dukes Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I think it's embarrassing the attacking options DS has available to him, but we'll need it as our defence and keeping options are on the whole sh1t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a myth when you break it down. Kodija - hasn’t looked the same since his injury. Lazy. Hogan - looked crap from day 1 Bolasie - looks waaaay off the pace Adomah - average player that had a decent spell last season. El Ghazi - seen nothing yet to suggest he is a good player. Struggling with the pace. Grealish - top player. Hardly scores goals and small number of assists. Poor form. Abraham- Been impressed so far. We have decent options. But hardly the embarrassment of riches that people keep making out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's hard to judge a lot of the players listed based on our previous approach to games. We'll see if that's true I guess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it, maybe because hes moved to Aston where there's more curries than Holland and Morocco combined? Going to have to help me out here.. I wasn't making a pun, just to clarify.

Hogan - Has been playing for a manager who has no idea how to set up to his strengths Bolasie - has looked good in his cameos and is scoring despite not being fully fit Adomah - average player that had a decent spell last season. Al Ghazi - is settling into a new league and has managed to both score and provide a couple of assists Grealish - top player. Hardly scores goals and small number of assists. Poor form. Abraham- Been impressed so far. Not saying we have an embarrassment of riches but I think you are being overly critical just to try and highlight a point of view you hold.

lexicon Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Well the point would be to compare what we have to the rest of the league. Then anyone can objectively see we have an embarrassment of riches. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im making my point based on what’s ive seen so far this season apart from Hogan who hasn’t played yet. Im sick of hearing how good our attacking options are. Let’s see some proof of that first.

sharkyvilla Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I assume he hasn't been away on international duty so has had the chance to impress Smith in training. Hopefully this kickstarts his season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we have the forth highest scoring attack in the league despite being a disorganised bag of shit is your proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id argue Albion are a lot stronger. We’ve played 2 or 3 decent teams this season and the rest of have been mid table of relegation battling teams. I’d be disappointed if we wernt one of the highest scorers. We still need to see big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
