After their 1-1 draw, Manchester City midfielder Dietmar Hamann admitted West Ham could count themselves unlucky not to have taken all three points.
"With Cole up front they looked dangerous so I don't think we can complain about a point and West Ham can think they are unlucky to not get three.
"We had four or five quite sloppy performances (recently) and got away with it so we can't complain because in the last few weeks we haven't played well enough to get three points today.
"The defence has kept us in the league so far this year, but we have to start improving going forward."
