No Frank, you wrote "been to all", so 'seen' doesn't even fit that sentence if it was a typo. Just don't blag that you've been to the games mate, your points are still valid even if you haven't.

Actually I've pretty much stated in detail my issues with the west ham game.

So please tell me how unsworth went from a playing style that conceded 20 goals in 7 matches and scoring 8. Being in charge of our worst ever game in Europe and in the leauge. To a playing style that was totaly different with a different philosophy that was more akin to oh I dont know say sam allerdyce who jusy so happened to be around finch farm sorting out his contract with us. Also a style that allerdyce implemented in other games at home.

Strange that unsworth waited till allerdyce had been signed on as our new manager to bust out this new revolutionary way of playing. It's...it's almost as if he had a bit of help:eek:.

Fact is all the allerdyce haters can't bare the fact that unsworth wasn't the driving force behind that win. Not because of some loyalty to unsworth or even because you believe it. No, it's purely down to the fact that if you look at the facts and admit the truth that allerdyce had something to do with the west ham match. Then you loose the main stick you've all been beating him with and have to admit unsworth was worse.

I'll wait for your smart ass reply seeing as you cant think of a actually credible retort.

What utter unsubstantiated twaddle.
Facts are Unsworth had control of the team weeks prior.
Unsworth trained and selected the team to face West Ham and devised the tactics.
Unsworth managed the game from the touch line.
All of this is inarguable. So how did our oversized gravy boat intercede exactly? Telepathy? Did he put his bucket of KFC gravy down at some point to stand and shoot HOOOOOF! just before Rooney’s wonder goal.?

He can’t seem to win. Koeman and Walsh were panned for the summer recruitment. Allardyce comes in and attempts to reverse it and gets criticised for it.

He’s made mistakes with us and the football is poor but the squad he was dealt with the injury crisis was probably the worst in the prem.

With Coleman Funes Mori snd Baines our we didn’t have a fit defender of premier league quality. Our strike force was the worst in the league. That is a relegation formula whichever way you look at it. His initial burst when he came in may have just saved us.

I honestly can’t overstate just how crap the fit playing squad was when Allardyce came in.

Not sure how, but it only just dawned on me the other day how injury hit our whole defence has been for most of the season. Probably because Funes Mori wasn't exactly seen as first choice and because Baines started the season. But as suspect as Funes Mori can be at times, I think he'd have made a big difference, purely for the fact that he is left footed, but also has age on his side.

When all are fit i'd like to see Coleman - Keane - Mori - Baines, but obviously Baines needs replacing in the summer (now ideally but not going to happen), and we'd ideally be looking at bringing in another better quality centre back in.

As poor as it's been this season, injuries have had a significant impact.

Funes Mori would make it all worse.

He's absolutely terrible.

Never forget vs Chelsea at home where, under no pressure, he strides two yards out from our box with it and boots it out for a throw.

Terrible.
