Cardiff City
2-0: Saturday, 11th JanuaryWorked hard.
Fulham
1-2: Wednesday, 1st JanuaryChased shadows for much of the game without ever quite looking like he was going to apprehend any of them.
Tottenham Hotspur
2-1: Wednesday, 18th DecemberA great game - harrassed and bullied the Tottenham midfield.
Tottenham Hotspur
2-1: Wednesday, 18th DecemberGrew into the game and almost grabbed a late goal with a lovely shot that stung Lloris' hands.
Sunderland
0-0: Saturday, 14th DecemberVery little of note from his half-hour or so on the pitch.
Sunderland
0-0: Saturday, 14th DecemberStumbled into a shot when a bit more composure might have reaped some reward.
Liverpool

Chelsea
0-3: Saturday, 23rd NovemberLooked all at sea until withdrawn before half time.
Chelsea
0-3: Saturday, 23rd NovemberTaken off after just 40 minutes.
Norwich City
1-3: Saturday, 9th NovemberWorked hard but there's very little end product coming from Jack at the moment. Perhaps he'll just need a bit more time.
Aston Villa
0-0: Saturday, 2nd NovemberA competent display not short of endeavour, but nothing here to demonstrate that he’s much more than a very good Championship player or reliable if unspectacular Premiership squad member.
Aston Villa
0-0: Saturday, 2nd NovemberTidy game but I'm not sure he did enough to justify selection ahead of Diame.
Aston Villa
0-0: Saturday, 2nd NovemberOne good shot and linked up well.
Everton

Everton

Stoke City
0-1: Saturday, 31st AugustLike those few minutes were really going to give him a chance to alter things.
Cheltenham Town
2-1: Tuesday, 27th AugustPretty anonymous I’m afraid – still looks half the player that he was before the injury.

Wigan Athletic
2-0: Saturday, 20th April(Replaced Diame, 75)
A few nice passes when he came on, which, in this match, was something of a rarity.
Manchester United
2-2: Wednesday, 17th April(Replaced Diame, 82)
A few interceptions in the few moments he was on.
Southampton

