While Konstantinos Mavropanos and Mads Hermansen were the standouts for West Ham United against Manchester City, they weren’t the only players worthy of mention.

Rarely has a draw felt like a win – at the time at least. Indeed, West Ham drew 1-1 with Man City, a result that briefly moved them out of the relegation zone before Nottingham Forest drew with Fulham a day later.

Still, that shouldn’t take away from the palpable sense of positivity here in east London. Mavropanos and Hermansen were both excellent, but they weren’t the only ones.

Here, Hammers News looks at the winners and the losers from the game.

Winners

Jean-Clair Todibo

Special mention should also go to Jean-Clair Todibo, however.

Finish this sentence!

Mavropanos’ performance is the best by a West Ham defender since… ?

Todibo was brilliant against Fulham last week and followed that up with another fine performance against City.

He made ten defensive contributions in total, while winning all but two of his duels.

A very strong performance from the Frenchman.

Pablo Felipe

This was the latest strong showing from Pablo Felipe, too.

Pablo has impressed West Ham fans in moments at times since he signed for the club, and he appears to be building up a head of steam now that he has returned from injury.

The January signing put in another energetic performance here, too.

Mads Hermansen has been West Ham’s BEST PLAYER under Nuno

Do you agree? 🧤

Pablo won his only duel, made four defensive contributions and completed a dribble.

It was hardly the stuff of legend but supporters watching on will know he’s a genuine handful and this was further proof of that.

Crysencio Summerville

It would have been fascinating to see how things would have played out if Crysencio Summerville had been playing.

The Dutchman is one of the Premier League’s form players right now and missed the game due to a calf injury.

Obviously, not having him available was a blow from a West Ham perspective. However, the fact that they manage to claim a point does ease the pressure somewhat.

Now, the club do not have to rush him back into action unless he is absolutely ready.

Declan Rice

Former Hammer Declan Rice was also a big winner from the game.

The fact that City dropped yet more points in the title race would not have been lost on him.

Where it is usually West Ham throwing a spanner in the works for Arsenal when it comes to their attempts to win the league title, City came a cropper in east London.

Rice’s side are now nine points clear in the title race and it looks very likely that he will be a Premier League champion soon.

Loser

Freddie Potts

Frankly, there weren’t many losers from the game from a West Ham point of view.

Still, it is notable how midfielder Freddie Potts has now been back from his suspension for two games and hasn’t appeared in any.

Right now, both Mohamadou Kante and Soungoutou Magassa would appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order.
