West Brom (A) Match Thread

Worth saying WBA are no mugs.

[Bert]

These are sat in a low block when we have the ball in their half and pressing high when in ours. Not drawing them out at all. Lots of backwards and sideways passes mind. 

[Bazly]

Half an hour gone and not a single shot, games going to plan.

[damolcfc]

Goalie can't see sh!t and not a single shot from us 🫣

[Supergray22]

Looks like both goalkeepers have lost the feeling in their feet due to the icy conditions.

Get Kel off

Tbh he shite, but to be honest when you are persistently tarting around with it at the back there is no hope for any attacking player. To be honest I don't get this insistence to pass it out, why? You have to be technically very good, we aren't.

Players are good enough. They're just playing a system with high risk no reward.

Other than being far too sloppy with the passing frustrating because we know the can play superb football at times !!

Yea, maybe some quick striker with bags of energy, but who... (PD)

Or someone who just looks interested in sprinting....

This Baggies bloke on comms is doing my fuching head in !!

Enzo is doing mine in. Beginning to lose faith in him

[southfox66]

Sorry the Enzo style of play just doesn't work unless we change it quickly we just going to slip down the table 

[Guest ChrisWalken456]

We just need someone to take a chance, try a bit of flair. We just play it safe, way too safe.

[ACF]

WBA not allowing Winks and Ricardo to have any impact when we’re playing out. Can’t turn or progress the ball

[ronnup]

This is dreadful

Our wingers are really an issue. This system relies on them beating their man 1v1 - they’re just not doing that. 

Yeah because they run forward ten yards, stop and pass the ball backwards. 

[Tuna]

We've been abject for at least 10 minutes

If, and it’s a big if, we get promoted - massive personnel changes required. Not many of this current side are anywhere near good enough for the PL.

We need to be careful how many games we give Fatawu and Yunus. Don’t want to be stuck with those 2 if we go up

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Is McAteer actually playing? 

[eastendfox]

No zip going forward at all, wingers slowest of all. 

[TheUltimateWinner]

Can we ask Sky to put the FL classic games back on?

[Blanchflower78]

The system just doesn't allow us to put others under any form of pressure. It's about waiting for an opening to appear. Meanwhile defensively the strict possession at all costs regardless of position means we will often give up countless great opportunities for the opposition to score.

It really doesn't matter who plays up top cos this isn't designed for them to be 20 goal season options.

Sadly starting to feel like the belief is slipping from the players whilst opposing teams are now relishing playing us.

Yeah, they don’t seem to be allowed to even risk pinging something across and asking a question that way. Iheanacho did earlier and we won a corner.

It's stupid... take risks at the back, they're in behind 

 

Do it in their third we still have players covering

 

It's mind boggling especially as it's not working and we just keep repeating it 

[mozartfox]

I thought we were meant to be getting better at Enzo ball? We are going backwards week on week.  Please sort it out Foxes.
