They’ll miss the old ground when it’s gone.

Of course, next season they’ll be broad concourses, modern facilities and notable architectural features. The Olympic Stadium represents the future, even if it seems a little sterile by comparison to the Boleyn Ground.

But will they have evenings like this, when the likes of Dimitri Payet enthral fans sitting in stands so close to the pitch they seem almost to envelop the players?

Will the roar of that crowd shake the expensively-constructed new stands as it does at Upton Park, so that visiting teams with their multi-million pound squads visibly wilt under the glare of the rickety floodlights?

And will the new place sway with the momentum of the mood when West Ham attack with ambition, speed and incision as they did Saturday evening?

For last night was throwback to the best of West Ham: a team full of speed, energy and above all the astonishing skill of Payet which was a true delight to watch.

A magnificent game saw perhaps the save of the season from Joe Hart and two of the Premier League’s best in Payet and Sergio Aguero attempting to upstage each other.

Typical West Ham, they didn’t quite get there in the end. Having made Manchester City look tired and inept at times, they couldn’t hold out, though they almost nicked it at the end with a Cheikhou Kouyate header which crashed against the bar, the very last moment of the game.

‘When we got back in the dressing room my prayers and staff were so disappointed,’ said Slaven Bilic afterwards. ‘And that is good. I am disappointed, but my pride is bigger than my disappointment. We played well. We were confident. Other teams have done well against City by defending, but we attacked them in numbers. We played well as individuals and as a team. But the good individual performances were just the cherry on the pie.’

The Arsenal loanee was then forced off through injury following the incident and was replaced by new signing Sam Byram

And there was no shame in the draw. City are title contenders and when they attack, the do so with bewildering quality. And with Sergio Aguero on your side, all things are possible.

And yet when they defend, the do so with such scant attention to detail that it is hard to imagine them champions. It is the conundrum of this City side and one which ultimately Pep Guardiola will be hired to fix.

For now, it is Manuel Pellegrini’s task yet, presumably to spare his creaking defence and his captain Yaya Toure, he chose not to see the gaping hole in his title credentials. ‘I didn’t see that we had important problems in defence,’ he said. ‘We had an important lack of concentration in the second goal. But we didn’t see Joe Hart work too much in the second half.’


Aguero nearly scored a sensational goal when he lobbed Adrian from the corner of the box but the ball struck the post


Joe Hart pulled off a sensational save to deny Dimitri Payet after his brilliant curling free-kick during the first half

There was some truth in what he said, but only some. At times City look among the world’s best when they attack with vivacity. Yet they also conceded goals of shocking ineptitude.

West Ham started in exhilarating fashion. Only 50 seconds has passed when Kouyate picked up the ball in midfield and made Yaya Toure look like an old man as he simply surged past him. His cross was deflected into the path of Enner Valencia, who struck past Hart on 56 seconds.

Initially City responded well. Aguero saw a superb hooked volley on seven minutes and they achieved parity a minute later, Toure demonstrating just why it is hard to drop him when he delivered an exquisite pass to find Aguero on eight minutes, tempting Carl Jenkinson into a rash challenge which conceded a penalty. Aguero dispatched it in inevitable fashion.

Payet, who has been signing of the season, runs at the City defence again and produced another impressive display


Byram, who joined the club from Leeds, put in a good shift but suffered severe cramp in the final minutes

Yet the score-line was not reflecting the early the flow of traffic. Toure was lucky his trip on Kouyate was overlooked on 21 minutes. On 32 minutes, a superb interception and pass by Payet meant it was Michail Antonio’s turn to run at the old men in City’s defence.

Martin Demichelis made a calculated decision to bring him crashing down, daring Craig Pawson to send him off. He didn’t. Other defenders were scrambling to cover; whether they would have got anywhere near Antonio was a moot point. Slaven Bilic on the touchline was furious at the injustice of it all.

From the free kick came one of the moments of the season: Payet’s delivery was all power and precision and heading for the top corner until Hart, flying through the air, clawed it away. It was a sublime collision of world class goalkeeping and free kick taking.

Fabian Delph hit a post on 55 minutes but on 56 minutes West Ham were ahead again.

Quite how Nicolas Otamendi allowed Valencia to end up goal-side of him direct from a throw in, smartly delivered by Antonio, was not clear.

It would have been an embarrassment for a Sunday league defender let alone a £32m international.

Yet Valencia though muscled his way in front, with quicker reactions and an unmitigated desire and then had the easiest chance to finish from close range for 2-1. All Hart could do was rage at the shambles.

City tried to get on the front foot but only with the introduction of young Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho did they recover some energy.

On 80 minutes his run and pass to Aguero led to Aaron Creswell’s attempted tackle landing in the path of Aguero, who finished decisively from close range.

