Guaita 7 a couple of decent saves you’d expect him to make
PVA 7 Pace, dealt with Traore
Dann 6 solid enough
Kouyate 6 fine
Clyne 6 good coming forward, beaten in air is trade off
McCarthy 5 went to ground too much
Milivojevic 6 decent game apart from set pieces.
Zaha 7 came to life second half, unlucky to hit bar
Eze 6 great strike. Poor and negative until then
Ayew 7 did his job well. Held it up and good skills.
Batshuayi 5 some nice touches but missed easy chance
Subs:
Riedewald 8 MOM Felt for him not being trusted to start. Covered PVA, protected the centre backs with Luka. Kept us solid in the middle and decent passing. Our most important player.
Townsend N/A
Ward N/A
Hodgson 8 My man of the match. Or should he be? We set up in a 4-2-3-1 to begin with, which will have send vast swathes of our fans into ecstasy. However, would McArthur have started but for the injury? Anyway, as predicted, without McArthur in the middle (who has a tendency to rush forward out of position to leave us exposed) we had a double shield in front of the defence and rarely looked troubled defensively as a result. So much better, Royball was back. Eze scored the goal with a fierce strike on his left foot (and great movement to get there) but passed backwards and contributed nothing defensively or offensively before then. An extremely talented player, but a passenger for huge chunks. Zaha was poor on the left and didn’t beat the full back once. Looked much better when through the middle, pulling out on the right when Hodgson switched us back to 4-4-2. Pleased to see Jairo come on. Solid and can pass: LM and JR by far our best centre midfield pair. Shame we had to wait until injuries to both JM and JM in late Jan to see it but better late than never. So great to see us in control defensively and not run ragged. Let the quality of Zaha and Eze be the difference. Great win. A step towards survival and then Roy can sail off into the sunset during the summer and the rebuild can begin. COYP.
