Manor Solomon Completes Full Match in West Ham's Disappointing Home Loss to Charlton
West Ham suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against Charlton on Saturday, marking a disappointing result for the newly relegated Premier League club in their Championship campaign. The team had previously drawn 2-2 against Burnley after losing a two-goal lead in the season opener. Israeli midfielder Manor Solomon, who scored in the opening match, played the entire 90 minutes in his home debut. During the game, Solomon attempted one shot and executed a notable play in the first half where he evaded two defenders but was stopped by a defender's header that prevented the ball from reaching the goal. He completed 53 out of 57 passes, demonstrating solid ball control.
English media reviews of Solomon's performance were mixed. Read West Ham rated him a 5 out of 10, noting he failed to replicate the impact of his debut against Burnley and that West Ham needed more offensive sharpness after conceding early. Claret and Hugh also gave him a 5, describing him as energetic but highlighting that the opposition applied double marking on him, limiting his influence. They noted his shot led to West Ham's first corner kick of the match. Overall, the team and Solomon fell short of expectations in this early Championship fixture.