There was almost that twist in the tale when, in one final moment of showmanship, Payet delivered a free kick directly on to the head of Kouyate. It looped through the air, over Hart and crashed off the bar and the old ground sighed. They know they won’t be many more like this here again.

'He makes you want to go and buy a West Ham season ticket,' Jamie Redknapp's has his say on Dimitri Payet's 'fantastic' display

Jamie Redknapp spoke of his admiration for 'incredible' Dimitri Payet
Redknapp: 'He is all class and a joy to watch... he's an incredible player'
Payet's free-kick in first half produced one of Joe Hart's best ever saves

By Tom Farmery For Mailonline

Jamie Redknapp might not be a hardened West Ham United fan but Dimitri Payet's performance against Manchester City has left him wanting to buy a season ticket at the Boleyn Ground.

Sportsmail columnist Redknapp was providing analysis as a pundit live on Sky Sports' coverage of the 2-2 draw between West Ham and City when he lauded the French midfielder in praise.

He said: 'He makes you want to go and buy a West Ham season ticket.'

'He is all class and a joy to watch – the touch, the way he goes past players and his passing is fantastic.

'He's an incredible player. I love watching him. The guy is absolutely magnificent and as I say a total joy to watch whenever he's on the ball.'

Payet was instrumental throughout the match against City and proved once again why Slaven Bilic was so desperate to bring him to east London last summer.

The 28-year-old, who is working hard to earn a place in France's Euro 2016 side, worked tirelessly in West Ham's midfield and Man City's defence were on constant alert. Indeed, Joe Hart was forced to produce one of the best saves of the season when he saved Payet's free-kick in the first half.

And although he didn't score or assist, his performance was enough to capture the imagination of Redknapp, a player who prided himself on his creativity.

Payet and his West Ham team-mates left the pitch on Saturday to a rousing applause - a confirmation that there is absolutely no chance that the Hammers will start next season as anything other than a Premier League side when they move into the Olympic Stadium.

Indeed, the scoreline seemed harsh on West Ham given that they were nine minutes away from victory until Sergio Aguero cancelled out Enner Valencia's second half goal which had given Bilic's side the lead for the second time in the game.

West Ham's captain Mark Noble said his fellow players were right to feel a little disappointed about having to settle for a draw but insisted they couldn't have been any closer to a win.

'They're a top, top team but I just thought a little bit of luck went their way with the second goal. Against a team like that you've got to be proud of a point, but you could say I'm a little bit gutted,' he told Sky Sports.

'They had a lot of the ball but I thought coming off a bad performance last week at Newcastle, I thought we were back to our best and I've said we can compete with anyone when we play like that and we showed that tonight.

When asked about Payet's influence on the rest of the squad, Noble said: 'It's not a surprise for us because we see everyday in training. I think you see tonight, you realise it's not just the skills, the deliveries and the balls he puts in, it's the hard work, that's why he's a credit to himself and the team.'




Slaven Bilic mixes football with music as Russell Brand and Noel Gallagher rock and roll on down to watch West Ham clash

Rock and roll crossed paths with football on Saturday as West Ham manager Slaven Bilic posed for pictures with Comedian Russell Brand and Oasis star Noel Gallagher on Saturday.

When he is not leading the Hammers charge up the table, Bilic writes and performes lyrics for Rawbau, a prog-metal project based in his hometown of Split.

Possibly recruiting for his band, the former Croatia boss was in discussion with both Gallagher, a City fan and Brand - who is a massive Hammers supporter, prior to the evening kick-off against Manchester City, which eventually ended 2-2.

The West Ham boss hailed his opponents before the game as the best team in England, and was confident of inflicting a second defeat on Manuel Pellegrini's side, who were hoping to avenge the 2-1 loss they suffered at the Etihad in September.

'We have done it before, so we don't have to dream to do something that other clubs have done,' Bilic said.

Victories over Arsenal, Chelsea, City and twice against Liverpool already this season, has shown that Bilic's side are more than capable of hanging with the Premier League's so called 'big-boys.'

Pellegrini will be able to turn to Sergio Aguero for the clash, and the Argentine appears to put his injury struggles behind him with four goals in his last five appearances.

'Aguero is back on form and for me he is definitely of the top five strikers in the world,' Bilic said.

Sergio Agüero rides to Manchester City’s rescue twice in West Ham draw

Sachin Nakrani at Upton Park

If these are indeed the final few months of Manuel Pellegrini’s tenure as Manchester City manager then he might as well enjoy them and, in particular, being paid to watch Sergio Agüero. For sure, he took delight in seeing the Argentina striker show his clinical brilliance here. Agüero scored either side of half-time, with his second goal rescuing a draw for his team that they hardly deserved.

