West Ham United v. Manchester City | PREMIER LEAGUE HIGHLIGHTS | 8/7/2022 | NBC Sports
Citation, if we have a little look at the West Ham team, no new players in that starting lineup. No, and the gear Central Defender. It just not pass fit, which pushes pushes Creswell into the middle. He’s played there before. Not ideal against Manchester City, but he’ll fill in there. Its back and Declan Rice’s, you check for me, just really partnership in the Midfield, one goes one stays there, very unselfish, they have a great understanding and and by Declan his own admission, he wants more production for himself, he wants to get amongst it. Holes. And so
I look to see that from him this season and schemata up front. Who are they, who they bought brought in from Syria. Again, he has a past fit yet. So, mr. West, Ham you kill Antonio starts up front how the city get the best out of Harlan, Harlan. Well the answer is easy. If you free up Kevin De bruyne in at number ten role there. And the way that happens is with no fernandinho him leaving the club, Kevin Phillips, not quite ready to start going to wobble partner Roger just at the base of the Midfield
giving that support and Doing de Bruin to operate more freely, and we know with his passing range, he’ll be able to open up doors
way to Bowen who fired into the crowd For now else whipped It Again. By Mikhail Antonio, there are two level 19 this game and to not forget, not West. Ham’s is a mighty effective one. Whenever the ball comes into the box with that pace and power, you’re always gonna cause defenses trouble. A candy ice. When they’re gonna have plenty of this, and he just waits for the ball, the angles there. He just needs to get a tiny little touch on it. Just looking down. Looks like Edison’s took some sort of a not great header because
that’s behind him. Audrey. Hello, folks, in by Fulton Holland. Couldn’t, that’s lovely football from Manchester City. They use of these narrow fullbacks. As you picked up, Peter, causing all sorts of problems to West, Ham’s wide players, Boeing not being able to track the Run of can say, oh, and then that falling. Again, we’ve seen a couple of excellent in swinging crosses from either side. This one just flicked in by folding just over the head of Harlan. Got it all those to give it back walker. The breiner Fabian ski, got a fist on it and to
very good effect at some personal cost. It’s been a collision between two West Ham players here. British. Harlan, good strong touch for Elk. I go under one flag is raised. Finally Harlan gets a little touch of the ball and the edge of the penalty area. It’s a lovely little ball in good strength, to go under one’s actually already in the on-site offside position. I should say, in bore the 12, was for grealish who I think would have been in. I’m afraid though, the headline becomes rather than a goal, a goal keeper because Lucas Fabian ski
hasn’t been able to recover from. That crash a few moments ago and he is going to be replaced by a more than able Deputy. Of course, at Alphonse, areola the French keeper, the Parisian Hello Grandma. One slip through here for Holland, who’s taken down by areola and Michael Oliver points. Well, it took him a while to get used to his runs whatever on and it was that man gunned down again we said just picks the ball up turns and it’s perfectly weighted. There’s the torch. No doubt about it. 22 years old and young. And who
pays to feel? No pressure, it rolls off him big broad shoulders his moment. Sing hunt. You’ll see that a few times more composure certainty, self-assurance Beyond his years and the Champions are ahead on day one. Well, we did intend to speak about this player before the game, and how he would deal with the spotlight. Well, there’s the answer. He’s at his happiest when he’s on the pitch. Looks at his most confident in those situations to lovely finish. Never looked in doubt. It’s all about the early pass when gundo and picks the ball up. If he’s
no one within two yards of him as first thing is, I’m just going to turn. I’m going to hurt you. The city last season didn’t lose a single game when they scored the first goal of the game. 27 and threw one of 28. When scoring first foden to Broiler, Here Comes Holland. There is good, the one and he’s pulled across the face. And I just had a glance each other just before this move saying how slow the game was. But it’s exactly what city do. Brilliantly, sedate slow pace book. Will then suddenly spring to life,
the movement of De bruyne, ER, found well, beautiful ball. In inviting anyone to get on the end of it, Harland arrived, just slightly late. Gonna run couldn’t quite hit the target with the angle. What else Thomas? So check. So foul that didn’t quite catch it. Rotary to bring up there goes Holland, he’s on his way again, he’s hungry, he scored, he always does. He always will nothing more certain than the earlier Holland word slap, his name across this game. Proud proud dad and he’s not the only one. You just knew you just knew he wouldn’t
miss. Well that’s what he’s added to this city team that’s threatened behind with electric Pace. They’re under a bit of pressure City. They get the ball, the game gets a little bit stretched. Look at the movement. Brilliantly time, run Johnson has to set off a bit early. Just to give himself a chance that plays him on side. To Brian, with his head up. Phone coming in off that line. And soon as he opens that body up, you can see just gets onto his favoured left foot and passes into the net, but there’s that speed again.
Heinie’s power, gets himself into position and makes that finish look ever so easy. It’s a brilliant goal to centre-backs Johnson and zoom are just simply not good enough to be able to stop that. Got to be chatting, amongst yourselves. He runs off Johnson into the space behind Zoomer Hello, I’m the one hole now. You see him? Now, you don’t To bring it around the back. Zoomer from in front of Harland greenish. Invite greenish Holland. Hi. He wants it. Once it does look at his run, I’m see this on the replay but where he is now
as a little lot. Where’s the space in front? He backs off, he backs off that creates the space in front of him. It’s the story. They all came to see told Pep Guardiola has massive summer investment pays off, instantly erling Holland was written as the hero of the day and he duly performed as such with both goals efficiently, taken clinically taken, one from the spot of title T he himself had earned and one from open play in the second half, which, from three, four, five, six, Seven seconds out was utterly inevitable. He looks as though
his shoulders are broad enough to Bear the responsibility of stardom. He seems not even to have broken sweat and West Ham felt the full force of the Premier. League’s newest Megastar for West Ham. Surely no need to panic, this is a fixture. Ticked off, the toughest of them all one. They can leave behind them and start again next week. But Manchester City, surely they have started and they have started hugely, effectively in the Summer Sunshine, they strolled around an Olympic stadium with Olympian style, and they have an athlete here that they will surely cherish for
the weeks and months and Seasons to come Rebecca. Erling Harland has arrived
