Worked hard but sadly again couldn’t find the magic we are waiting for 6
Bowen: Grabbed his 16th goal of the season and gave a very lively performance 8
Subs:
Antonio: Arrived late – never really got into it 4
Soucek: Late arrival No rating
Yarmolenko: As above
Benrahma…………….
Waste of space
Waste of time
Waste of money
Waste of a shirt
GET RID A.S.A.P
Fabianski 8? Rooted to the spot for the first Arsenal goal and should have easily saved the second. Distribution was, as always, appalling. 4/10 at the very most.
plus four brilliant saves
