I know everyone can play their own style, but Allardyce football isn't football. He could train any 11 fit people to do this
Fat Sam will get more points this way...not enough to save them i bet...but if yer a West Brom fan? It won't be worth it.
I honestly couldn't watch if I was a WBA fan. It's making me want to turn off as a Liverpool supporter ffs
All been very meh since the goal. We need to speed things up. All been too easy just passing it around slowly while West Brom get back into shape.
That little passage of play before half time should serve as a warning, this is far from over. We need to finish this
Believe it or not my work mate is a West Brom fan... was absolutely fuming Bilic got sacked then just got depressed at the replacement knowing what would come. Text him he can call me names today if it makes him feel better....
Well! I thought Mourinho could park the bus, Fat Sam has an entire bus depot here. We have created a few chances, but very frustrating game. Hopefully we will score a few more facing the Kop in the second half. We just need to move the ball faster so it is harder for them to get lined up in two rows of 4 in front of their keeper with just one player on the half way line. Watching WBA is like watching table football as the the two lines of four move from side to side as if they are attached to a steel bar!
Careful, Suicides are at a high at the time of the year, this might push him over the edge. If West Broms tactics haven't already.
as far as i can tell pretty much every West Brom fan would have preferred to stick with Bilic however if you're the owners all that matters is the best chance of keeping your snout in the PL gravy train .
We don't get an early 2nd goal and it could be a ****ty smash and grab from fat Sam. Need to come out more angry & more greedy
Half time team talk for them will be we are still in this game, keep it tight and a chance will come. Very frustrating for us but you have to be able to overcome this. Mane is being strangled by their defender, two arms around him in the penalty area, holding his runs
My bet is this won't though... or at least I hope it doesn't... not because I dislike WB or even dislike the idea that certain teams have to sit back and play counter/set piece... Its that West Brom played good football and were in their position this year because they didn't fork out for strikers... to dismantle that building process that got you up and worse will make it harder to come back up...is so depressing to watch... worse when its the same useless bastard coaches are hired to do the dismantling... then walk off when their stone age methods don't work in the championship either... I mean Sam has done **** all for 2 years... not learnt new coaching, just same old ****e.
its a bit slow for me. any old free or throw or ball to hand can give this bag of ****e a goal. we need to up the levels big time second half and get goal 2 and 3 then knock it about. its a real pity they were not going in with heads hanging at ht. fat sham will be happy with 0-1 for goal difference at the end. 1-1 and he is a genius. 6-4-0 with dragging and pulling and slow play is not genius.
Jones has been very good last month or two. However in these games he needs to up it a bit problem is he liked having 5 6 7 touches before doing something. Looks fancy but all it does it give West Brom time. Whole team are too slow but he’s been the worse so far
