West Ham Vs City In Game Discussion Thread

Probably get abuse for saying this, but I think we could do a lot better than Dzeko and Balotelli.

They're not bad players, we just don't really take advantage of their strengths. We play this system of quick passing that favours good passers and ball control. Dzeko is good at finding the goal and fantastic in the air, he just doesn't pass or control the ball well. Our crossing is pretty shit at times, look at how Dzeko plays with Kolarov. Balotelli is always making these great runs, so it's got to be frustrating when Kompany hoofs the ball for a goal kick and Milner doesn't really offer anything here.

We will win this game, this is just an observation of Balo and Dzeko that I've felt since they came here.

Played some terrific one-touch football that half. Nice bright movement too. Slightly hits a brick wall around the penalty area though.

Kolarov could solve that with some nice crosses. We could be a goal up by now as I'm sure one of the free kicks we had he would of buried it.

Durham on TalkShit thought the Hammers goal was offside...

It wasn't - level with Dzeko

It was, his torso was offside if that counts...yep it does

Wont be making any snide comments to rag twats about helping hands for a few days.

Not a bad half, would get Sergio on sooner rather than later I think.

I think Nasri is playing well. There seems to be so many forwards they are getting in the way of one another. Also Mario trying hard

Difference between City and Manure this season - RVP

Balotelli had 3 chances, RVP take 2 of them!!!

When will we get a striker in-form this season FFS

Any one of the four will do!!!!!!!!!!

You really need to take your issues to a higher level. If not just suck up and see like the rest of us

I guess you could say his shoulder is offside, and you can score with your shoulder so technically he is offside but it's incredibly fine margins and the goal should probably stand.

nasri is having an excellent game. unheralded on here and even gets stick but he does what he does very well. keeps possession so well

We get one here we will get a hat full, yet again we don't play to Dzeko strengths of fast flowing crosses into the box, most of the time he's out wide. Balo playing well just that final third letting us down, I just wish when we surge forward we wouldn't check back when we get into their half, just push on towards the box, Nasri is the worst for this he should be pressing harder. Overall I think we will win this just need an early goal now and hit them on the counter as they try to equalise.
