    That's what people are saying, he gave a piece of paper that had stats from sunday's game to journalists at the press conference, proving that we didn't play long-ball on sunday.

    Rafa had Fahks, LVG has Stahts.

    Sounds about right.

    LOL, Sam got under his skin, are we (WHU) Fergie'ing one of our competitors for that coveted 4th spot (I don't believe for a moment we'll be any higher than 6th come May).
    TBH I don't see why LVG is being so defensive about it, he changed his game-plan, went long-ball to Fellaini and turned an away loss into a draw.

    I'm not entirely sure, but what exactly is the rule that prevents any team from changing tactics to win a game. Last time I looked it was up to each of the managers of the teams on the pitch to decide how their team will play, not the opposition manager. Like WHU wouldn't have spent the entire game playing Route 1 to Carroll.

    exactly, rather than cry about it and bring out a bunch of stats why not proudly point to the fact he changed his tactics and got something out of the game. I'd say he's starting to really feel the pressure

    I refuse to believe this until I see some stats.

    Real stats that is. None of your made up internet stats. I want stats that are photocopied on a couple of tatty pieces of A4. That is all that will convince me of the rightness of your argument <ok>

    Not interested.

    If you'd like to print it out, staple it together and wave it in my face on the other hand, then we can talk <ok>

    Most teams launch it into the box for the last few minutes when they're trying to salvage a draw. The fakht that they're losing suggests Plan A has failed. That said, the only reason it was a salvage mission was because we played most of the game without any strikers.

    Long Ball Louis is feeling the pressure but the way he bit on Allardyce's bait was embarrassing
