West Ham - Post match thread

[Peggy's a blue]

tell me I m wrong but opta think Jesus is 1st City player to both score and assist on debut. I thinks its wrong as Kun scored and assisted for silva v. swansea. Was there that Monday night.

Did he come on at halftime though, I think the guy meant started the game debut if you know what I mean ;-)

They're playing with semantics, he's the first to do that having started, Aguero came on as a sub.

I think the first ten games we looked good, sure, but in many ways we were almost like Pellegrini's City at it's best for most of that time. Then we hit a rough patch. The wins against Barcelona and West Brom were indicators of what we were capable of. Touré's return against Palace was a crucial, crucial game for our season.

For me the Leicester game was the real turning point. Since then Pep's taken a more pragmatic approach to the way his team sets up to defend, while still keeping his principles alive. Tonight was another step in the direction of being peak Barcelona. Aside from the slip-ups against Liverpool and Everton it's been looking up for us ever since Zabaleta fired us in front at the Etihad in December.

oddle is a wanker, he hates praising City looking for any negative, McManaman was very good tonight & even Wright had to say City were good.

I wouldn't change a thing on Sunday, let others watch & wait inc Aguero.

Your looking at the next 6-8 years from 3, f in awesome..

Jesus is adaptable and versatile (can play midfield or anywhere in attack) and from what I've seen so far his natural position looks like left side of a front three - a bit like Robinho (who gave us all a massive lift)....... but a better player. Sane also specialises in that left side of a front three position but in a more direct style. We've now got more quality players than positions available. Fantastic problem for Pep. 18 in 24 for Sergio under Pep. Delivers under the ultimate pressure.

no chance Hoddle said because their pitch is bigger than any other

Nevin was just as bad in the beeb website
Tossers the lot of them. The pitch size of every Premier League team is supposed to be the same Uefa CL standard. 105m * 68m. Only a couple are 66m wide (Stoke and Spurs fir example) but all have to comply ASAP. Non compliance is strictly limited time wise.

Apparently Fred Eyre said something along the lines of: YaYa Toure in midfield there, he'll be faster than that taking his dog for a walk later!!

commentator on bt was fuckin disgusting, wanting jesus sent off for a tackle that wasn't even a foul, then for west hams disallowed goal saying surely hes onside.
I'm fuckin sick of the bastards, they don't even try to hide the bias

Out all evening and not even seen a kick. But great stuff, lads, and it sounds like the youngsters excelled.

Fantastic two days with everyone else dropping points.

Hoddle's stupidity is punishment for sins committed in a past life.
