West Ham United 0-5 Manchester City: Five Talking Points | Premier League 2019-20

#1 Manchester City hit the ground running in pursuit of historic 3rd title

West Ham United v Manchester City - Premier League

Manchester City has now won 2 consecutive league titles, amassing 198 points, and scoring around 180 goals. Last season, Manchester City scored 95 goals and in the first game this season, they have banged 5 goals. It is worth noting that it was an away game, against a team that looks great on paper, and importantly, a team who conceded only 3 in their last 13 Premier League games.

Manchester City is leaving no screws unturned. Pep was infuriated by the positioning of his midfielders following Ederson's brilliant double save, a phase during which the Cityzens struggled for composure. The bald genius also gave a Pep talk to de Bruyne after his substitution, when most coaches would save it for another day owing to what he showcased on the pitch.

Raheem Sterling has started with a hattrick, Laporte looked composed against a dangerous Haller, both fullbacks are performing well in attacking zones, de Bruyne looks sharp, Mahrez was good too.

All this and still having Cancelo, Aguero, and Bernardo Silva on the bench. The squad depth is insane and this team should strike fear. No matter the fact that they lost out in quarters of UCL, they look threatening to challenge for a quadruple yet again, and they are chasing their city neighbors for a milestone - 3 consecutive PL titles.

Only Liverpool, Arsenal and Huddersfield have achieved it and that was before the Premier League era.
