#3 West Ham looked disjointed as a team
As Manuel Pellegrini's side went into the new season with a renowned sense of optimism and hope, they were brought crashing down to earth as the reigning Premier League champions ran riot in the London Stadium.
The Hammers never got going and failed to make an impression in the game, as Manchester City overcame a slow start to register a comprehensive 5-0 victory.
Sebastien Haller, the club's record signing, spearheaded the attack and although he put in a shift, he was largely left isolated upfront.
The Frenchman was lively in the opening stages of the game but faded as the game progressed as the Londoners were pegged back by Manchester City's brilliance in the final third.
West Ham looked disjointed all throughout the pitch, especially at the back as Manchester City ran riot in the second half to register a comprehensive victory.
Pellegrini's men need to work on their shortcoming and the new signings need to get going quickly if there are to have a successful season.
