West Brom (h) post-match thread

[The slaughtered lamb]

I was all for the performance at the weekend. A bit of a reset and something to build on.

But I’d suggest we show some ambition a little earlier, at least against bottom half sides at home. This slow, slow, qui.., slow shite doesn’t suit Kev, and I’d rather see Bernardo or Jesus doing a bit of damage, rather than buzzing round like bluebottles without a turd to land on.

We definitely missed John Stones with his long raking passes. If we somehow beat Southampton, all will be well.

We won’t though will we

Pep will no doubt reflect that if either of the 2 point blank chances had gone in and avoiding the OG would have meant a win

he will ignore yet another defensive line up and insipid performance

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Pep has done big questions to start answering.
Any other manager will be under serious threat so why shouldn't he?
It's been getting worse for 12 months.

Wait until all the players are available they said
Wait until a couple of months into the season they said
It'll click, they're too good to fail they said
Peps playing the long game they said

No excuses. All I'm seeing is turgid, depressing to watch football.
No movement, amateur-like passing, strange team selections with even stranger (if any) substitutions

Our last 3 home games were Burnley, Fulham & West Brom. 3 very poor teams & we didn't play well against one of them. I know we got 7 pts but performance wise, very poor.

A Derby day where not a single blue shirt came out with any credit. Even with no fans, if you can't get up for a Derby, football isn't for you.

It's time for each & every member of playing & support staff to earn their coin. The domestic season is in danger of ending in February if results & performances keep going the way they are.

I'd honestly settle for top 4, just to play in next year's CL as this lot have no chance of winning it to qualify automatically.

THIS.

On the bright side. We’re only 5 points behind playing this bad but dont see much changing till we get some fans in.

5 points assuming we win the game in hand

Or get Sergio fit

As usual tonight there will be justified ranting at that shit show. The 'keep the faith' mob will emerge later followed closely by the 'we're in transition' brigade. By tomorrow night it will seem this was all part of a Pep masterplan.

 

[deano ou812]

It’s alright we‘re gonna sign messi..

 

[HelloCity]

5 wins in 12 league games.

Pretty poor.

I look forward to seeing the scum get a penalty with less than what happened to Jesus.

No wonder Pep was pissed.

Absolutely clutching if that's what you need against West Brom at home.
All on Pep and the players, garbage.