Tottenham Hotspur
2-3: Monday, 25th February(Replaced Diame, 84)
No real contribution.
Swansea City
1-0: Saturday, 2nd FebruaryDid not play.
Queens Park Rangers
1-1: Saturday, 19th JanuaryDid not play.
Manchester United
2-2: Saturday, 5th JanuaryContinues to improve and looks to be getting back to his best.
Norwich City
2-1: Tuesday, 1st JanuaryGood to see him back – not a bad game either.
Everton
1-2: Saturday, 22nd December(Replaced Cole, 87)
Good to see him back – though part of me worries about the possibility that he’s been rushed in view of the injury crisis.
Blackpool
2-1: Saturday, 19th MayNot much worked for him in this match – and a bit of recklessness near the end could have proven costly.
Cardiff City
3-0: Monday, 7th MayFine first half and desperately unlucky with the injury that saw him miss all but three minutes of the second. Hope he’s fit to play some part at Wembley.
Cardiff City
2-0: Thursday, 3rd MayThe one player whose inclusion was slightly contentious given the recent form of Henri Lansbury, who didn't even make the 16. He paid Big Sam's faith in the best possible way by netting both goals.
Hull City
2-1: Saturday, 28th AprilDid not play.
Brighton & Hove Albion
6-0: Saturday, 14th April(Replaced O'Neil, 55)
Looked keen for the half-hour or so that he was there without ever really dominating proceedings.
Leeds United
1-1: Saturday, 17th MarchAnonymous for most of the game and was replaced by Morrison with 10 minutes left. Played wide right which is not his best position. Should be central.
Doncaster Rovers
1-1: Saturday, 10th MarchGot through a lot of hard work but really ought to have scored at the death.
Doncaster Rovers
1-1: Saturday, 10th MarchSeemed to understand big Sam's tactics about us much as we did.
Cardiff City
2-0: Sunday, 4th MarchA lot of good running off the ball but a few things didn't quite work for him.
Crystal Palace
0-0: Saturday, 25th FebruaryBit of a ‘mare for young Jack – whether it was the effects of tiredness or just an off day in general that was responsible I don’t know but it was one of those days when virtually nothing he tried came off.
Blackpool
4-1: Wednesday, 22nd FebruaryClassy performance from the Welshman. Was exceptional ball and was the main reason behind some of the good football we played. Set up Maynard goal with neat drag back.
Southampton
1-1: Tuesday, 14th FebruaryThe unfortunate man to make way after Taylor’s sending off. Saw very little of the ball before that.
Millwall
2-1: Saturday, 4th FebruaryFailed to provide width – understandably perhaps given he was a right footer on the left, something that gives a natural tendency to cut inside. Got caught in possession a couple of times.
Millwall
2-1: Saturday, 4th FebruaryA largely ineffective 45 minutes before being subbed for Taylor at half time. Still think he is much more suited to a central role rather than being played out wide.
Nottingham Forest
2-1: Saturday, 21st JanuaryLooking like he’s beginning to recapture the form before his terrible injury. Was very good on the ball and looked are most creative midfielder today.
Portsmouth
1-0: Saturday, 14th JanuaryNot bad. Came closest to scoring in the second half.
Burnley
1-2: Saturday, 3rd DecemberThe Welsh international had an excellent first half and should have scored after the break when he rattled the wrong side of the woodwork. Better though.
Derby County
3-1: Saturday, 26th NovemberThe switch to a three man midfield saw him playing more centrally in the second half and it’s clear this role suits him best. Another improved performance.
Coventry City
2-1: Saturday, 19th NovemberEased off the ball far too easily in this one. And as for that miss…
Hull City
2-0: Saturday, 5th NovemberBeginning to show signs of his pre-injury form and took the goal well.
Blackpool
4-0: Saturday, 15th OctoberContinues to improve as he gets more time on the pitch following his injury. If you see his goal again watch out for the clever way he pulls back to the edge of the box, resulting in him being in exactly the right place to score when the ball comes out to him.
Crystal Palace
2-2: Saturday, 1st OctoberStill lacks sharpness, which led to his getting caught in possession on a number of occasions.
Ipswich Town
0-1: Tuesday, 27th September(Replaced Bentley, 64) Largely anonymous in his half hour.
Nottingham Forest
4-1: Sunday, 28th AugustA spectator for much of the game and he's certainly struggling to repeat previous highs. But it should be remembered that he's still feeling his way back from the terrible injury that kept him out of action for so long.
Leeds United
2-2: Sunday, 21st AugustNot one of his better days. Much of the match seemed to pass him by.
Watford
4-0: Tuesday, 16th AugustSlightly disappointed. When you suffer with having no pace whatsoever, you need to make sure you do a hell of a lot more with the ball with your end product, but barring some neat link up play and a few nice moves down the right, he never really displayed anything special. A solid game though, but you can tell he isn't a wide player as he was drifting infield a little to make use of his assets, as you got the sense he felt a little out of his depth out wide.
Doncaster Rovers
1-0: Saturday, 13th AugustLooked a little tired towards the end but had played well up to his replacement. Fine cross for the goal.
Doncaster Rovers
1-0: Saturday, 13th AugustA first start this season and a good enough effort. The cross for Nolan's goal was sublime.
Cardiff City
0-1: Sunday, 7th August(Replaced Noble, 74 mins) Looked lively in the 15 minutes or so he was given.
Sunderland
0-3: Sunday, 22nd MayGot the sponsors’ MOTM award and for me that was just about right. Another who will benefit from a full pre-season.
Blackburn Rovers
1-1: Saturday, 7th May(Replaced Sears, 64 mins) Good to see him back – showed a few bright moments, notably with the pass that lead to Keane’s miss.
Chelsea
1-4: Saturday, 13th MarchDid not play.
Manchester United
0-3: Tuesday, 23rd February(Replaced Behrami, 63 mins) Covered a lot of ground to little effect.
Hull City
3-0: Sunday, 21st February(Replaced Diamanti, 85 mins) The game was effectively over by the time he arrived.
Hull City
3-0: Sunday, 21st February(Replaced Diamanti, 85 mins) Not enough time to cause any problems for the Hull defence. But always a welcome face at the Boleyn.
Hull City
3-0: Sunday, 21st February(Replaced Diamanti, 85 mins) The game was effectively over by the time he arrived.
Birmingham City
2-0: Wednesday, 10th FebruaryDid not play.
Burnley
1-2: Saturday, 6th FebruaryOne shot that cannoned into a defender and a stupid foul that lead to the second goal were his most notable “contributions”. Looks some way short of his highly promising early form.
Blackburn Rovers
0-0: Saturday, 30th JanuaryLooked ok sporadically but delayed shots and passes a couple of times too much for my liking.
Portsmouth

