A collection of the top stats of West Ham United’s Premier League campaign so far, featuring Andy Carroll, Alex Song and Stewart Downing…
Alex Song has been a force in defensive midfield for West Ham United so far this season, but Mark Noble has attempted more tackles than him.
| Position | Team | Total Tackle/Games | Won Tackle/Game | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark Noble | MF | West Ham | 2.92 | 2.33 | 12 | 988 |
| Cheikhou Kouyaté | MF | West Ham | 2.8 | 2.07 | 15 | 1,238 |
| Alexandre Song | MF | West Ham | 2.69 | 2.38 | 13 | 1,021 |
| James Tomkins | DF | West Ham | 2.07 | 1.5 | 14 | 1,215 |
| Aaron Cresswell | DF | West Ham | 1.68 | 1.11 | 19 | 1,710 |
Aaron Cresswell has been brilliant for the Hammers, but the 25-year-old left-back has also been directly responsible for two of the 23 goals that they have conceded.
| Position | Team | Error Lead To Goal | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aaron Cresswell | DF | West Ham | 2 | 19 | 1,710 |
| Adrián | GK | West Ham | 1 | 19 | 1,710 |
Stewart Downing has put in more crosses than any other West Ham player, but his cross accuracy is distinctly average.
| Position | Team | Total Cross/GAME | Accurate Cross/GAME | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stewart Downing | MF | West Ham | 8.89 | 2.78 | 18 | 1,603 |
| Carl Jenkinson | DF | West Ham | 4.53 | 0.73 | 15 | 1,137 |
| Aaron Cresswell | DF | West Ham | 3.74 | 0.68 | 19 | 1,710 |
| Guy Demel | DF | West Ham | 3.2 | 0.6 | 5 | 242 |
| Morgan Amalfitano | MF | West Ham | 3 | 0.38 | 13 | 723 |
It is not surprising to see Enner Valencia head the list of attempted dribbles, and it seems that Mauro Zarate has been adventurous as well.
| Position | Team | Total Dribbles/Game | Dribbles Won/Game | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enner Valencia | FW | West Ham | 3.44 | 1.44 | 16 | 869 |
| Mauro Zárate | FW | West Ham | 3.14 | 1.57 | 7 | 415 |
| Diafra Sakho | FW | West Ham | 2.54 | 0.92 | 13 | 955 |
| Alexandre Song | MF | West Ham | 2.46 | 1.62 | 13 | 1,021 |
| Guy Demel | DF | West Ham | 2.2 | 1.2 | 5 | 242 |
Not many will be surprised to see Andy Carroll‘s aerial superiority following his recent return from injury.
| Position | Team | Aerial Won GAME | Aerial Lost GAME | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andy Carroll | FW | West Ham | 9.89 | 5.78 | 9 | 665 |
| James Tomkins | DF | West Ham | 4.71 | 1.43 | 14 | 1,215 |
| James Collins | DF | West Ham | 3.42 | 1 | 12 | 757 |
| Winston Reid | DF | West Ham | 3.33 | 1.61 | 18 | 1,554 |
Downing has provided six assists, but two of them were unintentional. Cheikhou Kouyate has provided two assists, but he did not mean either of them.
| Position | Team | Goal Assist | Goal Assist Intentional | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stewart Downing | MF | West Ham | 6 | 4 | 18 | 1,603 |
| James Tomkins | DF | West Ham | 3 | 2 | 14 | 1,215 |
| Aaron Cresswell | DF | West Ham | 2 | 2 | 19 | 1,710 |
| Carl Jenkinson | DF | West Ham | 2 | 2 | 15 | 1,137 |
| Cheikhou Kouyaté | MF | West Ham | 2 | 0 | 15 | 1,238 |
Downing has been one of the most creative players in the Premier League, but it appears that defensive midfielder Song has played his part in that department.
| Position | Team | Key Passes | Big Chance Created | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stewart Downing | MF | West Ham | 54 | 5 | 18 | 1,603 |
| Aaron Cresswell | DF | West Ham | 21 | 3 | 19 | 1,710 |
| Alexandre Song | MF | West Ham | 15 | 2 | 13 | 1,021 |
| Mark Noble | MF | West Ham | 14 | 0 | 12 | 988 |
| Diafra Sakho | FW | West Ham | 12 | 2 | 13 | 955 |
Carroll is not guaranteed a place in West Ham’s starting line-up, but the England international striker has certainly been more impressive than Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia when it comes to key passes and chances created.
| Position | Team | Key Passes | Big Chance Created | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diafra Sakho | FW | West Ham | 12 | 2 | 13 | 955 |
| Andy Carroll | FW | West Ham | 8 | 1 | 9 | 665 |
| Enner Valencia | FW | West Ham | 8 | 2 | 16 | 869 |
One area that Carroll is behind Sakho is his ability to keep his shots on target.
| Position | Team | Total Shots | Shots on Target | Shot Off Target | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diafra Sakho | FW | West Ham | 40 | 13 | 20 | 13 | 955 |
| Stewart Downing | MF | West Ham | 37 | 11 | 13 | 18 | 1,603 |
| Enner Valencia | FW | West Ham | 32 | 7 | 14 | 16 | 869 |
| Andy Carroll | FW | West Ham | 31 | 8 | 16 | 9 | 665 |
| Morgan Amalfitano | MF | West Ham | 13 | 3 | 5 | 13 | 723 |
