Benhrama and Yarmi poor. Antonio not anywhere near match fit. Coufal looked like he was running through treacle at times. Dawson was solid and glad he got a goal, but again went down with a problem in the first half that seems unusual/inexplicable. At least we won.
That was getting worrying near then end. Tough game in awful conditions against a team who were camped in there own box (understandably). Benrahma really struggled but Yarma really is a terrible player imo. Was obviously gonna be a messy game if Jorderz did the thread.
Considering the opposition, I thought Yarmolenko, Benrahma and Lanzini were poor. Yes, conditions were bad, but Rice still found a way to impress. With such a thin squad, we can't afford to have passengers.
I wouldn't be upset if Yarmo doesn't play for us again. Benrahma must be in shock. To think last season he had Eze and Watkins buzzing around him making space and giving him passing options. Not sure what Moyes said at half time but I expected us to come out firing but we kicked off back into our half and it took 12 passes before we got the ball into their half. Rice was comfortably MOTM. Still, not easy conditions and we won. Bring on Doncaster.
Going by his record, Dawson ins’t due another FA Cup goal until the 2030’s.
From BBC - West Ham’s Craig Dawson scored his first FA Cup goal since netting for Rochdale versus FC United of Manchester in November 2010, 10 years and 67 days ago - indeed, all three of his FA Cup goals have come in different decades (2000's, 2010's & 2020's). Towering.

I’ve just woken up from a Paul Scoles induced coma. Jeez that man’s voice could send Bez on speed to sleep.
Tough old game, I thought Stockport defended really well so glad we got out with the win.
