Manor Solomon Earns Praise Amidst West Ham's Poor Start
Despite West Ham United's disappointing 1-1 draw against Watford on Saturday, which leaves them 19th in the league with only two points from a possible nine, Israeli winger Manor Solomon received commendations from the British press. While most of his teammates were heavily criticized, Solomon was awarded scores of 7 by Hammers.news and Green Street Hammers, and a 6 by Claret & Hugh.
Hammers.news noted Solomon as the second-highest rated player on the team, behind young defender Iredis Goulmbeckis. They described him as the "beating heart on the wing" but acknowledged he struggled to make a decisive impact, adding that he is one of the few players who have shown up for West Ham this season and needs more quality around him.
Claret & Hugh highlighted a particularly impressive dribble and noted Solomon's increasing influence as the game progressed. They stated he has the highest chance of creating something for West Ham, but Watford managed him well, and he requires more support.
Green Street Hammers praised his performance in the second half, regretting he couldn't score, and called him West Ham's most consistent attacker this season. A large fan page, WestHam_Central, lauded Solomon as the only winger capable of beating his defender and possessing the technical ability and intelligence to be relied upon going forward.
