"It's an aspect; we have grown up a lot in the last weeks. Especially [this game], we made a very big statement, but with the ball, still, we are not good enough. With the ball, we are not good, so we give away many things because we are not in the right spots to break the lines and make the next steps. Because the players are not courageous to do that action."
"City leapfrogged Arsenal into top spot in the Premier League table with the victory, ahead of the Gunners facing Everton later on Saturday. Erling Haaland scored twice, netting on either side of setting up Tijjani Reijnders' strike in the first half. In doing so, he passed 200 goal involvements in Europe's top five leagues (201). City have now won each of their last three Premier League games while keeping a clean sheet; marking the first time they have done so since December 2021."
Manchester City beat West Ham 3-0 at the Etihad to move above Arsenal in the Premier League. Erling Haaland scored twice and set up Tijjani Reijnders, taking his goal involvements in Europe's top five leagues to 201. City registered 17 shots (eight on target), 2.4 expected goals and six big chances while keeping a clean sheet in a third straight league victory. Despite the dominance and statement of intent, City need to improve ball play, positioning to break lines and player courage to execute progressive actions. West Ham sit 18th with ten defeats from 17 games.
