bannedfromHandV Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 First 15 minutes great, lots of good play and fast interchanges with one touch football, since then, pretty average again. Barkley and El Ghazi look lively, neither penalty was a penalty, more so the Baggies one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the first time, his giveaways have put us under pressure or seen us concede. How has he been so poor for so long? And why? He was way better than this when we only survived by the skin of our teeth. I don't understand what's happened to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Douglas Luiz must be high up in the stats for midfielders who have give away free - kicks on the edge of the six yard box. " Goal side, my son, goal side ". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 To me we are marginally better than a soon to be relegated side assembled on a fraction of our budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I’m frustrated that we are not winning as well. But at least I can see that we are playing better than our last few matches, the score is finely balanced at 1-1, and we’ve shown enough glimmers of good attacking that a goal could come for us at any minute.

Been excellent so far though, the best of our midfield three - although with McGinn playing like he's got a blindfold on that's not tricky. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on smith as much as the players i thjnk OBE What can he change though? McGinn can't pass a ball 5 yards, who does he play instead? A not fully fit Ramsey? Nakamba? Our squad is looking really poor right now, too many underperforming players not enough options to replace them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a big SJM fan but won’t complain if he gets yeeted for Ramsey in the 2nd half. Poor today. Edit: also, despite cursing AEG almost constantly, he’s playing well today.

Dale Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Really confused with some of the comments here. We've been as good as I've seen is in months. Some really slick movement, breaking down a very deep WBA side. Just need to be a bit cuter. Don't have huge amounts of complaintd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not watching, but I'm intrigued. What's the plan? I'm just asking cause since Grealish got injured we haven't had a plan. We have been passing and passing, mostly backwards. Clueless as how to create. Added to this we manage to play with wingers who prefers to cut inside, which means we are stupidly predictable and lack crosses into the box of sufficient quality.

I’d give the same team the first 10 mins of the second half. Then change it if nothing happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
