Last year city had a few tight games and scored late and won each time to dominate the league.
Last week they couldn't.
This week they've done it..., Newcastle need a goal now

Was it a crisp shot?
No chance. They are broken and will be exposed against quarter decent teams.
Our defence is built on Van Dijk, theirs is built on Luiz [HASHTAG]#endof[/HASHTAG]
Man Utd's defence is built on Rojo
I thought it was built on scapegoats with a sinking sand foundation?

Pelligrini strikes me as the wrong type of manager for West Ham and their approach to development seems bad.
They've tried a Man City type of advancement, buy 'name' players for big fees. But half arsed, so they've bought some bigish name players for bigish fees and haven't bought players to fit a system. Instead they've just bought players and are trying to shoe-horn them in. So ended up with a mish-mash of players that just don't work.
They'd be better taking a more steady approach, going for a young up and coming manager, like Howe, and buying the players he wants to fit a system that works, and then start to spend bigger on bigger names. Sure it'd take longer, but it would mean more stability and better progress.
They're trying to jump too far too quickly.

You know you're ****ed when Pogba is your captain
Our defence isn't fantastic, but we have the most clean sheets since Van Dijk came in
Trying to get the lazy ****er to turn up, it won't last if it doesn't work.
Any thoughts on Henderson as captain?
And Roberson got game time and the keeper was changed to Karius and the midfield was reorganised to help defence more.
van Dijk has probably made about the same difference as any of the rest of that but is far from making it on his own.
Man Utd didn't even play today but just because we won [HASHTAG]#bbcsalford[/HASHTAG] rage at him out of nowherehttps://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45368281
