Wan-Bissaka was often accused at the Red Devils of switching off at the back post and allowing opposition forwards to nick in ahead of him. While Chelsea took full advantage of \u2018AWB\u2019s positional deficiencies, another West London outfit made him pay in the FA Cup third round.<\/p>\n
Who was West Ham\u2019s MOTM against QPR and why?! \ud83d\udc40 <\/p>\n

A teasing cross over the head of Jean-Clair Todibo. And as Wan-Bissaka loitered at the back stick, playing Richard Kone onside in the process, he was beaten to the punch as the QPR striker guided a clever header past a returning Mads Hermansen.<\/p>\n
Aaron Wan-Bissaka at fault for QPR\u2019s equaliser against West Ham United<\/p>\n
Scott Minto, a West Ham full-back himself from 1999 to 2003, initially found himself parroting Sam Allardyce in the commentary gantry.<\/p>\n
Allardyce feels that Wan-Bissaka was overly-criticised<\/a> at Manchester United, particularly regarding his attacking output. That was a claim Minto was keen to back up during the opening 60 minutes of West Ham vs Queens Park Rangers, while also labelling the club\u2019s reigning Hammer of the Year a \u2018brilliant\u2019 defensive operator.<\/p>\n Moments later, as Kone levelled, Minto\u2019s praise appeared to age as well as a carton of Cravendale left out in the summer sun.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he is a brilliant defender and not as bad as people have been saying, [especially] when he was at Man United in particular,\u201d Minto told TNT Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not bombing on or [showing] great skill but he\u2019s a great athlete, a good one-on-one and defender and he does have things going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n Minto would have nothing negative to say about Hermansen when Kone hit the target in the immediate aftermath. The goalkeeper was left stranded and helpless on his first outing since the Graham Potter era. <\/p>\n But Wan-Bissaka\u2019s role in the QPR equaliser proves that old habits do indeed die hard.<\/p>\n Sum up this man\u2019s performance against QPR in three words \ud83d\udc47 <\/p>\n \ud83d\udc47 Join the debate; share your insight.

Castellanos broke QPR\u2019s brave resistance with a bullet header eight minutes into extra time, assisted by a scintillating piece of work from Crysencio Summerville down the left.<\/p>\nPhoto by Alex Pantling\/Getty Images<\/p>\n![\"West](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2255192928-1024x669.jpg\")
