West Brom (h) post-match thread

[dickie davies]

How the fuck was Foden the one taken off? He'd had a really good 20 minutes and was the only one that looked like doing anything.

No he hadn't
But he was no worse than anyone else

 

[knuckles]

Top 4? Even I'm not so sure

 

[Sulaiman14]

The fact that we can’t beat West Brom or West Ham shows us everything. We need D Silva back.

we've lost against Championship teams with D Silva
B Silva is a pretty good player who is not getting enough chances in the midfield

 

[Withnail]

Shocking performance, no intensity or energy and wasteful in front of goal again. The passing is sloppy and no movement off the ball.

 

[asgoodasitgets]

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not tbh because I am phenomenal

Well that should be self explanatory then .

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

With the WBA defending thought tonight might have been better to introduce Mahrez in second half for his trickery

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Cancelo is the worst full back we've signed since the takeover. Just garbage.

 

[OB1]

Not good enough for sure but it is difficult when teams defend like that and then get a spwany goal.

People will complain no doubt about the two holding midfielders but Gundog was our best player.

The players have to do better more often with the final ball and their finishing but that's not a new story.

We need a new striker and a holding midfielder who can do the job on his own but in the meantime, the current players have to up their games.

Utter dogshite, this team has regressed so much its frightening, we are going nowhere slowly.

We are going somewher,we are going backwards at an alarming rate ..

 

[Blu1]

Playing a double pivot against West Brom. Fucking West Brom.

At home too

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

That fucking ex-rag keeper turned into Lev Yashin for one evening. Fuck off.

Their centre half - Ajayi turned into Baresi for one evening. Fuck off.

Jesus, Foden, Mendy - crap.

Sterling , bar the assist, hopeless.

De bryune probably trying too hard.

Cancelo can't couldn't cross the fucking road.

Ake appeared very uncomfortable most of the night. Fair enough, he hasn't played much.

Gundogan easily our best player. By a distance.

Utter wank.

 

[Cornish_Blue]

Might as well skip the 120 mins of the game against Arsenal and go straight to penalties.

I miss the days of forward passes and runs in behind.

we wont be winning that game, no matter how bad they have been, we are worse now

 

[cupsforcockups]

omly gundugan comes out with credit

 

[solley attwell]

Pep will come up against a striker on Saturday who knows where the goal is.
Sign him up now!!

 

[skillman]

Time to go

 

[Bluemoon115]

That last ten mins was the Kev of old, getting into that position where he puts crosses in. We’re just not doing it enough.

We need to get going earlier.

He can't do it on his own.

I'm not defending his season, it's been below par. But when he's the only one showing any movement or drive in the final third, it's impossible.

When everyone shit themselves in the last 5, he had the chance to influence.

 

[wolviedinho]

It’s not just a personnel problem though is it? Shitter players have played well when under a good system. You can’t tell me Delph is a phenomenal left back, but the system benefitted him. This is shite

The goal we scored was city of old.

Did we try the same move for the rest of the match? NO

 

[WestGorton]

Played with the urgency that used to blow away teams two years ago during the 4 minutes of added time tonight.

Exactly. Took extra time to wake them up.

 

[plongo]

Sterling.. the biggest myth in football, cash in, if anyone is mad enough to buy him

 

[BoyataIsGod]

We need a lot more than a striker my friend. We just don't gel as a team anymore. Not in the way we used to. Not even close.

Yes but everyone loves a new shiny striker don’t they, it lifts morale!
