Juventus striker Simone Zaza has joined English Premier League side West Ham United on a season-long loan, the Italian champion announced on Sunday.
With both Manchester clubs boasting 100 per cent records after three League games, something will have to give in the forthcoming derby when Guardiola will renew his managerial rivalry with Jose Mourinho.
Regarding the Aguero incident, in which the Argentinian seemed to elbow Reid in the neck, Guardiola claimed he did not see it.
Noble said: “I don’t know what it was about really but I know he can’t really talk”. Bilic explained. “To me, it was a game of two halves. He said it was because he had got something in the throat”. “Hopefully nothing happens. If it happens, we accept and adapt and we will try our best”.
Raheem Sterling opened the scoring for the home side in just 7 minutes. “I’m happy for him, for us and for the national team”.
Pep Guardiola’s title hopefuls burst out of the gates early on against the Hammers, and were two goals ahead within 18 minutes after Raheem Sterling and Fernandinho struck against the listless visitors as they struggled in a 3-5-2 formation.
Niall Quinn was of the same opinion when he spoke on Super Sunday, citing a weak mentality in City’s players as they struggled to three points in the latter stages.
For his third league game in charge of City, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager again picked Willy Caballero in goal rather than Joe Hart, and the Argentine was not troubled for nearly an hour until Antonio’s unexpected intervention. The lead was doubled by Fernandinho header from a Kevin De Bruyne free kick shortly afterwards. City looked unstoppable in the first-half.
