Shukes Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Easiest of the season. Rooney. Brilliant finish along with the other two. But also controlled the game for two thirds of the match. Kenny, Siggy, Pickford, DCL and Cuco played well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Rooney but at last there’s 6 or 7 worthy of a mention... actually all 11 starters deserve a bit of praise - I actually enjoyed being there tonight! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 🔟 Rooney 9 Davies; Kenny 8 Sigurdssen, Pickford 7 Lennon, Holgate, Williams 6 DCL, Cuco 4 Gana Based on a 6 meaning you've done your job in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Rooney was brilliant first half dictated play fell off slightly the second half but a few did but he pulled a rabbit out of the hat and got the hat trick Kenny had a great game very dogged performance and got stuck in with some great challenges Sigurdsson will come good given the right platform the lad oozes class on the ball he just needs to outlets and space to utilise his strengths, decent game Davis did well some good one two's but he's massively let down by his lack of pace I don't think I've seen a lad of his build be so slow, if he had pace he'd be frightening Holgate was solid I've wanted to see the lad to be given a run of games in his natural position for a while so hopefully his time is here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ive accidently voted for Lennon! was meant to vote rooney, not sure how ive done that but hey ho, he can have a vote. Actually thought Lennon did alright tbf! But Rooney was great last night although I think its over looked a lot - he gives the ball away a lot. Still great game for him and some goal for the third, my head fell clean off when that hit the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggytop Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 It has to be Rooney, but I was really impressed with Holgate, seemed like he won every header, something we've not been doing all season. Kenny really strong performance from a young guy leaning his profession, made the second goal with his determination. DCL put the defenders under pressure all night, won the penalty and forced the error for the third. Unlucky he didn't get his shot past Lennon. Siggy, looked like he is starting to find his confidence, a few nice flicks and deft touches, good delivery for the 4th. Pickford looked full of confidence, and made what may be a season changing penalty save ( my Hammers mate certainly thinks it's a season changer for them 🤔 Shame eh) Rest of team all good bar Cuco, I just can't see any skill in him, he went into some easy looking tackles and lost out many times, looked like he was kicking the ball with both feet at the same time , ackward and clumsy doesn't do him justice.

A lot of player ratings for the match seem to blend him in with the rest of the squad but he wasn't good yesterday. People have had enough time to judge him now and I think it's safe to say he's not a signing that is going to help us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea predictive. He over ran the ball and lost it towards our corner flag. West ham then applied the pressure. It's down as a successful pass but he was facing forward, shit out and then over dribbled it to the side. Then passed his teammate into danger. Pen is conceded 16 seconds later.

So outside the 10 yard line he completed 3 forward passes, and this was probably his best game. Bet you moaned about fat Sam and raved about Sandro.

But then Tom Davies you give a 9 to, who only made half the amount of passes Gana made but gave away nearly as many. Davies only succeeded in about 13% of his tackles, way below Gana. So what exactly did Davies do, in your eyes, to get a 9? This is where is becomes all twisted for us that read your posts. For most watching eyes, there wasn't that much of a performance gap between the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
