I thought our front four were atrocious, Son's finishes for hie two goals aside. Their movement off the ball when we had it was lazy, their pressing and work without the ball when West Ham had it was insipid and I lost count of the opportunities fucked away with sloppy carelessness - Alli and Eriksen particularly - both Son's goals actually started with Eriksen and Alli hitting passes straight at West Ham players.
Wanyama was Ok first half but looked more ragged as the game wore on, but he needs games, we all know that. Be nice to see him play next weekend in a CM3.
Winks showed some really nice things again, had a little fadie patch though first part of the second half.
KWP struggled with the physicality of Antonio a couple of times, and was otherwise just OK, but again, we can't judge a kid who gets to play 1 game every 6 months on those odd appearances.
Aurier wasn't any better than KWP, but again he's a player who's not had consistent games and wasn't playing in his best position, so judgement is pointless.
Sanchez was excellent again. My MOTM.
Foyth - wasn't far behind Sanchez, just blotted his copy book with one atrocious moment where he seemed to have things under control then inexplicably allowed their player to shove him aside and bare down on goal. Edit - having watched it again today (dodgy stream last night) it wasn’t a blunder, also caught some other stuff he did - brilliant tackle on Arnautavic. Definitely worthy joint MOTM.
Gazzaniga - Couple of sloppy moments, otherwise OK.
Nice to see Skipp get some minutes.
