This game was definitely not a surprising result. One almost would have expected big same to start a weaker side than he did but pride was at stake. The return of both James Tompkins and Kevin Nolan after suspension was good as was Andy Carroll's first start in almost 8 months!
Unsurprisingly City were the ones to strike first. It only took Negrado 3 minutes to find the net. The up and coming Spaniard headed in unmarked inside the area. Shocking defending as usual from West Ham. Another terrible piece of defending lead to Aguero breaking through and slotting the ball home for city's second in the 24th minute. We improved after that but city were sitting back. to my surprise we had more possession but in typical West Ham fashion we failed to do anything with it. After half time the disappointed West Ham fans were met by more of the same. City, who were looking to finish off the game, started attacking once again. some neat passing from City lead to Negrado's second of the game. More weak defending! Surprise surprise... The game ended 3-0 and to big Sam's joy it wasn't another six nil loss.
This game was an improvement from some of our recent games but in order to beat Chelsea we must keep improving. Our strikers must be more clinical and the possible return of Winston Reid could be vital to avoiding relegation.
