Really fecking annoying at how good Dias has been for them

Shame that. Thought West Ham had played very well up until that point.
If Mcmanaman could stop describing things as 'delicious' that would be much appreciated.
Is this the final stage of total football? To keep both CBs upfront situationally for crosses from deep? 
A player not really rated by the Portuguese league watchers on here.
I think City will win the quad this season. It’s hard to see where the next drawn game will come from. This is Pep’s most balanced side.
Yep. Very like Barca in that sense, watched a lot of that Barca team and nothing really happened for large parts of the game even Messi was walking for 15 minutes at a time, then boom 4-0!
Ben Johnson is having one of the worst individual games I can remember. Dias has been Van Dijk level (probably better actually) since his arrival. Just because of him, Stones has been elevated and their defence is solved. Annoying.
I've accepted its going to happen. CL is the only slight hurdle left, but right now they look much better than every other team left. If they don't win it, it'll be done to some weird Pep self sabotage he seems to do in the knockout rounds.
Randolph has to come for that De Bruyne ball. The ball was floated, was in the air for quite some time, and the attackers has got a run on your defenders. As a goalkeeper, you absolutely have to charge at that ball.
They invest their energy into their pressing game.
31 minutes on the clock, nearly 70% possession, 2nd shot on goal they score, 1-0, they’re terrible to watch, possession football is entertaining when you have plenty of shots, City are winning games because they bore the opposition to death.
That was THE chance. Wankers.
Feeeck. Should have scored.
Targeting Ederson kick outs could prove successful when we play them it’s been a weakness of his of late..
City are in second gear today.
Antonio just Nani’d Jesse
EDIT. Phew. He didn’t.

West Ham with the deserved leveller, they've been well in this game!
Excellent!
West Ham the better side so far, deserved equaliser.
Yessss Jesse

I’m not getting sucked in 
Game on!
Well done to West Ham. Definitely deserved.
Lingard at the forefront of it again.

Lingard any god? Not watching the game.
The simple truth is, as long as you've got Lingard, you've always got a chance.
Deserved equaliser.
They’ve been the better side

It's the hope that kills. But here I am, hoping anyway
Yes, he is a god
City peaking too early in the season?
Could see the slowing down in next few weeks (Will still obviously win the league though)

Double city clean sheets gone, come on now West Ham, put them to the sword.
Jesse's found his level. Against Man City.
Yes. At the heart of all West Ham’s best attacking football. Same as every game he’s played for them. Some loose passes but he makes things happen.
Sorry but even if city drop points today, won't make a difference ultimately. Title race is over.It's the hope that kills. But here I am, hoping anyway
Same!It's the hope that kills. But here I am, hoping anyway
West Ham showing the way though. They’ve played sufficiently on the front foot when they’ve had the ball.
Too many teams are just lying down and taking it from City.
You’d still expect Pep to dip into his bench options to win the game comfortably.
Yes. He's been very lively. Heavily involved in goal.
Do you think Ole will take him back, or is this loan just to get a good transfer fee? Lingard strikes me as a big fish, small pond sort of guy.
Lingard is nearly playing his way back to Manchester....he'd have to keep this up for the whole season though. Too many flashes in the past.
All along he was da moyes boyz
Imagine they win this and go on to win the league. The meltdown here. Jesus, it would be hilarious.