Manchester United
0-4: Saturday, 5th DecemberA wretched afternoon. Barely picked out a pass and seemed ill at ease with whatever it was h was supposed to be doing.
Burnley
5-3: Saturday, 28th NovemberQuick thinking and composure for the goal but guilty of failing to help out Spector in the second half.
Hull City
3-3: Saturday, 21st NovemberComments to follow.
Everton
1-2: Sunday, 8th NovemberComments to follow.
Aston Villa
2-1: Wednesday, 4th NovemberAnother who is returning to form. Needs to have a look at his footwear though – I lost count of the number of times he slipped over during the match.
Sunderland
2-2: Saturday, 31st OctoberExcellent in the first half, he got caught in possession far too much in the second for my liking.
Arsenal
2-2: Sunday, 25th OctoberA quietish one – a few decent passes and a bit unlucky with an early shot that was adjudged to have been offside.
Stoke City
1-2: Saturday, 17th OctoberComments to follow.
Blackburn Rovers
0-0: Saturday, 29th AugustLots of effort (as always) but to little avail.
Millwall
3-1: Tuesday, 25th AugustJust for turning up.

Beijing Guoan
2-0: Friday, 31st JulyA solid 70 minutes of competitive football.
Middlesbrough
2-1: Sunday, 24th MayYoung Hammer of the Year, he produced another mature run out that makes him look like he’s been there for years.
Liverpool
0-3: Saturday, 9th May(Replaced Stanislas, 59 mins) Looked decent enough in the half-hour he was on and, assuming he’s not injured himself in the meantime, I’d start him up at Goodison.
Stoke City
1-0: Saturday, 2nd May(Replaced Boa Morte, 82 mins) Only on a few minutes so not much time to influence proceedings.
Bolton Wanderers
1-2: Saturday, 21st FebruarySeemed to lose his confidence after giving away the free-kick that led to the first-goal.
Manchester City
1-0: Saturday, 21st FebruaryAnother decent run out. The finish for the goal was a lot more difficult than it looked too.
Middlesbrough
1-1: Saturday, 14th FebruaryLively as always but it was a terrible miss in the 38th minute.
Middlesbrough
1-1: Saturday, 14th FebruaryProbably should have scored in the first half and sometimes guilty of over-elaboration.

Manchester United
0-1: Sunday, 8th FebruaryDoubled-up with Illunga against Giggs and still found time to help the attack.
Manchester United
0-1: Sunday, 8th FebruaryDidn’t look out of place in any way against such so-called illustrious opposition.
Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 31st JanuaryStuck to the task well though circumstances dictated that he didn’t impose his authority on the game as much as of late.

Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 31st JanuaryExcept for a couple of poor passes in advanced positions, he had another highly promising game.
Hull City
2-0: Wednesday, 28th JanuaryA player I love watching. His upright stance reminds me of Brooking. Has the potential to be as good as Carrick. Let us hope we keep this one.
Hartlepool United
2-0: Saturday, 24th JanuaryA few nice touches but generally a fairly quiet afternoon.
Fulham
3-1: Sunday, 18th JanuaryMy man of the match. His promotion to the first-team has been a tremendous difference to the side's performance. Has the ability to go to the very top. West Ham's ambition will be tested by the offers that will come from the top clubs for this highly promising player.
Newcastle United
2-2: Saturday, 10th JanuaryAnother fine one from the youngster. Young Hammer of The Year anyone?
Barnsley
3-0: Saturday, 3rd JanuaryContinues to mature – better finishing might have seen him add to the tally as well.
Stoke City
2-1: Sunday, 28th DecemberGot through a lot of running before being sacrificed as we searched for the winner.

Portsmouth
0-0: Saturday, 15th NovemberAnother good run out for the lad who continues to impress. In the unlikely event that we ever get a fully injury-free squad it’ll be interesting to see where he lies in the pecking order.

Everton
1-3: Saturday, 8th November(replaced Upson, 15) A fine run-out from the bench. Rarely wasted the ball and the finish for his goal was superb.

Middlesbrough
1-1: Saturday, 1st NovemberA decent showing from the youngster who constantly sought the ball. Should have scored though.
MLS AllStars
2-3: Friday, 25th July(replaced Mullins, 65) On the periphery.
