Manchester City must learn to kill off opponents in the wake of Saturday’s 2-2 draw at West Ham, according to Gael Clichy.
“Really good team performance from @whufc_official”. It’s totally logically because this kind of popularity and money that all the teams have gives the smaller teams opportunity to close the gap.
Aguero nearly netted a stunning equaliser for City when he latched on to Toure’s pass and brilliantly chipped Adrian from a tight angle, only to be denied by the inside of the post. They can go out and buy another three Agueros.
The injury prone player has missed 11 games this season and also missed 27 in the previous two seasons.
“It important to demonstrate why we are here at Manchester City and the most important thing is to try to win the title this season”.
Since his return from injury the Argentine has five in his last five and 12 league goals so far this season.
Aguero made the switch from La Liga to Premier League as a 23-year-old, back in 2011 and has taken the league by storm since swapping the red and white of Atletico Madrid for the sky blue of Manchester City.
It took less than one minute for West Ham to make the breakthrough in the capital – Valencia firing a Cheikhou Kouyate cross past Joe Hart to send the home supporters into jubilation.
West Ham had the first real chance of the second period, but Michail Antonio could only head wide of the post after meeting an excellent cross from Mark Noble, who had been set-up by the impressive Payet. Whether he ACTUALLY forgot his dandruff shampoo for the day or not, we couldn’t possibly say.
In the 81st minute, Manchester City were able to tie the game at 2-2 through the likes of Sergio Aguero for the second time in the match. To be fair, the most consistent team is Leicester. “But if you are disappointed after playing [and drawing against] Man City then that’s good”. “I hope we work well as a team and get all the three points as these are the type of games that define champions”.
Injuries to key duo Aguero and Vincent Kompany have not helped their progress since those opening weeks, and Pellegrini’s side are still firmly in the race for the title at the start of 2016.

“Maybe a lot of time you can not score, but if you score four like we did last time, of course I’m very happy – it is the way we want to play and is the best way for this team to win titles I think”.
