The Quick Brown Fox Posted 7 June 2018 Posted 7 June 2018 Maybe just maybe Evans was playing shite on purpose when he realised WBA were in trouble. They wouldn't let him leave when he wanted to and he obviously knew about his release clause and him not doing great could be down to him wanting to ensure he gets his switch and a fat signing on fee. Just saying, in no way am I saying this is what happened! Just a thought I had.

sphericalfox Posted 7 June 2018 Posted 7 June 2018 Jonny Evans is not responsible for every single West Brom result, he doesn't score goals. How many of those were draws? Effectively they had no goal scorer. They were screwed. 3

Nickfosse Posted 7 June 2018 Posted 7 June 2018 (edited) I work in West Brom and know many a ST holder and some knowledgable fans who are coaches in the West Midlands. Jonny Evans was player of the year by a country mile the season before last in what was a successful campaign up to the last couple of months. They were calling us delusional for wanting to buy him last summer, saying we were the same size club as them, and that if he did move, it should be to a top 4 champions league team. Yes, this year hasn’t gone well, but that includes virtually everyone at WBA. If it hadn’t he wouldn’t be here. Edited 7 June 2018 by Nickfosse 2

Guest Markyblue Posted 8 June 2018 Posted 8 June 2018 He's a good player at a good price there being salty now he's left I've had similar thoughts about mahrez it's a fans natural defence mechanisms kicking in.

Babylon Posted 8 June 2018 Posted 8 June 2018 11 hours ago, Master Fox said: That’s not very good West Brom conceded 56 goals, that's only 5 less than Arsenal, it's less than Everton, Leicester, one more than Palace, less than Bournemouth, West Ham and Watford, only 2 more than Brighton, less than Hudderfield, same as Saints and Swansea and less than Stoke. The defence, was pretty much average for the league (not that he's responsible for the whole defence). The problem was scoring goals, they got 31 in total. We aren't far off getting twice that amount.

If we don’t replace properly we could have a lot less goals scored! 1

If we don’t replace properly we could have a lot less goals scored! That is critical. We do not have any other player that can truly break defences down like Mahrez does. He has contributed to 10+ goals and 10+assist in the last 3 seasons. We need to replace that. Edited 8 June 2018 by les-tah 1

If we don’t replace properly we could have a lot less goals scored! There will be others stepping up or having to step up in the place of Mahrez, I'm thinking of Albrighton (to an extent, if played on the left constantly), Gray (hardly any end product so far), Silva (assists mostly), Iborra, Diabaté, Ndidi. We've become too dependent on two players only in the past few years in Vardy and Mahrez, that needs to change. Once Riyad leaves, we'll get a promising right midfielder in with the necessary skills, potentially even another talented left midfielder. What can't happen again is us shipping 60 goals against. We are addressing the need for a stable back four with the signing of Evans. Ideally, I'd like us to go for another centre-back and left-back this summer already, in case Benalouane is sold or Fuchs leaves in January 2019 already.

Albrighton has never scored enough goals for us, that's with having Riyad in the team taking most of the pressure off the other players. Watching Diabate, you can see he's just missing his end product, I don't see that with Gray. Gray just does not seem to have the football Brain needed at this level to be able to succeed. If we keep him, I hope he gets played on the right because he's completely in effective on the left. 1
