da dobrowin： Robert Snodgrass wowed West Ham fans in his only match as a central midfielder, humbling Jack Wilshere in the process.
Wilshere joined in the summer when Arsenal let the former England regular leave for free and started the season in each of Manuel Pellegrini’s sides before yet another injury struck.
Further unwelcome injuries to the Hammers squad depleted what resources the Chilean coach could call upon, leading to a situation where Snodgrass was needed in a central role.
The Scotsman had previously only been utilised on the right hand flank but found himself in the heart of the London Stadium pitch alongside Mark Noble against Tottenham Hotspur for one of the club’s biggest fixtures of the season.
As a key part of the side, the 31-year-old touched the ball 59 times and completed 84% of his passes, some eight percent higher than Noble, to receive a lot of respect from Irons fans.
In a recent poll on Football FanCast, Hammers supporters voted in their masses that Snodgrass presented himself as a better central option for Pellegrini than the injury-prone Wilshere.
