West Brom (A) | Post-Match Thread

Fat Sam being a slapped arse and not coming out to do his post game interview.

Just been dicked and the officials partially fucked his team over with that flag. Can’t say I blame the bloke. Especially with the state of the UK media who will be asking all sorts of ‘hard of learning’ questions.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Just phenomenal.

 

[Bluearmy]

The next best among the top 4 is Leicester's +14.

Big change in just a few short weeks

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

RAWK not happy. The baggies wouldn't have caved like this against them.

 

[TueartsOHK]

MOTD at 11pm said he’s still not emerged to do an interview

Definitely too embarrassed. Unless he’s found a stash of doughnuts in the changing rooms

 

[Proy]

The fluidity and interchanging was amazing.

I actually think we are better without a recognised number 9/old school striker. It is suited to Peps style and he has repeatedly said he would play with 11 midfielders if he could. Now that’s obviously a little tongue in cheek, but it’s clear where his mentality is when he says things like that, especially when you look at that first half performance. It was the most complete we have been for a considerable period of time.

See what the next games bring, but we are bang at it right now. Happy days.

The 2nd goal was a bit of a shambles from a wba point of view, play to the fucking whistle you idiot's. No doubt a big deal will be made of it, but for pro's to switch off like that is embarrassing.

I'm just waiting for the headline
City exploited a loophole in the rules and is against the spirit of the game and will be waiting for a rule change next week

All Night Long

Hello....you looking for me?

 

[City_Sean]

An incredible performance. Movement off the ball coupled with superb speed on it. As good as I can remember that.

We are purring at the minute.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Terrific all round display.

It’s just a pleasure to watch us right now, the performances of Gundog, Cancelo, Bernardo are incredible.

Pleased that Raz and Riyad put in improved performances tonight, it’s a frightening thought if we can get everyone to their ‘A’ game.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Had to laugh at BT still trying to find a handball from the first couple of mins, 20 mins later !

RAWK not happy. The baggies wouldn't have caved like this against them.

Maybe they’ll realise soon it’s because they can only dream of playing Pep ball and now they aren’t getting every single decision because it’s United’s turn, their shit brand of ‘bypass dat midfield and stick a PED up my arsehole’ hoofball is being laid bare.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Wow! Even the BT commentary was enjoyable tonight!

Maybe fan feedback is having an impact?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Had to laugh at BT still trying to find a handball from the first couple of mins, 20 mins later !

And the BBC:for the second game running we are on the better end of another contentious decision.

WhereTF is the contention? No one was offside. The lassy lino made a mistake by raising the flag and VAR sees that no one was offside.

From Sadcafe....

Really wish Pep would just move into his next project that these lottery winning shites can go back to being somewhat mortal again.

What like under Mancini or Pelligrini lol

 

[KS55]

The first half tonight was one of the best halves on Pep-Era football I've ever seen. Interchangeable forwards, complete fluidity, rhythmic passing, etc. Everyone played really well.

It rather pointed up Pep's idea that 10 midfielders can do the business. Today was 8 mids plus a CB fortress.

 

[Akpowell]

Shite.

Only scored 5.

We'll have to start putting our chances away

 

[xgorton]

Another radio station saying first time top of table this season,we went top last week when we beat Villa.

 

[LucahArchie10]

Spot on, thought the same about Gabby. Feels like he will never do it with us unfortunately. Slowly fading away. Wish to be proven wrong and we can see more Bernabeu performances. Maybe he’s struggling after covid, should give him some more time.

He always cuts a frustrating boy imo, how many times does he find himself in wrong positions, I just feel with him its all the wrong movement or picking up to deep, trying to go back & beat the man or 1 touch to many
He is a good kid & under Pep in 2 years time who knows bit as a natural finisher he certainly isn't that
At the moment the team is back where we belong & need to stay there, Spurs hopefully draw tomorrow then they drop more point before we play them

We need everyone on it inc the sulky arses

 

[Akpowell]

Ridiculously good
