West Ham defender struggled in win.
Arthur Masuaku has faced his fair share of criticism for his troubled defensive performances for West Ham this season.
The former Serie A man has been exposed as a weak link at left-back yet retains his place in the starting line-up.
His poor defending was evident at the weekend in the 3-2 win over Crystal Palace and the statistics highlight it.
While the rest of West Ham’s back four made their presence felt with tackles and interceptions, Masuaku barely made an impact.
Pablo Zabaleta managed a combined five tackles and interceptions.
Issa Diop contributed six. Fabian Balbuena provided eight.
Masuaku managed just one.
It demonstrates how Masuaku is all ill fit for the role and is out of sync with his more defensive minded teammates.
The left-back position is one which once belonged to Aaron Cresswell.
It should be a concern to the one-time England international that he continues to be overlooked.
