Shearer hits out at Hammer

West Ham

Alan Shearer has hit out at Nayef Aguerd’s “poor” defending as Manchester City took the lead with their second goal against the Hammers at the London Stadium.

Speaking on Match of the Day the former England striker admitted – per West Ham Zone –  the Hammers needed to be “at it every single time” but the Moroccan’s was at fault in allowing a goal which turned the game,

Aguerd attempted a head as Bernardo Silva took control  into the box as Aguerd’s header just missed the ball, and the City star had no trouble scoring.

Shearer said: “In the way that they defend, you have to be at it every single time. That is difficult in any game, let alone in a game when you’re playing against some top, top-class players.

“Just enough is not enough against this [Manchester City] team. Poor clearance [by Aguerd], didn’t time his header at all.”
