West Ham lost to an in-form Manchester City away at the Etihad after fans pleading to give Ashley Fletcher a chance Slaven Bilić listened and gave the youngster his first Premier League start of the season.
Manuel Lanzini was another name on fans lips today after he was included in the squad for the first time this season after he got injured just before the Rio Olympics. However, questions have been asked to where Dimitri Payet was with him not being included in the match-day squad.
Slaven went with an unfamiliar 5-3-2 formation with Collins, Reid and Ogbonna as the centre backs with Antonio and Masuaku out on the wing backs. Töre played an unfamiliar role in centre midfield today and clearly didn’t enjoy the role as well as showing his poor set pieces again.
After a poor first half West Ham came out second half and seemed to try to attack Man City, Agüero is lucky that he stayed on the field after the referee missed a clear elbow on Winston Reid.
