I agree, but if you hit the crosses on the deck that doesn't matter and that's what I want to see anyway. I much prefer pinging the ball wide and smashing it in front of the keeper. Higher tempo, but keep the ball on the pitch! Edited May 11, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the finishing isn't it that's been poor, as for the passing, making runs it's been very good, just need the knife edge sharpness on those shots.

I still feel like we could put two or three past them if things start clicking for us. I feel the same, doesn't mean we're a superior side though.

He just set's up the team in the same shape every game and hope we wins the game. We might see some early subs but don't expect him to change the gameplan even tho this is clearly not working. Don't get me wrong i think Smith is a decent coach at this level but he's not a great tactician. Yawn Was he a tactical manager with 10 men against Rotherham?

If Abraham had the chance Gayle had I think he would have missed it. Just like he did with his volley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Brom got the game exactly how they want it. Letting us have the ball and hitting us on the counter. Very limited team but keeping it simple. And since we are playing at walking tempo they don't even have to put any effort in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 At several times. El Ghazi, Tammy, McGinn, Adomah were all camped on a line with their back four. All standing still. Where's the movement? I fail to see what the idea is. Get ready for the cross? They've parked the bus damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had more possesion and completed far more passes. Their goal came from an error not from a good footballing move. We are superior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerner's Driver Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 On our run we beat teams who were trying to win and so created gaps for us to exploit. West Brom are sitting back and that's always when we struggle. It's like we have the potential to beat anyone, but we only seem to impose ourselves when it feels like it would be rude not too. Gayle is the opposite, he is a hard working, clinical machine from minute one of the game and he personifies the West Brom spirit. In a nutshell, we are a team that fannies around far too much. Rarely do we take it to the opposition and effectively dominate, when that opposition is very good at defending. There needs to be more tempo, guile and precision. We can still win this, but it doesn't look likely right now. A superb away performance from Albion who are clearly the better team despite their lack of possession. And Whelan can **** off.

Dave-R Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Jack needs to show his quality even if out marked, he has no chance in champions league football if he can't overcome Albion at the playoffs.. He could still be with us next season if he doesn't show that quality here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ve played better than them today, too, just not well enough to break them down. Yet. Edited May 11, 2019 by Michelsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have let us play the passing game, that's why we look good. They are as good as parking the bus, more so in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 3 minutes ago, Skruff said: Risk of red card and pen I would guess? He was coming at full pace If he dived in then Gayle could still have shifted it and got a shot anyway. I still have no idea what Whelan was doing, trying to pass or control it. He just sort of stood there as well. It'll be tough to break through a flat back 6 but we can do it if we remain patient and don't do anything daft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I'm not so positive. we need to up our game 2nd half as I don't think we have caused West Brom too many problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
