West Ham look absolutely frightened of City. Its like what Mike Tyson used do to opponents, beat them before the fight has even started.

I would absolutely love for WH to be relegated, wouldn't miss them in the slightest. Horrible club with even worse section of fans.

City don't even have to do much WH are just outrageously shit and exemplify the 'can't be bothered' attitude in this game, very poor from Bilic this season so far.

Thats exactly what people are doing. So far during their games I've heard every excuse in the book to avoid giving them credit and to avoid admitting that they look a good side.

They've been pretty impressive so far. That's all you can say.
Well they struggled to beat David Moyes' Sunderland at home. Took a penalty and an own goal to get the win. Not that impressive imo. We play them in two weeks so let's see how that game goes. Good test for them and for us. I'm confident we'll beat them.

Do those City fans that have bothered to turn up today want to sing about something other than Manchester United?

To be fair to West Ham, they have so many injured offensive players.

That is exactly what Man United used to have at Old Trafford, Mourinho will most likely bring the fear factor back to the club.

They look very good today. But their previous games I've been thoroughly unimpressed.

That was first game of the season after an awful preseason. They have developed a lot since then. I'm not sure how the game will go at all against us, not confident but not scared.

They will be the biggest test so far. I feel we will beat them too. Mourinho likes to dominate.

City's pressing and counter-pressing is working very well. West Ham can't catch a breath.

West Ham could have done with having Payet, Feghouli, Carrol, Lanzini and Cresswell fit to start.

Wouldn't have to be playing the donkey that is Tore.

Not to mention that 4-1 win at Stoke looks good on paper but it was 2-1 in the 85th minute. So it's not like they put up 4 goals in the first half and then Pep decide to park the bus or something.

Totally agree. It was a good win but nothing special.

Their defense plays near the middle line. Surely Mourinho is going to exploit that with fast players.

City defense still isnt very good. Zlatan and Mkhitaryan will be having a field day.