The visitors were sluggish in attack and sloppy in defence and looked to be heading for another away defeat when Enner Valencia scored himself for a second time on 56 minutes. The home supporters were in raucous voice, sensing their side were heading for a victory based on another show of vibrancy and determination at this venue, but with time running out Agüero struck in typically expert fashion, coolly lifting the ball over Adrián to secure his 15th goal of the season as well as a point for City that moves them ahead of Arsenal into second place before the Gunners’ match against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

City deserve credit for their refusal to roll over and die, coming back as they did twice from going behind, with Agüero cancelling out Valencia’s opening goal after just 53 seconds via a ninth-minute penalty. But a team of their quality and ambitions should not be in those positions in the first place and there remains the feeling that while they are in the thick of the title race, City will once again fall short. Without doubt Arsenal and Leicester, who returned to the summit after their 3-0 victory over Stoke, are playing better than Pellegrini’s men.

Not that the Chilean saw it that way after this match, claiming that with 15 matches to go (16 in Arsenal’s case) it is impossible to make any judgments about who will be crowned champions and that this match showed his team have what it takes to ultimately prevail. “It is important when you play away against a very good team like West Ham to try to win the three points, but if you cannot do that it is important not to lose, and that is what we have done” said the City manager. “We have added points and had options in the end to even win it.”

Pellegrini went on to insist his side are not overly reliant on Agüero yet there could no denying that without the 27-year-old City would have lost for a fourth time on the road. As has often been the case away from the Etihad Stadium, the visitors lacked zip in and out of possession, with Yaya Touré once again sleepwalking through proceedings, at no point more so then when Cheikhou Kouyaté drove past him with the ease of a man bypassing a piece of litter on the street before delivering the cross from which Valencia swept a close-range shot past Joe Hart to open the scoring.

Others in dark blue were also off the pace, most notably the wide players, Kevin De Bruyne and Jesús Navas, while at the back there was another reminder of just how clueless City can be without Vincent Kompany. For instance, there is no way the injured captain would have allowed Michail Antonio’s throw-in to sail past him and into the path of the lurking Valencia in the manner Nicolás Otamendi did in the build-up to West Ham’s second goal. “We were not concentrating” Pellegrini said, yet the more telling reaction came from Hart, who immediately after seeing the ball go past him berated Otamendi for being so lacklustre.

The goal was also West Ham’s reward for taking the game to their opponents. The hosts pressed with intensity, while their passing and movement showed purpose and intelligence. Valencia naturally caught the eye, as once again did Dimitri Payet, who caused City constant problems with his vision and skill and came close to giving West Ham a 2-1 lead at half-time with a curling free-kick on 33 minutes that forced Hart into a high, reflex save.

Valencia did nudge West Ham back in front shortly after the break but the individual contribution that stood out most came from Agüero. The Argentinian was constantly on the move, constantly looking to get behind the opposition defence, and having hit the post with a stunning one-touch volley on seven minutes he scored shortly after from a penalty he won himself, albeit Carl Jenkinson appeared to make only minimal contact with the forward as he surged into the area.

And then with nine minutes remaining Agüero was on hand to pounce again after Aaron Cresswell inadvertently diverted Kelechi Iheanacho’s driving run into his path. The fact he barely celebrated said it all – this was simply another day at the office for one of Europe’s finest finishers.

West Ham’s sense of deflation was only compounded by the sight of Kouyaté’s stoppage-time header rattling the bar but they should take a huge amount of encouragement from this match. Slaven Bilic certainly did, describing himself as “proud” of his team’s performance.

For City, there remains more questions than answers. Thankfully for them, and fitness permitting, they have Agüero to call upon.





Telegraph

Sergio Aguero double denies Hammers all three points

By Sam Wallace, Chief Football Writer, Upton Park

There is a crisis at their neighbours at Old Trafford, and there are much weaker squads than the one at Manuel Pellegrini’s disposal but all the same, you have to wonder why Manchester City have settled for such mediocrity as the title race starts to reach a gallop.

Sergio Aguero saved them with two goals, and it as telling that those two shots plus an effort in injury time at the end of the game was the sum total of City’s attempts on target. City emerged with a single point against a very good West Ham side but when consider City’s ambitions – and you consider their players – it should be so much better.

Rather than seize control of the Premier League title race, City have the handbrake on - dawdling along and hoping that results will remain as unpredictable elsewhere. There were two goals for Enner Valencia, the first of them within a minute, and more of the calamitous defending from City that we have come to expect in this new era of not coping without Vincent Kompany.

“When you play away against a very good West Ham side, if you can’t win the three points it is important not to lose the game,” Pellegrini said. “It’s a very close title race.”

Pellegrini believes that Aguero, with four in his last two games, is approaching his best again, which is timely for a City side that seems to be seizing up elsewhere. Arsenal will have a three-point lead over them should they beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and there were major questions about the performance of City’s defence, not least the usually reliable Nicolas Otamendi.

