Just love the way Man City are keeping the ball now. Wish we could do the same really..

[rawcusk8]

Surely West Ham know if theres one player you close down right away its De Bruyne. Chelsea did this plenty of times last season, scrap through games without really being at their best. City have dominated but West Ham have shown no ambition.

[jillcwhomever]

All these City late goals are annoying but then, picture Mourinho’s face every time they go in and it doesn’t feel quite so bad.

Yes it does I can't stand either of these Manchester sides. For very different reasons. The only consolation is knowing we will improve still further. 

[MolbyLovesGravlax]

And the award for least surprising overturning a lead against a Moyes side goes to....

[Robinred]

Adrian hesitant to come out for a ball arriving in his 6-yard box. But West Ham put themselves under pressure every time their attackers fall over when they have the ball. They are some of the least sure-footed players I've ever seen. They must buy their boots from the same place Sturridge does.

They’re one of the unfittest teams in the division. Muscular injuries virtually every game.

Fellaini Boots

But they might as well...

Watching your team play like West Ham have, to just end up losing anyway, has to be annoying. If you're going to lose ( likely ), at least go down swinging.

[PhaseOfPlay]

Fellaini Boots

"Made from 100% Genuine Elbow"

[rawcusk8]

I love how animated Pep is and how his side keep the ball and how he wears such lovely clothes, I wonder if he bought them at the Black Friday sale.

[planet-terror]

Ah ffs.

[b_joseph]

Mangala, good god he's awful.

[Nick110581]

Fuck City.

I don't think I have ever seen a team have players who fall down more often than West Ham, really strange.

Oh for goodness sake, they should have equalised there.

[vallapureddy]

Mangalaaaaaaa

[BobPaisley3]

got the sound down low so I can’t make out what he is saying, but him and Tyler sound like they have lost a fiver and found sixpence. It’s just a miserable moaning tone from both of them.
Probably dreading next week when Rojo and that other feller, are trying to stop Silva, Sterling, Aguero, De Bruyne Sane and Jesus. Got a feeling De Gea will be busy at the back of the bus

Yep although city’s defence is shite too.

[BobPaisley3]

Exactly what I keep thinking. 

[deFacto please, you bastards]

How City payed 40 million for Mangala, i will never know

[jillcwhomever]

But they might as well...

Yes they probably will, doesn't mean they'll be unbeatable though.

[kennedy81]

appalling tracking back by City there, no one following Sahko in.

[NaivetyinBlack]

Mangala is absolutely terrible. What on earth is he doing there ? 

[12C]

Mangalaaaaaaa

Imagine if other centre halfs that we know let Arnautovic out tussle them. There would be apoplectic rage aplenty

[Samie]

But they might as well...

This City squad isn't AC Milan circa 1990 for fuck sakes.

[Nick110581]

Tyler and Neville sound bitter.

[b_joseph]

This City squad isn't AC Milan circa 1990 for fuck sakes.

All the reason to actually attack them, instead of treating them like 11 deities. And its over.

[Gerry Attrick]

They haven't played well in the last 3 games, unfortunately they won all of them.

[vallapureddy]

They will drop points next week.

[Nick110581]

They haven't played well in the last 3 games, unfortunately they won all of them.

Think United will beat them as I said yesterday

[jillcwhomever]

They haven't played well in the last 3 games, unfortunately they won all of them.

It still doesn't mean they can't be challenged. Especially if they start off games, the way they did this one.

[El Lobo]

Pfft, so many mixed feelings. Its always nice for Yernited to be feeeewwwming, and its always nice to hear Neville and Tyler feeeewwwwwwming, and its always nice to see Moyeseh feeeewwwwming. But its inside this horrible parcel of that horrible fucking team and twat of a manager, and we might actually be slightly in a title race if they didn't keep winning late.

Meh.

[puroresu_kid]

I think Pogba will be a big miss for Utd. Guessing City will rest a lot of players midweek while Utd will not as they need the result.

[Robinred]

Agreed Gerry. Begs the question why teams sneaking a lead then sit back and clear the ball aimlessly, inviting the inevitable. Fitness was an issue today, but whose fault is that given the sports science available to all?

[Gerry Attrick]

It still doesn't mean they can't be challenged. Especially if they start off games, the way they did this one.

They're not unbeatable but I think they're uncatchable. These are the kind of performances that need to result in dropped points for any other side to have a chance.

[rocco]

Probably best they’ve won as I can see United beating them next week

But I should want that thinking  we can catch them

[rawcusk8]

Fuck City we just have to keep winning, even if we dont win the title this time round we need to make a habit of going on winning streaks, we need to have a run in the champions league and there are other trophies to be won. Doing all this will help the team grow and challenge for the league, its harder for us as we havent spent a billion on our squad but we can achieve our dreams it may just take that bit longer than the Arab and Russian lottery winners.

[NaivetyinBlack]

Pep must get used to teams playing like this against them. No use moaning frustrated on the touchlines. Fortunately for them, they have the players who can almost guarantee chances afetr chances. Good practice for the game against a Maureen side.

They play the best football, score the most goals and will comfortably twat that shitstain of a manager and his horrible bunch next week.

[Gerry Attrick]

I think teams like West Ham and Newcastle started well because they feel they have nothing to lose to some extent and when they score the mentality changes to "We have something to lose now". Like a tennis player suddenly blasting winners when 2 sets down but going off the boil when they get it back to 2 sets all. 

[Golyo]

It didn't seem goalbound after Otamendi's touch, unlike Cou's second yesterday.

[jillcwhomever]

You would never think that West Ham could have beaten City though giving their situations. I would say it would be more possible against the mid- table teams that they would drop points, and may still do that, if they don't start off better.

[Kwaideng]

Tyler and Neville sound bitter.

Like Newton & Ridley the pair of aul nellies.

[Gerry Attrick]

There are no mid quality sides in the league though, there are 6 quality ones and 14 shit teams.
