West Ham fans were not impressed with Manchester City star’s comments.
West Ham made Manchester City fight for their 2-1 win at The Etihad, having led at half-time.
A late goal from David Silva was cruel but inevitable, as Pep Guardiola’s side kept up their winning streak.
City were heavy favourites heading into the fixture, and were expected to beat West Ham easily.
It was to the credit of David Moyes’ side that they made their opponents battle, although City’s Fabian Delph was not impressed.
Delph told The Mirror: “It was difficult, teams seem to come here and get every man behind the ball, not interested in anything but parking the bus.”
Delph’s comments did not go down well with West Ham fans, who know full well if their side had attacked City, they would have likely been beaten heavily.
They suffered a morale sapping 4-0 loss away to struggling Everton the previous week, and Delph’s comments were ignorant of West Ham’s situation.
David Moyes’ tactics very nearly worked, and City will have to get used to breaking teams down, but West Ham gave as good as they had to offer.
