He did all the ratty things really well. He&#8217;s got high energy, he&#8217;s young, talented and he&#8217;s the heartbeat of the team. He gets caught up sometimes in silly moments, trying to buy fouls when he doesn&#8217;t really have to. I thought it was his best performance for West Ham this season &#8211; a very mature performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Nico O&#8217;Reilly (Manchester City): I love seeing him play in midfield. He adds the legs and energy into City&#8217;s midfield &#8211; and obviously he gets his goal there as well. I feel the more he plays in his natural position &#8211; with Rodri around him &#8211; he&#8217;ll be a star, not only for Manchester City but England moving forward as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Jacob Ramsey (Newcastle): When Newcastle&#8217;s midfield has been torn up because of injury or suspension in the last few weeks, he&#8217;s quietly gone about his business. He&#8217;s been excellent and made sure he delivers in terms of performances and now goals. I think he&#8217;s a real steal for Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Cole Palmer (Chelsea): I&#8217;m going to give a sympathy vote to Cole Palmer. He was in there last week because he scored a hat-trick against Wolves &#8211; but this week: goal, assist, and is a level above everyone else &#8211; but what a miss that was. If he scores that goal, Chelsea obviously win the game. He&#8217;s a shoo-in. That miss does put a little stain on it, but I thought his overall performance was miles better. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mateus Fernandes (West Ham): He&#8217;s one of those players that looks like he would infuriate me, both to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-423227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
