I stand by this.

Percy was threatening when he came on tonight. Lots of pace, unpredictable and makes things happen. I continue to be baffled why he’s hardly featured.
I'm yet to be convinced he's that good, but I would like to see him get a few chances ahead of Jahanbakhsh. To be honest though, I wouldn't be worried if we moved both of them on in the summer (if anyone will take them). Worth the punt ............. maybe, but it was a huge punt in Jahanbakhsh's case. Something else to be put down to experience.

He was on for 20 mins and opened up the West Ham defence in that time.

Trossard did F all

I thought Trossard made loads of good runs to find pockets of space, picking the ball up repeatedly in dangerous areas. And then did F all.

Outcome is the same but there is a subtle difference when thinking about his overall contribution. Thought he was lucky to stay on when Ali J got the hook, though I suppose Ali's not played much - may have been a fitness thing.

Good energy from Percy when he came on, and nice assist. Would like to see some more from him against City & Arsenal.

Great pass to Welbeck but apart from that several West Ham attacks were started by Percy unable to retain the ball

The physicality of the Premier League takes some getting used to.

I'm sure Percy will acclimatise in time, much like Mac Allister had to.

Trossard’s indifferent form is a real worry. Second season in the PL, he’s so in and out of games, thought Jahanbakhsh outshone him today.

Now he’s in the Belgium squad for the Euro’s I expect him to put even less effort in over the next 2 games, hope I’m wrong.

I agree with this. I doubt he will want to play and I don't think we should be playing him

I love how the SA fans are just dining off that Percy assist.

“Coaches should use this clip around the world!”

Not sure I'd fault his effort tbh, seemed to be popping up everywhere against WHU, just not very effective with the ball.

I'm not anti-Trossard, I think he's a decent player and I want us to keep him, but he definitely didn't have a good day at the office against West Ham.

Felt like most of his passes went straight to the opposition, in the first half especially it was almost constant.
