mykeyb Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Just heard a baggies fan on radio 5 making a case for Pulis to be sacked and Ancelotti to be appointed.........needless to say that Savage absolutely took him to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pulis knows only one way to set up a team and currently that's not working. 2 wins in 23 is it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think back to our relegation season and we won 3 league games all season and were pretty much down by November. I know it's spread over two seasons but the run WBA are on is appalling yet no one actually seems to be noticing. They have Chelsea, Spurs and Man. City in their next 4 games so the league table will look much worse for them in a months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, he does. They’re currently above Leicester, West Ham and Everton and have spent (as far as I’m aware?) nowhere near the same amount. His football is the absolute epitome of boring but effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't they won something like two out of the last twenty-three? Don't get me wrong, I still think on balance he'll turn it round, but they have been garbage so far this season and they have a horrendous run of fixtures coming up.

VillaChris Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 He always has issues constructing teams when he spends decent money. On the face of it Barry and Krychowiak were good signings for them but what does Pulis do, he plays them and Livermore in a midfield three. Two of them can't run and Livermore is bang average so those three won't contribute even three goals from midfield unless Barry takes the penalties. All very static and if you can defend their set pieces properly (which is easier said than done) they will offer very little from open play.

That poor form run may well run into last season (again, nowhere near relegation) but it’s hardly “garbage” this season. Maybe their football still is, though.

Zatman Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Only Phillips offers any creativity and mark him out WBA offer nothing except set-pieces. Krychowiak has been played as advanced midfielder when i saw them vs Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, maybe 'garbage' is too far. But given the (lack of) difficulty of their opponents so far this season, and their poor points return, and the likelihood that they will be in the relegation zone after the next five games, I don't think it's far off. On a more general point - Krychowiak, Livermore and Barry are all water-carriers. Why do they play with three versions of the same player? It's no wonder they don't create any chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he kept Palace up they actually played football that was exciting to watch.

leighavfc Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Looks like the majority of Baggies are turning against Pulis. Chants at half time of Pulis out. 3 wins in 23 now! Not looking good for them atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
