West Brom (A) | Post-Match Thread

[Del_Bosque]

Just had a look at the table

Obviously main thing is we are TOTL

But nice to see now we are only 1 behind Liverpool on goals scored and way out in front on goals conceded.

Early season problems well and truly ironed out

7 points clear of Liverpool at this stage was unthinkable after that West Brom game in Dec

Presume we can take half that team off the bluemoon transfer list.

Sian M-E used never to get offsides wrong. Have they done the vertical lines to show how close it was (his head was further forward than his feet)? But why would she flag at that point? Still, haven't we had a couple of attacks stopped this season by wrong offside flags?

I missed the first half - so watching it after the event I was actually a bit disappointed after all Robbie Savage's "magnificents". Total control, but not really total football - not against a team that's really not very good. Better yet to come, I hope.

She flagged because someone in her ear told her to. She didn’t wait until he played the ball as he touched it at least 5 times before she flagged, only the ref ignoring her ensured the goal stood.
No reason they should be flagging at all if it’s close, just let play continue and if a goal is scored then they can disallow it at that point.

Sam been out yet?

I don't get all this playing out from the back nonsense is a famous quote from a big fat football dinosaur. Look and learn you fat bastard and you should never get another job in football management. Will obviously resign before season ends to preserve his never been relegated record that sky and talkshite always bring up

Love that quote about playing out from the back nonsense. I wonder if he still doesn't get it after watching his team being completely out played. If he doesn't get it and still insists on prehistoric tactics then he deserves the sack immediately. I think he really doesn't get it and is a complete Fogey.

Excellent performance tonight from City and I was delighted to see Big Sam, The Dinosaurs Dinosaur, Allardyce is still sprinkling his unmagic dust. Everywhere the **** goes, death and pestilence are waiting. Every year or so they open his crypt as some idiot thinks, we are right in the shite, how could we possibly make it worse? Sam trots up and shows them how. After he gets sacked and 're embalmed, another club pops up to sign on for a fate worse than a fate worse than death. He must be in treble figures of clubs beguiled by his hype and thrown off a cliff. Once he gets sacked tomorrow, I'm convinced he will end up at Celtic and that will be my signal to walk the earth. But, apart from that ****, you're looking tasty.

But BFS was ahead of his time y'know
He was the originator of players bringing their own pillows when staying away from home and having dossiers on players at his new club

You watch the way Cheltenham play under their young manager and then witness dinosaurs like Allardyce, Bruce and Pullis given jobs and you then understand why football hasn't progressed

After his save on the first minute this is how Ederson felt for the rest of the game

Can someone put Bernie Sanders keeping him company between the posts?

I sort of agree about playing it out the back. Obviously it works if you have the talent but some of the teams I’ve seen attempt it and constantly lose it is mental. Some people just aren’t built for it

Bt was OK tonight

I don‘t like to be bigheaded but I’m claiming the credit here. Following last Saturday’s shit show, my customer review of the BT Sport TV app not only reverberated around the board room but rocked the organisation to the very core.

Absolutely fantastic performance from everyone.
Len and Gundo were the pick of the bunch though.. Rod wasn't far behind tbh.
Must be a nightmare for defenders trying to figure out who to mark when our play is so fluid.
I'm not a huge fan of Mahrez but I thought he took his goal well and actually put in some effort.. I've never disputed his ability just his effort..
Dias is the defender we have missed since Vinny retired..
Nice to see Joleon and Gaz Baz on bt too..
