Irons v Man City half time report

|

Irons 1 Man City 0

A magnificent goal from Antonio following fine work by Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal separates two sides of which the Irons were the better.

Defensively we have been magnificent with the Czech right back outstanding and after a Manchester City dominated first 15 minutess or so the Hammers took control and might have had a second from Antonio who saw the City keeper save at his feet.

That Lukasz Fabianski has not had a shot to save tells us everything despite the visitors have a good share of possession.

The three at the back system is working really well and midfield looks excellent. OK, there’s 45 mins to go and we have all seen the second halves we can sometimes produce.

But if we maintain this level of performance we are on course for a big result. City’s bench looks awesomE bit it really is a case of COME ON YOU IRONS
