West Ham United completed a double over Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton by beating them 3-0 at the London Stadium over the weekend. Wins normally bring entrants into the Team of the Week, as it happened when the Hammers upset Spurs in Round 36.
Here, we take a look at different pundits’ TOTW and the West Ham players named in them. We had noted that Mark Noble had his best game in a while against the Saints, and the Hammers skipper is among those who features, with goal scorers Ryan Fredericks and Marko Arnautovic being the other two.
Alan Shearer’s Premier League Team of the Week for Round 37
The former Magpies legend had Fredericks and Arnautovic in his Team of the Week. West Ham had 2 representatives in his TOTW, as did Wolves, with seven other clubs contributing a player each.
Jamie Redknapp Team of the Week for Game Week 37
Redknapp had only Mark Noble in his team of the week, and noted that the West Ham’s pass to set up Marko Arnautovic for the opener took his assists tally to 5- his highest ever for a Premier League campaign.
Garth Crooks Team of the Week for GW37
The BBC pundit’s team of the week, like Shearer’s, had spots for both Fredericks and Arnautovic. He described as Fredericks as “outstanding” and Arnautovic as “electric”. Also questioned Spurs’ decision to let Fredericks go, describing the right back as quick, having the ability to see danger and an eye for goal.
West Ham wrap up their season this weekend with a trip to Vicarage Road to take on Watford. With the Hornets having one eye on the FA Cup final, will we see West Ham players feature in the TOTW for a third successive week? Finishing the campaign with three wins in a row (and two of them on the road) would be very nice indeed! Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
