West Brom Post Match

[pete1477]

Why bring chill well on and not gray total f up by the coach because he is not a manager time to change before this gets away from us and we're down playing the sheep and the trees again absolutely shit tonight 

[Benguin]

Can someone explain the King substitution for me? Trying to hold onto a point? 

 

Second half was bearable, first half dreadful. I've gone from being a little disappointed to a little worried after that.

 

Too early yet and still think we'll pick up but we really should be winning these type games. 

[Izzy]

One for the purists was that

[Bazly]

I'd happliy do a manager swap with Everton but I don't think they would agree.

Not good enough 

 

Even if we had silva he can't make all the other players make attacking runs or want to drive the ball forward 

 

Silva won't suddenly take over training to improve our building play 

 

 

He might play the ball a bit quicker.

 

Watching us pass the ball backwards rather than knock it wide to a free player drove me nuts.

 

Today the players have pissed me off as I saw too few of them taking responsibility or making piss poor decisions.

The players are getting no direction clearly. Should have dropped sentiment 12 months ago. Still hoping the same old group deliver the goods. Drop sentiment now Thais! 

[Dr The Singh]

I often wish we play teams out of form, so we can get a result.  We played a awful WBA, and we were just as shite

[Larry_LCFC]

Time to go Shakespeare. This is getting ridiculous now. We are in trouble playing like this and Shakey won't change. Disjointed and boring. Sack him.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Two poor teams. 

 

We didn't deserve any more. 

 

Shakey is a joke and looks more and more clueless. 

 

Ieancaho and Vardy can't play together 

[Shamomoa]

WE ARE IN THE BOTTOM THREE!! ffs something needs to change! not good enough!

[Will1981]

everybody slates James, King or Iborra but I think the problem is they have to play with Ndidi who has been absolutely doggo all season, he can not pass, shoot or tackle needs a spell on the bench.

[cityfanlee23]

Awful match. Slightly improved on recent weeks, but ONLY because we've had more possession, nothing more, what we did do with the ball was ****ing average until we made the subs, why does it always have to come to that? 

 

Faith pretty much lost with Shakey. 

[EnderbyFox]

Just awful, players seem to have absolutely zero confidence at the moment, lost count of how many misplaced passes were made in the last 5-10 minutes. 

 

So disappointing seeing us regress from an explosive counter attacking side to this ponderous turgid style of play. 

 

I have no idea why we signed Iheanacho, I assume it's not just to shoehorn him into Okazaki's role because that would be bizarre, he just doesn't have the attributes to play there.

[KingKoala]

Nacho is not fit for 442, Slimani was much better..

If CS wants to use Nacho and Vardy we have to go 3 at the back.

When Shinji plays, people want Nacho. When Nacho plays, people want Shinji :|

Actually..I want Slimani.  With Nacho being eased in.

[TrentFox]

An okay point. The bed-wetters on here are doing what bed-wetters do, but that's what we have. Nacho looked lost was my biggest concern. We look low on confidence but still should have beaten a team that will comfortably be mid-table. The confidence will return. Soon hopefully. 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Maguire was exceptional tonight

N'Didi had a decent game tonight.

Guardian live commentary summary, kind of sums it up.

 

Quote

Well, the first half was dreadful. The second half was a bit better, featuring two good goals, some needle and West Brom parking their not insubstantial bus. One team was trying to play football, but their chief problem was that they weren’t very good at it. Iheanacho was totally anonymous and Okazaki will perhaps feel aggrieved he didn’t feature instead.

 

Thanks for joining me for this, you terrible, terrible masochists.

when we play teams out of form we usually lose and end up putting them in form so no thanks...

He needs to go - that was a poor effort from a home side.

 

Iheanacho is a striker who does most of his work in the box. He's not the second coming of Okazaki. He does not suit our style of play.

 

Iborra is painfully slow, and hardly ever passes forward.

 

Can't understand why he took off Simpson, when he was probably our best defender. What was the point of bringing King on with two minutes left - holding onto a draw?

 

Overall, I thought Ndidi had a good game and put in a good shift. Vardy showed signs of sharpness. Mahrez started disappointingly, but scored and should have had another. The outlook without him would be bleak indeed.

 

Schmeichel vulnerable on  free kicks outside the box.
