    Dubravka - 7 - solid game, nearly made an error coming for one but made one or two really good saves.
    Yedlin - 7 - Fast and furious display from the speedster, plenty of good work going forwards and defending, just needs to make sure he doesn't get caught out up field when we need him defending.
    Fernandez - 8 - Well taken goal, defended fantastically, good on the ball.
    Lacselles - 8 - Captains performance again from the lad, no goals today but got his body in the way of just about everything and dragged the lads through to the end, was constantly barking out instructions.
    Clark - 8 - Same as Fernandez, both of them do the simple things really well and clark even had a few dribbles past half way.
    Willems - 8 - Another good display from the lad on loan, really making that LWB position his own and has a great understanding with ASM.
    Hayden - 7 - Came back in and didn't look liked he''d missed three games through suspension, solid if unspectacular.
    Shelvey - 9 - MOTM for me, aside from taking the two set pieces that led to our goals and the worldie freekick he did the donkey work well enough today, reigned in the hollywood balls and is a great outlet playing into the open spaces.
    Almiron - 7 - want to give him an 8 or a 9 but can't bring myself to due to the two misses but apart from those he probably would have been my MOTM today.
    ASM - 8 - The lad has tricks for day, pace to burn and a bit like Miggy, once they break their ducks I think they could run riot second half of the season
    Joelinton - 7 - Another I wanted to give a higher mark to. No goal but an assist and the ball does stick to him well for a 21 year old, he will improve and link the play better and better
    Bruce - 7 - could/should have made a few changes earlier to try and take advantage to WHU changes which got them a foothold in the game instead of trying to make changes to see the game out late on but credit where it's due he is obviously working on the front three and it seems to be paying off.

    no his job is to contribute in all areas of the game and today he did just that ! he's the opposite of players like ben arfa and Robert … You are wrong he will start because even Bruce said post match he was the best player on the pitch today.

    You can't drop either I don't think. If you ask me unless the player becoming available again is literally undroppable you've got to fight for your place and wait for your chance.

    I agree and i'm surprised some are still wanting almiron replaced because he does so much they clearly don't see

    Isnt it great to have a squad where players can fight for their places based on performance. We really are blessed in defense with the options we have at our disposal.

    I think Bournemouth have a few first team players suspended for next week, but I watched them today and I think both Wilsons will cause us problems .. think fraser and lerma are suspended

    A win next week and maybe we can start looking up rather than over our shoulders. I fear watford will go on a winning run when deeney comes back from injury.

    I think Bournemouth will cause us more problems up top with king and Wilson , but we're at home so maybe we can get something

    50/50 game mate. You could make an argument for all 3 outcomes. Just looking at the fixtures and Norwich play Watford next Friday, so at least we should where we stand with 2/3 bottom sides before we play.

    The Saint really did turn up today. If he can sort out his finishing and fitness we will have some player on our hands. West Ham were shocking today mind... maybe they thought it was just a case of showing up cause they took us to the cleaners last season.

    I think he will be gone after 1 season with us at this rate … he's getting noticed already. we paid 16 million for him , so Ashley would gladly cash in and will get bods well in excess of that as early as January
