I understand the need to avoid hyperbole but that was a massive game tonight given that quite a few of our top 4 rivals dropped points at the weekend.

I'm generally pessimistic, but I think too many people are being harsh tonight. We put the game to bed in the first half. Let's not forget that West Brom were competitive until the first goal went in, then we passed them off the pitch for the next 15 minutes and strolled it.

So, we seemed to take our foot off the gas a little. So what.

I like the ambition of the manager being hacked off with a 3-0 stroll when interviewed. He didn't look particularly pleased.


In my opinion: good. 
 

Last year my biggest grind was as it all fell apart he was as happy-go-lucky as at the start of the season, it came across either as he was clueless (clearly he wasn’t) or it was an attempt to try and up the player’s morale. But clearly it didn’t work. 
 

This year despite being sloppy in patches (every team has those times) we’ve always come back and we’ve seen Brendan be a lot more incisive and honest in post match interviews. It’s something I always like about Pearson: always very cerebral and to-the-point without throwing players under the bus. It’s clearly having an effect so I have to give him his dues for showing some growth.

I think 7 was the biggest gap and that was with 9 games to play.

 

West Brom are done, they've got difficult games and not enough quality.

They had to win tonight really for any chance, they clearly didn’t turn up but I like to think we didn’t allow them to and totally outclassed them in midfield.

How dare the presenter of BT  associate savage of loving the club!!! Absolute bullshit just like when we won the league jumps on the band Wagon, you never mentioned us for the previous 15 years you little girl 

To be fair...

After retiring Savage was always to be seen in the KP. Interfaces with fans & welcoming...

He didnt Need to Jump on Amy Band wagon...

 

Hes just a crap commentator.!!

 

Ps..Dont forget he was our first Vardy....!!!

Damn Ive seen Brendan in a better mood after we've lost... Love it lol

he has such a winning mentality, an hes so measured, it never crossed his mind once that we wouldn't be challenging for the champions league again this season after last season.

Rodgers did seem a bit irritated and outright said that Kelechi needed to not lose the ball as much. I didn't notice Kel losing the ball at that much, but perhaps just psychology on Rodgers part to keep them all humble? He knows how good these players can be, and clearly knows we have an even higher level. We were a bit sloppy once we went 3 up to be fair.

 

But all in all, good win! Looked great at times. Castagne easily MoM for me, he blitzed that right hand side 🔥🔥🔥

Always like Big Sam :D

 

More from Sam Allardyce: "You can see why Leicester are where they are in the league, and why they are in the cup final. We couldn't cope with them.

"We tried to get forwards when we had the ball but we were a long long way off where we have been. Leicester are a lot better than Southampton and far better than Chelsea - they are as good as the top boys. They are only behind Man City on that performance.

I agree, Brendan gives Perez special treatment. I don't get it? Praet needs minutes to gain confidence and momentum after his injury. I get he is managing Ricardo but he needs time too. It's a little odd.

he has such fast feet and he draws play. he would walk into any team below halfway

He knows this group are capable of winning the fa cup and grabbing that CL spot... he needs to ensure they don’t get carried away and think all they have to do is turn up, they have to keep on improving and getting better.

Kel’s decision making was slack. 3 on 3’s and shooting. Very Under esque

We should have won that 5/6-0 which is what top teams do. I’m not unhappy, I’m just pointing out a fact. We’ve done it before so we are capable, but we should always go for the jugular.

Man City, liverpool and Chelski all could not beat WBA at home. The only top team to beat them was our boys in blue.

Good job we won because according to some if we didn’t win today we don’t deserve to be top four! Nonsense.

great result though and a very beneficial round of fixtures

Oh I agree on that completely. Does that count as giving the ball away though? I mean they'd have got it anyway if it went in the back of the net 😅
