West Ham - post match thread

[Dr Jacoby]

So from that starting 11 who comes out if you were to assume Gundogan comes in? I know it's a squad game and there will be many different line ups but if you had to drop one to put him in.

As harsh as it would be, I imagine Nolito will be the one to make way once Gundogan returns. Unless Pep decides that we can play three at the back, in which case it would presumably be Zabaleta.

Bravo
Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov
Gundogan, Fernandinho
Sterling, de Bruyne, Silva, Nolito
Aguero

First 45 was as good as it gets.
The aim now is to do that for 90 minutes.
If we play anything like that v the shite we will murder them.
Can't wait!

When all we have to moan about is loosing our stranglehold(and it was just that in the first half) on the game in a second half where we spurned 4-5 chances to put the game to bed before Sterling wrapped it up... I think some people must prefer to flap rather than relax and enjoy it, they never really got near our goal after they scored.

Full credit to Zabba for getting back to somewhere near his best, but his distinct lack of pace especially against a pacy and direct winger puts us under the cosh i agree a strong young left and right back is needed in future windows

Hope that's not the last we see of Nasri. Was just as we hoped....a perfect Pep player.

I can see Dinho dropping in as an inverted RB

You asked if the stats were for the second half.

I asked the stats on chances and attempts for the second half.

We hammered them both halves.

Indeed. I cannot understand where the narrative of ' City were under the cosh' comes from. We clearly had another gear or two, as demonstrated by the fact that we could have had 4 or 5 more after they scored while they only got close after it went to 3-1.

Add to that, Aguero would have scored the third if he had not been seemingly incorrectly called offside (just before they scored) and they scored while one of our defenders was clearly not in a position to defend.

We were clearly the better side.
