West Ham United take on Manchester City in the Premier League this afternoon. Pundit Rodney Marsh has taken to Twitter to suggest that West Ham United may need to employ damage limitation

against Manchester City this afternoon. The Hammers were thrashed 4-0 at Everton in midweek, as the then-struggling Toffees ran riot at Goodison Park in a demoralising defeat for Everton.

New manager David Moyes was brought in as Slaven Bilic’s replacement last month, but remains in search of his first win having taken just one point from three Premier League games. The Scot

desperately needs a victory to kickstart West Ham’s battle against the drop, but they face the biggest possible test yet – and the last team they would want to face right now. West Ham

defence. Ahead of the game, pundit Rodney Marsh has taken to Twitter in order to offer his thoughts on the game, firstly praising City for their performance in the 2-1 win over Southampton

in midweek. Marsh added that if West Ham concede early, it ‘could be carnage’ at the Etihad Stadium, and given that they don’t have the players to chase the game, they must employ a ‘damage

limitation’ tactic this afternoon to try and escape without a hammering. >> I watched Man City tonight, well below their best, create 26 goal > scoring chances. West Ham can not
