Even in our sloppy 2nd half West Ham had almost nothing. Should have been 6 or 7.
Didn't fucking touch him, but those Sky cunts determined to hang Sergio! Fuck off Quinn, fuck off Redknapp! Bog Brush and Costa get away with cheap shots week in, week out, I'll be outraged if the FA even look at it (but not surprised).

I thought our pressing wasn't as good in the second half. Had we taken our chances it wouldn't have mattered.No energy yet ran a combined 115km....6 more than West Ham, had 67% possession, just short of 600 passes and 22 shots.
Stop talking crap.

Are they the 2nd half stats tho?
No the full 90 as thats how long a game lasts.
We battered them on the whole and all they had was a spell of punting it long to the big lads.

Absolutely fantastic football.
Only downside is the lack of finishing off moves when it's easy & the instability/last ditchness of Zaba Otamendi etc when any kind of half decent move happens by the oppo.
Part of that caused by the midfield & Aguero losing half a yard but still we can't stop every long ball & it caused more trouble than it should, reminiscent of the Juve game last season.
Gundogan & Sané should fix that re midfield but imo we will need fullbacks with pace in the long term & Vinny in the short.
Nasri looked superb. Pity if he is going. But how can we fit him in ?
1st half perhaps the best ever team performance seen in the Prem if you consider skill workrate & tactical excellence.

imo he has to find room in his squad for Nasri still has the quality and did more in his time on the pitch than Aguero did in the whole s/half So glad we bought Aleks `Baresi` Kolorov
I feel like it was less our pressing and more that West Ham took advantage of our poor fullback play leaving us scrambling to get back into position too often.I thought our pressing wasn't as good in the second half. Had we taken our chances it wouldn't have mattered.

Don't disagree but if you think that we were at the intensity in the second that we were in the first that is what I would disagree with.

Great performance, we should really have scored more, West Ham a band of long balls thugs, don't know if their fans enjoy this kind of football, but whatever, we played brilliant football, happy for Nasri, it looks like he has a future in this club.
