West Ham 3-2 Leicester: Playing ratings in shocking performance
By James Bishop
Wilfred Ndidi– 5
Incredibly lucky to not be sent off in my opinion. Did his usual midfield antics, but in games like this his ability on the ball, or lack thereof, is highlighted very brightly.
Youri Tielemans– 6
As so often the case in games like these, everyone looked to him for some inspiration. He did his best, but it was just one of those days in his case.
Timothy Castange– 4
Offered absolutely nothing. He, like a lot players, is in a bad run of form at such a crucial time. Defensively he was OK, but it’s his attacking play that has been so non-existent. No dribbles, crosses or notable pieces of play.
Dennis Praet– 5
Neat and tidy here and there but had no effect on the game sadly, would love to see him have more confidence when he’s thinking of shooting
Jamie Vardy– 3
I’ve never seen him look this disinterested. It’s actually worrying how poor he’s been. If he’s not scoring then usually his work rate will bring something to the team, without that then he brings nothing to the table. You can’t keep playing him because he’s Jamie Vardy.
Kelechi Iheanacho– 7 Man of the Match
Great finishes from a man clearly full of confidence. He’s the main man right now. At times he had a few pointless efforts at goal, but I’m not going to have a go at him, he’s very confident at the moment so you shouldn’t discourage him from doing so. Would love to see him play up front on his own right now.
Substitutes:
Luke Thomas– 4
He was brought on to change the shape rather than him personally change the game. I can’t actually remember him doing anything.
Hot. 3 Foxes break COVID-19 rules – what’s next?. light
Marc Albrighton– 7
What on earth was this?! He had a brief 10-minute spell at the end where he was untouchable. He’s such a great asset to bring on when the team are losing, because he whips balls in the box and that creates pressure. He shouldn’t start the next week because the game is completely different than it was when he came on.
