In Germany we say: "A Good horse only jumps as high as it has to." Hopefully you understand what I mean...3 points, Job done

That sums up Dzeko. Lol no wonder he was player of the year and top scorer there, unfortunately they call him donkey here.

we won

Dzeko socred a decent goal and Tevez / Nasri did well

Rodwell and Garcia still dont impress

Did the job

Happy

Rodwell still dont impress? im sure you are the only one tho thinks that.

If he's going to bomb that far forward then he needs to score some of the bucketload of chances he was gifted because him doing that exposed acres of space West Brom took advantage of once they figured it out. Was he aggressive? Yeah and that's nice when he doesn't do a silly sliding challenge like he did tonight. Most top opposition would have let him clip them and gotten him a yellow card or possibly a red card instead of obligingly jumping out of the way. I like his enthusiasm. I like his willingness but he should be advanced enough to take advantage of the scoring opportunities he had.

He's barely played all season due to injury, I can forgive him for a little rust. Our spanish magician wastes several golden opportunities a month and we look past it.

I get what you're saying and he has to pick his spots as a b2b midfielder, but this feels a bit harsh in his first significant time with the first team since his return from (another) injury.

And he's still only 22. I don't think anyone's claiming he's a world class player yet, just that he has a lot of potential. Looks like he's been watching Frank Lampard, and if only he can match Lampard's finishing, we should have quite a player in a few years.

It was a somewhat flat performance but with 8 changes it was perhaps expected.To me the real shame is rodwell apart none of the fringe players seized their opportunity. We don't half need to boost that squad in the summer. We would never have to rely on all these players at once in a prem game that mattered but if we did wed be in lumber.
Another point from last night is the crowd. Over 10,000 season card/members stayed away.yes they include them in "the crowd" but truth is we could very nearly have played that game at Maine road.
I bet every one of them will be at Wembley.

So you can get a babysitter for a long trip to London but not for a home game? That's a pathetic excuse. There are agencies you know.

Not many of our younger fans near me. As one bloke said "He'll not be sleeping at the weekend so better catch up now".