For West Ham this was another aggressive, hard-working performance decorated with the flourishes of Dimitri Payet and two fine goals from Valencia. Slaven Bilic confessed to some disappointment that his side did not win the game, especially when Cheikhou Kouyate’s header struck the bar in time added on at the end.

With performances like this, Bilic said, a top six finish was possible for West Ham who go fifth above Manchester United on goal difference. “If we realise that we have to dig in and first be a team – very compact and very aggressive then I have nothing against that belief [that they can finish in the top six],” Bilic said. “It’s a positive confidence. Without that knowledge [of how to accomplish it] it’s a road to nowhere.”

Just 53 seconds had elapsed before Valencia drilled a right foot shot from Kouyate’s deflected cross past Joe Hart and City looked like a team who had turned up late for kick-off. It carried on at much the same ferocious pace, and City drew level within eight minutes.

Carl Jenkinson flicked a right foot across the path of Aguero and took the Argentinian down for a penalty. Aguero lingered over his run-up long enough to figure out which way the West Ham goalkeeper Adrian was about to go and rolled the ball in the other corner. Shortly afterwards, Jenkinson had to be substituted.

In his place came Sam Byram, the £4 million signing from Leeds United, making his debut. Hart flung himself full-length at a Payet free-kick on 32 minutes to push the ball over the bar and there was a murmur of appreciation from all sides of the ground. The France international was a joy to watch.

The second West Ham goal was an unusual move, coming from a swiftly taken throw-in on the right from Michail Antonio who spotted Valencia’s run and flung the ball into his path.

Enner Valencia scores West Ham's second

Otamendi had momentarily switched off and when he finally appraised the situation he was the wrong side of Valencia and held off much too easily while the striker picked his spot past Hart. By then Pellegrini had sent on Raheem Sterling for the ineffectual Jesus Navas and Kelechi Iheanacho replaced Fabian Delph, who had hit the post earlier in the half.

Iheanacho’s exchange with Aguero took the former into the box and when Aaron Cresswell tried to intervene the ball fell nicely for the Argentine to score. City had made it out with a point.






Sport Witness

West Ham look to Man City target to replace Zarate

West Ham United have joined the race to sign Levski Sofia star Bozhidar Kraev, according to TMW. The attacking midfielder has also been linked with Manchester City, and the youngster recently had a trial with the club.

TMW have revealed West Ham are looking for a replacement for Mauro Zarate after he left the club last week to join Fiorentina. Zarate struggled to get games for the Hammers this season, and with West Ham keen to get him the Argentine off their wage bill they agreed to let him join the Serie A side before his contract ran out next year. However, they will face competition from Manchester City and also Real Madrid to land Kraev. This month the 18 year old had a trial with the Manchester club.

Kraev has scored ten goals in 34 games since making his debut for Levski Sofia in 2014. His performances in his debut season prompted the Bulgarian club to tie him down, and subsequently he signed a three contract which will keep him at Levski Sofia until 2017. Kraev has also represented Bulgaria at youth level.

Sander Berge (17) to West Ham

Kjetil Rekdal: - He is wonderful

KONGSVINGER (VG) Sunday flights Vålerengas very talented midfielder Sander Berge (17) to West Ham for a weeklong training camp. Chances for the contract shall, after the VG know, be good.



The boy was a giant in the half he played against Kongsvinger Saturday. He dominated so strongly from his midfield position that people in the stands sat and gaped in admiration.

Berge is of the same vintage as Martin Ødegaard and Kristoffer Ajer, and he turns 18 in February. The 1998 vintage of Norway maintains a high level, there is little doubt.

He will not be long in Norway, was the people's minds in Kongsvingerhallen. Now it turns out that that statement can quickly become a reality - today travels Berge, along with agent Mike Kjølø, to London and West Ham, who already have the Norwegian Martin Samuelsen in the stable, and as a sixth place in the Premier League.

Awesome God

There is talk of a "be-known-from-both-hold" -opplegg West Ham, who have already seen the 17 year old in several battles. Berge will train with the first team all week, plus a mandatory session with the U-21 team.

Vålerenga coach Kjetil Rekdal said to VG after the game on Saturday that it was impossible to say how long he is going to be in Vålerenga.

- He is stunningly good. I hope we get to keep him, but there is no guarantee it will be long, says Rekdal.

Sander Berge is 191 centimeters tall and strong that few 17-year-olds. Even Daniel Braaten is unable to shove away Berge training with Vålerenga last year.

Neither Mike Kjølø or Morten Wivestad the agent firm KeyPass AS will comment on the matter. VG got Saturday night not contact VIF Director Stig Ove Sandnes.
