Southampton 0-1 West Ham: Premier League – Saints Player Ratings
By Marc Walker
Strikers and Substitutes
Shane Long, Striker – 6
Hard working all night as usual, which is more than can be said for some of his teammates on the night
Danny Ings, Striker – 7
Went close a few times in the dying stages, mostly thanks to his own work in creating the chances. Currently this side’s only chance of avoiding the drop.
Oriol Romeu, 1st Substitute – 6
Did shore things up in the middle and provided some control to build attacks. Provides the option of a third midfielder with a more defensive mindset.
Stuart Armstrong, 2nd Substitute – N/A
No time to make an impact, but will be in line for a start if Hasenhuttl persists with his 4-2-2-2.
Che Adams, 3rd Substitute – N/A
One decent opening to swivel and shoot, but chose to take a touch such is his lack of belief. Deserves more time on the pitch than two minutes at the end to put things right.
