West Brom (Asia Trophy) match thread (July 19th)

Recommended Posts

LEICESTER 1-1 WEST BROM

69: We're edging closer to a draw here but have no fear football fans, we go straight to pennos in this one. 

There will be a new format of penalties trailed in the Premier League Asia Trophy though, with team A taking their penalty before Team B takes two in a row and back to two from team A and so on until five each have been taken. 

Listen to the video below from referee Bobby Madley for more

 

WTF

Not sure of the benefit of trying new formations when you're not playing the players who will actually play it.

It's a shame Roy Hodgson didn't appreciate that.

Similar to a tie break in Tennis I believe?

Elaborate. Not watching second half

Not a good couple of minutes giving the ball away a couple of times and just kicking their player rather than getting the ball.

 

It's all gone a bit shit really.

He's big, but is he any good? Wouldn't judge any player on 20 odd minutes of this. But then again it is FT. ;)

Who's judging a player? Just commenting on what's happening.

WTF 

It has been shown statistically that the team going first wins more often than the team going second, due to the added pressure of having seen them score and being behind in the pens. This way both teams get the pressure of being behind in the shootout. I think it carries on into sudden death where it is probably even more decisive.

Think the weather and lack of fitness have killed this game. Stodgy mess now. 

 

 

Theres possibly an element of some of the first half players putting more of a shift in as they know they are not first choice.... and Mahrez going off!

Should we read anything into Huth not being part of squad, and Schmeichel not coming on? 

Huth is out injured for 6 weeks and you can only bring 10 on... more value for outfield players in terms of fitness than keepers.

Huth injured and probably giving Hamer his 90 minutes before sticking him in the u23s for the rest of the season.
