CM) Francis Coquelin, 7
Perhaps more could be added to the attacking side of his game, but defensively he is great.
CM) Aaron Ramsey, 7
Tried to inject some urgency, but those around him didn’t seem able to match his energy.
CAM) Mesut Ozil, 4
Another of those games where the German is peripheral, is he worth these displays for the one in three match-winning ones?
LAM) Santi Cazorla, 5
Was beaten by a solid Hammers back line, who didn’t allow the diminutive midfielder any space to wield his magic.
RAM) Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 8
The one shining light in a dire match, the youngster looks set for a big season.
