Not our best performance as a team but super win in the circumstances. Did our very best to keep an awful West Ham team in the game but our quality told in the end. Whatever Emery saw that day v Boro in the cup in Morgan Rogers, nobody else saw it but what a player he has developed into. Outstanding. Good day for Emery on the bench again, down four? injured players and still getting an impact off the bench. Lindelof had a solid game in Torres absence too.
Bizot 6 - no mistakes but really weak at set piece time. Distribution isn't bad
Cash 8 - very good again, Summerville is a good player and was well held. Strong in the air too
Konsa 3 - nightmare of a first half gave them two goals and had no idea where Bowen was for the tight offside call in the second half
Lindelof 7 - solid game following up from Thurs night. Not as strong distributing the ball with his left foot but still found Rogers for the third
Maatsen 6 - ok ish, defended ok but mixed enough on the ball, takes wrong options in traffic at times
Onana 4 - poor. We lacked intensity in the middle of the park and he was cruising far too much for my liking. Limited on the ball.
Kamara 6 - played his best football after we went ahead. Dug out a nice pass in the build up to the second but quiet enough apart from that.
McGinn 8 - very good again. Does it all really, cracking delivery for our first, won countless turnovers high up the pitch and ran with the ball really well at times. Contrast to Guessand during the week is huge
Rogers 10 - was very bright in first half when we struggled and outstanding in second with two great goals.
Tielemans 7 - fine assist for Rogers after half time. Struggled to get into it at 10 but better in midfield when he went back there.
Watkins 5 - did make a really good run for the first goal but his hold up play against woeful defenders today was nowhere near good enough.
Malen 6 - started really well with a powerful shot with his first touch. But I'm not sure about him at all when he has to lead the line himself.
Buendia 7 - strong cameo. His touch is razor sharp at the moment, unlucky not to be starting
Digne 7 - solid when he came on too.
