West Ham's Manor Solomon is right to criticise his wasteful Israel display

West Ham United's Manor Solomon played the full 90 minutes in Israel's draw with Kosovo.

Ran Ben Shimon's side were playing their third game of their UEFA Nations League group stage campaign on Thursday night.

It was FIFA-ranked 76th in the world (Israel) facing off against the 78th-ranked side (Kosovo) in Debrecen, Hungary.

Solomon's Israeli side were winless from their opening two group stage matches, and so could really have done with three points over Kosovo.

Unfortunately for them, this wasn't to be the case, in what turned out to be an eventful 0-0 draw.

But will Solomon be able to come out of this one with his head held high about his performance?

Where did Manor Solomon lead all players in Israel vs Kosovo?

Winning his 52nd cap for his country on Thursday night, Solomon is one of Israel's key players.

He's not been able to take his West Ham early-season form into the Nations League though, as he's failed to find the net in these three games.

It's been for a lack of trying though, and Solomon was again at the heart of a lot of things Israel did well against Kosovo.

Per FotMob, no player on the pitch delivered more accurate crosses than Solomon's two.

Meanwhile, he also created one chance, completed 38 of his 46 pass attempts accurately (83 per cent) and was successful with one dribble.

Solomon also made four recoveries, one interception and played four passes into the final third.

That was about as far as his numbers stretched in terms of positives, so where was his performance lacking on Thursday night?

Solomon was largely wasteful vs Kosovo

"We lacked quality in attack, I wasn't good enough either, I didn't bring the required quality," Solomon told Israeli news outlet Ynet after the Kosovo draw.

The West Ham man didn't hide from the fact he felt he should've done more to impact the game.

Per Sofascore, Solomon lost possession 14 times, whilst only two of his 31 carries were progressive carries.

The West Ham man put just one shot on goal and that was off target, whilst he could only complete 76 per cent of his passes in the Kosovo half.

He also won just one of his four ground duels and didn't contest a single duel in the air.

The Hammers star didn't commit a single foul either, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but perhaps highlights a lack of defensive impetus.

Kosovo were able to put 18 shots on Israel's goal, and the highest volume of their attacks (38 per cent) came down Solomon's left operating as a wide attacking midfielder.

As such, he could've done more to nullify Kosovo's threat down his side, and that may have opened up more opportunities for Israel to take charge of the game.
