West Brom (h) post-match thread

[hilts]

we win a couple of games and we are right near the top of the league. Ridiculous post from a wet lettuce

Fella people say this every week even the most optimistic Blue must be pretty concerned, we are not far off a season and a half on a consistent downward trajectory.

The number of very average sides we have dropped points against is getting very long indeed.

Horrendously shit. Took off Foden and left Rodri on the pitch. WTF has happened to us. KDB looks lost, and he's clearly as fed up as we all are.

Foden was as shite as anybody. Maybe not Cancelo. Too sloppy, over passing is the problem now, too laboured in the build up. Average passes for each attempt at goal is 43 according to Andy Gray. That’s excessive. No tempo is another issue. Walking pace at times.
Gabby anonymous again. Sterling bang average and missed another sitter, as did Gundo. We have pace, but don’t use it anymore. Need a shift in mentality.

Sick of stating the same thing with Rodri and Gundi in midfield we are a boring bunch of shit. Two holding midfielders against WBA. I thought Pep knew the game, he as changed a world beating team to a just above average one

 

[chaddblue]

Cancelo, Mendy, Ake, Rodri, KDB, Foden, Sterling, Jesus.... every one of them was absolutely fucking woeful tonight

What's happening? What's going on?

We can't go from the team that got 198 points in two seasons to that in no time at all... it's not possible

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Imagine a prime David Silva instead of Rodri in this game. Would’ve been a 3,4 goal win. No one operates in Merlin’s area any longer

 

[Semper aggressus]

Buy the right players. The best available, whatever it takes. A midfielder, a fast wing and Haaland.

How can people believe we’re playing for the champions league? We can’t even beat West Brom

 

[Bluesince1979]

For the first time in a long time we can’t say we have one of the best squads in the world anymore. A lot of our players now wouldn’t get in our rivals side. We don’t have that star quality anymore

All down to recruitment. Replaced worldies with decidedly average, and this is the outcome. A very average side with a rebuild of monumental scale the only answer

 

[WestGorton]

No new striker and top four in jeopardy unless he fires it up again.

Can see us losing to Southampton on Saturday
