Maybe if he'd been a little less shite on the pitch in the minutes he's had, he might get more opportunities. For me, he's too lightweight and lacks the hard work ethic of players like Doug and Kamara, almost looking like he can't be arsed.

To be honest, I think he's rubbish.

A bit of a wanky statement, but he strikes me as one of those players waiting for something to happen rather than making it happen.

An assist for Tielemans in his cameo.

Interesting though that Emery didn't swap Luiz or Kamara for him but put him in as a 10 really. I think he has a lot of impressing to do to get a chance at 6. Two games coming up though.

I also noted this in the post-match thread. I wonder if Emery is reconsidering how to best utilise him.

I think if the Zaniolo shit is real then he would be used in a more advanced role.

Personallly I think he needs to knuckle down, talent isn't his issue

I wouldn’t read too much into the change yesterday, Unai just wanted to stiffen up the midfield a bit.

Looked energetic when he came on.  Only a few minutes, but showed a decent attitude given he would have been disappointed not to get on earlier.

A Hell of a pass to Bailey for the goal.  How frustrating for West Ham defenders, and there were enough of them around, to be centimetres from the ball and be unable to reach it.  Slide rule precision.

It was a cracking little cameo in my view, Zaniolo was knackered and Tielemans seemed to be taking positions which really meant we kept the ball better. More to come from Youri but was pleased with that contribution.

Also thought he gave us just what we needed at just the right time, took up the right positions, kept the ball moving and a fine pass for the goal.

They weren't actual assists, but it was two of his long passes that led to the penalty and the third goal against Palace, then he set Bailey away for his goal yesterday. He looked delighted with Leon's goal as well.

I think he looks much better with both Kamara AND Douglas Luiz behind him...

Not sure he is suited to a central midfield pairing...

I also noticed that, looked well pleased after as he ran over to Bailey.
