West Ham - Post match thread

Outstanding performance.
Just wish we'd thrash someone 8 nil and not ease off. Sure that day is not too far round the corner.
 
I think we are sorted, with Kun and Itchy added to hat we have, especially considering we have at least three midfielders and wingers who can rotate in there, and maybe a youngster who can grab a game. Problem now is keeping everyone happy!!

Kun did not look well pleased on the bench (tbf, who would?!), but after that game who COULD you drop based on performance, and do we have to nurse him along after an injury? I love Sergio as much as the next man, but coaches play Systems and if you don't fit the system, that's a problem...as Zlatan found at Barca.

I hope against hope that Sergio has another gear...or two...in him, because these young guns are just getting warmed up and are a couple of steps ahead already...at 19, 21, and 22 today, and that's not including Itchy!
Who dat?
 
Sometimes folks need to see these things to understand it. If someone has argued we would have been better with Sanchez than Aguero. Most would cry blue murder. But watching young Jesus on a day like this shows how that is true.

Aguero is individually great, players like Gabriel and Sanchez are team good. They add a fluidity you can't measure in individual goals.
Exactly. I'm convinced more than ever that Aguero will move on this summer. The 'fit' just doesn't look right any more. The team is moving in a new direction and Aguero at the moment looks incapable of moving with it. Hopefully that will change, but it doesn't look too promising for him. Even his desire doesn't appear to be particularly great. Yet he'll need a lot of that to make this work. We keep saying we're seeing the future with Sané, Jesus and Sterling, but we may also be looking at the present! These guys look far too good to ignore.

It's the present. With Aguero holding it off till season's end with great individual perfomances or having a sub role. Both advantage City.

Why? We've a game on Sunday and the midweek CL games come back soon, given that half time score I'd rather sit back and kill teams off when the chance presents itself.
 
He just hasn't made the most of the game time he has been given and at this level I think you have to. We shall see.
I said this for a while now that he was out in the summer. Even before GJ got here. You could just see it wasn't gonna pan out for him with the way we bought in the summer.
 
If sterling could shoot he could have become the best player in the world one day, ridiculous today raheem!
 
Pep: "The gap is too big, just Chelsea can lose the Premier League. But we'll fight until the last day to qualify for the Champions League."
 
That front five of Silva, De Bruyne, Sane, Sterling and Jesus was just unplayable tonight. West Ham let us play and didn't put pressure on the ball but I don't think anyone could have stopped us the way we played in fairness.

Sane just plays like someone has created him as a player on FIFA, it should be impossible to be that big, strong, quick and have such incredible technique.
 
I was very impressed with the desire to win the ball back when we lost it, our pressing caused the mistakes that lead to goals
 
When we bought Sane, we forgot to flip his switch from Demo mode to Full mode. Sorted now. What a player. His height gives him an advantage as well.
