Match Thread | West Ham vs Man City (10/08/19)

Aye. But he'll never be lethal enough to replace Aguero, just not a goalscorer - we need to sell and get Mbappe of course.

I mean, as much as I like Gaby if we could sell him and get Mbappe then that's probably a good deal!

We look pretty comfortable without being anywhere like our best.

Kev looks off the pace. Rodri growing in to the game. Mahrez started well but gone very quiet.

It’s great having our squad (:

Solid first half, looked good defensively, bit rusty going forwards unsurprisingly.

Main area of concern is them lofting balls up to their forward, seemed to win a lot and be able to knock it down to one of their players; need to start winning the challenge or the second ball.

Mahrez bright for first 25 mins but then slowed, Sterling/De Bruyne not quite firing yet. Jesus sharp.

How have we not scored again?

Sterling being very lazy defensively imo

I’m liking the look of Rodri and his twin brother. They’re every fcukin where.

 

[kanovic]

We will only get better. Loving Rodri so far think he will immense for us.

hmmm, good to be ahead considering a lot of our play has been sloppy. Raz KDB and one or two others are off the pace, excellent so far from Kyle, Mahrez, Laporte

 

[heslops barnet]

I like Rodri is pulling in some tactical fouls. We've missed the high intelligence tactical fouler since Barry left

Tactical fouls....frowned upon by pundits

 

[SebastianBlue]

Not our best half of football, by any means, but it is the first match of the season, away in London, we are winning, and just began to control the game in the last 10-15 minutes, so nothing to be too concerned about.

Sterling having one of his stinkers but at least you know he'll keep going.

And probably score.
