I thought the atmosphere was decent, I've been at games with better but overall I thought it was decent. Thought it went down in the last quarter of the game or so, with the frustration growing over our us not scoring.
In terms of the game, none of our players were at their best going forward, Silva had a poor game by his standards and Yaya and Milner were also very off the boil, Yaya in particular was very wasteful with the ball. However, I think most days we'd have still sneaked a victory, but we just didn't get that little bit of luck today and also West Brom were strong, resolute and determined at the back and deserved their point. McAuley and Jones did very well for them. They made us look worse than we actually were. As I said, most days we'd still have scored a couple of goals playing like we did.
West Brom weren't the first team to face us with a defensive mentality, they were just the first to actually be successful with their gameplan. We might find we have a couple more games like this during the season. It's a consequence of being at the level we are now at. Most teams we will find a way through (e.g. Stoke, Norwich) but on the odd game, we won't, and this was one of them.
What annoys me is that Foster never had to make any outstanding saves, just routine saves which were straight at him. His time wasting tactics which he used for pretty much the entire second half were also very pathetic. He was doing exactly the same when Birmingham drew 0-0 with us last season.
