Turned out nice again....

My takeaway: Walker obviously doesn't have Cancelo's craft, and with Torres ineffective, Aguero not sharp, and with KDB off form for much of the game, we simply struggled to keep the ball and tie the opponents up in knots in our own half as we have done so many times this year. Gabby improved hold up and link up, and Foden was much more competitive. Not a lot wrong with West Ham I felt. Very good win.
Agree with all that.Worryingly,Kev is fucking up even short passes.I'm sure he'll come through it but in the meantime he seems to be inhibiting Gundo so we have two players operating below their best.
 
Aguero got some mins, KDB got 90 and we won. All good from my point of view.

Always going to be hard playing wednesday night and then sat 12.30, even more so against the second most inform team in the prem. Sloppy first half, but think we controller the second half decently well and like I said, all that means anything is we got the win.

Who needs a striker anyways when you got these two CB's.

20 on the trot, 14 in the prem, 500 wins for pep career and 200 wins for him at city. Lovely stuff.

Pep Guardiola: "After 15 mins, we said today we're not going to paint something beautiful. Today is the day to take three points. In the second-half we were better, first-half we struggled. When you play a lot of games, a #UCL
game just two days ago, it's normal

John Stones: “It's part of us being such a good team and a collective. In big and important games everyone chips in. I'm just glad to get three points and keep this winning run going.
 
Another fantastic result and performance. Different skill set today, not about artistry and free-flowing football, but showing resilience and digging in when required.

Stones and Dias outstanding, as was Zinkchenko, who like Cancelo, is revelling in his role as a lb, stroke deep lying midfield playmaker. Walkers pace saved us on a number of occasions also.

KDB not at his best, but provided the decisive moment when required as did Mahrez. Fern put in a typical Fern performance breaking up play and linking things together.

Others positives game time for Torres and Aguero. Fantastic three points and another banana skin averted. Great effort lads
 
Never like playing against Antonio, very skillful a strong player but we just about did enough against him. I think we missed Rodri today, Dinho didn’t control the midfield like he usually does. Like Pep said post match, it wasn’t a pretty game but we fought hard and did enough.
 
Nervous as fuck! did not watch the 2nd half.
Didn't watch the 2nd half?
Are you Man or are you
ME!
Bit like that myself mate.
Couldn't bear to watch the last five minutes.
Keep walking in and out of the tele room as the clock winds down pretending not to care whilst quietly sh1tting myself.
For some reason I hate watching the game on the television on my own at home.
At the ground or on the tele in the club I'm fine.
Don't know why that is.
 
West ham have loads of energy in the center with rice and soucek. We struggled with kun and kev. It's easy to say we should have started with bernie and foden but only Pep knows how much physically they have used recently. West ham are decent and today we got away with one
 
Missed Cancelo Bernie and Rodri ....

We did, but we won a tough game without them, gave them a rest and got some important game time for Torres and Aguero.

It's an incredible run in difficult circumstances and hopefully we haven't picked up any injuries.

Stones and Dias were immense today, I thought Zinchenko did really well dropping in to midfield and Kyle Walker went under the radar, but had a great game and some crucial interceptions and challenges. Really important win which we were made to work for. The sun is shining and I really missed not being there for that one!

Exactly that
