Konstantinos Mavropanos had a world-class performance against Manchester City, where he was one of the three central defenders who played a significant part in a crucial point being achieved.

Take a bow Mavro! It was a monumental performance from the Greek international, where he deservedly achieved MOTM tonight. His top performance saw him keeping the ball out at one end whilst also scoring the decisive leveller from a corner, giving West Ham the upper hand and seeing the Hammers head out of the relegation zone for the first time since November…

Mavropanos has previously been criticised for his duels that he’s been successful in, but not tonight – Haaland might be concerned that once he goes to his front door tonight, Mavropanos might be there waiting for him. He was absolutely everywhere on that pitch tonight. He won all of his ground duels and won half of his aerial duels, something of which he’s struggled in previously, but what a time it is to iron out your mistakes.

Many criticised Nuno for going with a back five, as it tends to always go wrong for West Ham, but with Mavro alongside Disasi and Todibo, he seems confident in trusting his surrounding defenders, and that is allowing him to grow in confidence, subsequently improving his defensive game.

Ten clearances, four interceptions and three blocks. Would you like any more defensive stats? Not to mention he also wasn’t dispossessed across the entire game and given how defensive the Hammers played and how often we passed it around the back, that’s quite impressive.

Sometimes players do struggle with confidence, but it does go to show that a player can excel depending on who they have around them. Alongside Max Kilman, Mavropanos struggled massively, and he didn’t seem comfortable at all, but with the reassurance of Disasi and Todibo combined, it seems that he may’ve found the sweet spot he’s been wanting to hit for a while, which won’t only be good for him individually but will be crucial for West Ham.
