[Albion] Player ratings - West Ham (H)

[Skaville]

Ryan - 7 - didn’t really have to make a save, despite their territorial dominance
Bong - 7 - solid
Bruno - 8 - welcome back. Look a bit short of match fitness but defended well
Dunk - 8 - his best performance for some time bar being outmuscled once
Duffy - 7 - good performance
Propper - 7 - hope the injury is nothing serious
Kayal - 9 - MOTM - very busy. Great to see a bit of creativity in the middle
Jahanbakhsh - 6 - some good moments but ultimately a little ineffectual
AK - 7 - incredible close control marred by some woeful distributions. Great energy
March - 6 - marked up for a good second half spell. A passenger in the first half
Murray - 8 - 99 not out. A nuisance as usual

Izquierdo - 7 - loves playing against West Ham
Locadia - 7 - loved his movement. Felt for him as he needed that goal
Bissouma - 6 -

Generous for Propper. He must have been awesome for the 35 minutes I missed at the start because he was anonymous for the other 50 (subbed at 80 )

Maybe, but I thought he covered Kayal well. Might struggle to keep his place when Stephens is back

He only played 80.....

He only played 80.....

Definitely anonymous for the last ten

Ryan - 7 - reliable
Bong - 7 - Poor delivery like usual, but very quality on defense and was pivotal in securing the left side
Bruno - 6 - thought going forward his passes were a bit poor and WH created a lot from the left side
Dunk/Duffy - 8 - great performance
Propper - 6.5 - looked a bit nervous or something on the ball, good defensively but average in distribution
Kayal - 9.5 - played out of his mind today. Hustled on defense, quality final ball for the goal, the man has some lungs on him
Jahanbakhsh - 6 - good movement, but he was ultimately very nervous and I know he has a lot better football in him. Pivotal in the goal though with a smart run.
AK - 7 - helped retain possession a lot and was lively like usual. His defensive work today will be underrated, but it was very key
March - 7 - great work rate, horrible final ball but did well to hold up play in attack and was a constant pest to WH.
Murray - 8 - the usual

Great stat from the BBC website “27% of Brighton's wins in the Premier League have been against West Ham (3 of 11).”

Pretty much this, but I'd take a point from Propper and give it to AJ.

Best ratings so far.

Overall it was a poor/dull performance from us. Enjoyed the result not the game.

Kayal.

That's all.

Thought for the most part we lack fluidity, I'm not convinced playing three wingers worked. Knockaert seemed to have an off game, AJ kept drifting inside, Solly seemed too scared to ever run onto passes. Bong was his usual self - impressive at stopping them getting past him, but frequently lax in the pass. Bruno seemed to be off his game, probably a little rusty. Ryan's kicking was frequently poor, but made the simple saves when they were asked of him. Kayal was very positive. Propper was solid but unspectacular. Murray worked hard, took his goal well, but looked tired at times.

First half, while West Ham were tidier, they only had two chances of note - Arnautovic's turn and shot which Murray did well to block (Ryan would have been beaten) and Zabaletta coming in unmarked at the far post, but they then overplayed it and the chance went. As untidy as it felt we were, overhitting passes, not reading runs etc, we did look more likely to score. Second half we sat back and let them play a little too much for my liking. I don't expect us to attack non-stop for 90mins, and when we're leading against teams like West Ham they will have periods of dominance, but it felt like we paid them too much respect and waited too long to bring on Izquierdo to liven up our attack. I also think we rode our luck a bit - if not for some wayward finishing from Arnautovic, they could have stolen some points right at the end.

Still, given our run start to the season, the win is probably more important than the performance.
