The Croat said he was “angry” at his side’s first-half display, which saw them two down inside 19 minutes to goals from Raheem Sterling and Fernandinho.

Sergio Aguero faces an anxious wait to see if he will miss the Manchester derby through suspension.

“Today in the first half he scored a goal but didn’t win too many defensive duels”. We showed our quality and you need to show keeping the ball and wanting to hurt them.

“I expect a few players back after the [international] break – Lanzini, Payet, Feghouli and hopefully Carroll won’t be long too”.

“After when he receives the ball, it is completely his talent”. However, West Ham boss Slaven Bilic said he was preparing to take off the New Zealand worldwide anyway. “My goal is to win trophies with Manchester City and our main objective is to win the UEFA Champions League”.

Guardiola was thankful that his team managed to survive an onslaught from West Ham in the closing stages after Antonio had put the Hammers back in the game and said there is still room for improvement.

“Samir arrived overweight but after one week, 10 days, it was fantastic how he trained, how he competed”. I try to adapt myself about what the manager wants as fast as possible. His quality is on another level but it depends on him.

City boss Pep Guardiola also missed the incident but is hoping that Aguero won’t miss the game against United because of it.

And Silva said: “The team is improving every game, we’re showing that on the pitch. We need Ilkay and Sane and all the guys because the guys who play today can not play every three days”. We have an bad lot of players missing.
