West Ham (H) Post Match Thread

It looks even more impressive when you view it like this

That table is going to need a third column.

I think Kev regains fitness in games rather than training. Another 45 mins and hell be right.

Its not just fitness, he's looked sloppy in general play for a good while now

So pleased that you noticed this. Was going to say the same. I think Pep took a gamble in this game and luckily it paid off this time. Win against Wolves and the red shite and I think it’s done.

It shouldn’t though. It’s no different to having Bernardo in the team instead of KDB, they are all midfielders.

The whole first half was disjointed. West Ham had good shape and I think the biggest issue was actually having an unfit Sergio start. That disrupted our rhythm and I felt West Ham got to our back 4 quicker and easier as a consequence.

Stand aside Vinnie.

Not had time to read the whole thread, so I don't know if this has already been posted.
Following the win today, we now have 62 points. This means we are now mathematically unable to be relegated, as Fulham, third bottom, even if they win all their remaining games, can only reach 61!
Happy days!!
As for the match, we won.

Dias is already a City legend in my view. A superb leader who will only get better. He could turn out to be as important to our club as Vinny did.

Well played Blues.

You can just score out of nothing at times, thought Mahrez was a constant threat and our young lad couldn’t handle him.

other than that, we restricted you to little. We played as well as we possibly could, everyone put in a shift and we could have nicked a point at the death.

Not disappointed with that performance at all.

The Hammers played well and made it very tough for City and don't be fooled by some of the comments on here, City didn't play shite or anything like. No, we weren't at our best, especially in the first half but we were very good in the second half when we barely gave West Ham a sniff but West Ham were very hard to break down. A very Moyes side, hope they manage to stay in the top four: currently there on merit.

Ferran Torres should get more game time. He's going to be very good.

 

[MK-Blues]

he is our next captain. and for long term like vinny.

 

[bluesteel]

2 this season, his standards are slipping, needs to get shithousing.

I swear he got booked in the 86th minute and the 93rd!

It wasn't lucky that it paid off.

Huge win. Thought the streak might end at 1-1 but we pulled through!!

20 consecutive wins!!! TWENTY

Can't agree with that NLP. Was magnificent form before injury. Shit since his return, apart from his cross and run today though.

No. Didn't get booked first time

Mixed bag from Kev today but he was still star man on whoscored.com ratings: he still had a positive effect on the game for City overall.

 

[oldius]

That was a great win and that's all that was needed. Dias and Stones - magnificent.

 

[willipp]

KDB has done no more than flicker all season. I can't see him coming good without a solid pre-season behind him.

Yeah your right, he’s just not got fully going all season. Thought before he got injured he was starting to click again, but that injury looks to have put him back to square one.

 

[BluechesterCity]

Was always going to be a struggle with that starting line up, lots of energy and invention out of the side.

We looked stale with the likes of half fit players such as Sergio and KDB being asked to make the difference.

Kev upsets the current midfield balance and it also seems to impact Gundo in the final third?

For me, Zinchenko was absolutely outstanding.

Fern was vital is small moments but sadly it seems him and Sergio aren't coming on the rest of the journey with us, they don't have the juice :(

Mate, was basically going to say the same thing - you probably worded it better than I would have. Zinchenko was brilliant.

A huge win today!

Without a doubt. Even on an off day he's that good.
