We also continually have people spouting off opinions that are simply not backed up by facts.
I have to say that I liked DD's post about decision making on page 184. Just because things do not work out does not necessarily mean the manager made a bad decision but it seems like some maroons think that; just as they seem to think that if City lose the opposing manager has tactically out thought the manager. Yeah, it really was Big Sam's brilliance that accounted for City having 66% of possession and almost twice as many goal attempts as West Ham.
Funny. You know we lost the game, right? And you know Alladyce said he prepared to expoloit our weaknesses in midfield and centre back? It doesn't matter how much possession we had, we lost the game.
I'm sure Alladyce sent his team out to exploit our perceived weaknesses last season too, when we beat them 4 times, scoring 14 goals and conceding just 1. You can't beat everyone all the time, eventually West Ham were going to beat us, prior to this season we'd beaten West Ham 8 times, and drawn twice, in the last 10 games. It was February 2009 when they last beat us, in the Sheikh's first season at City. In fact, prior to this season, West Ham had beaten City once in our last 18 meetings!
