Player on either side who covered the most ground; Kevin de Bruyne. No surprise. Any fan who can't see how good that second half was needs his vision checked. We were so good off the ball. West Ham barely had a sniff. The first half was poor but if we play like that second half we'll win 9 times out of 10. 72 per cent possession 88 per cent passing accuracy.

I remember watching Ireland v lichtenstein.

This was the same match.

Absolutely nothing to worry about on THIS match alone.

Well you can't win all games. Not too upset really. West Ham having a great spell (hope ya enjoy it Walmai). We where destined to peter off our winning ways anyway. Having lost these two games we need to up the tempo from the get go.

We was so slow in first half, pass pass pass sideward backwards anywhere but forward and I'm sorry but Yaya was the main one, 10touches and then pass it back. We do need to up the pace from the start, I don't care if they had 11behind the ball, pass quick and 1touch should see us get through. And what the fuck is wrong with sterling no pace going forward we know he can move with. The ball but not impressed with him at all

Haha you tit. I've seen you try and pick a couple of fights tonight. Shame you're not based in the UK.

Turnip!

Also: You'd beat me easily. Everyone would. Also, I don't do tickle fights.

Aguero should have buried that chance in the first half. He hasn't looked himself lately.

I have to say though, are people ready to accept bony being a huge waste of money? I like him, I think he's good, just not good enough for us.

Bony has played just 614 minutes for the club to date. If that's enough for you or anyone else to judge then have at it.

Grow up!

He is correct. Accept the truth. We let Edin go for a pedestrian like Bony.

He has shown that he has what it takes in this league.

He's no more pedestrian than Dzeko.



Why is he getting stick after that? There's plenty of others that should be getting stick before him.

He is nowhere near as good as Edin and like jovetic is not good enough.

However, he is not to blame for the result today.

Otamendi played himself into our best 11. Who he should partner I've no idea.

He's nowhere near to blame, that's why I'm telling Cit Revenge to grow up.

Bony's record so far is as good as Dzeko's was at the same time in his City career in terms of minutes played.

I have to say it...and I started the will he ever score again thread....I have no faith whatsoever and I mean whatsoever that he is either going to score or set someone up and for that reason I would not pick him again aside from his work rate blah blah blah....sorry just not good enough.
Very impressed with Otamendi and KDB though.
I'm very upset that Navas played 90 should have been replaced by Nacho man on 65-70.
As long as Utd don't win tomorrow we will have got off lightly for a very poor first 40 mins and I mean really poor !!!

I read he was fast, looks like he is running in slow motion.

Actually Martin Demichelis looks like our best defender, id let him partnering Vincent.

Harsh enough result on the balance of play.Thought the players dug deep second half but it just wasn't to be our day.

Not to take any credit from West Ham though bilic has them looking like a good side.

I have to agree I'm starting to have my doubts about Bony. I appreciate his ability to hold up play and bring others in to the game but he really needs to add goals to the mix soon.Impressive displays from Otamendi and De Bruyne today.

Can't believe we have lost that game but we are fucking hopeless upfront , Aguero is misfiring / not fit / a yard short of pace , Bony is just simply awfull and fucking Navas despite being in numerous unbelievable fantastic positions can't cross a ball or find a final pass to save his fucking life ,this cunt is frustrating the fucking life out of me and many other die hard supporters ffs !!!!
Another shit train ride home goodnight !!!

Well done West Ham, played their hearts out.

Navas does so much hard work tries his heart out but is close to useless when it comes to the key job he has which I assume would be to create and maybe even score goals. I would say if Roberts had as much of the ball today as Navas and as much of the space he found we won have won the game with ease.

Having seen the talent Roberts has ( and that's not just last week for the EDS v Juve) he is on a different planet to Navas and would either have scored or set up gilt edged chances today. Not 100% sure Kun or Bony would have taken them as both looked poor today but get Roberts on the pitch Mr Pellegrini he is ready.

Just got back. Why was Mangala taken off? Was he at fault for the second?
