West Brom match thread

3 points is imperative today.

There's a real lack of football being played by us so far.

Kuyt
Jonanovic
Lucas
Poulson
Skrtel

[Tansy]

Isnt West Brom like having too much possesion?

I think we´d need only one goal to start playing better

[McDermotX]

Lets just see how he adapts to the Prem first, Lucas looked a lot better back in Brazil.

Probably true, but then again, none of us saw Lucas regularly enough while he was in Brazil.
IMO, I more than think Lucas is due a place in our squad as I think he's a decent player, but with Raul coming in, I'd be surprised if it didn't cost Lucas games (especially with Roy bringing in Poulsen as well).

West Brom looking more dangerous now.

The problem is we don't look like scoring that one goal.

Skrtel is riding his luck with some of the holding he does when marking

Nothing really new there then

Are we the home team in this game?

[Rich]

Nothing coming from our midfield. Kuyt and Jova both poor

[certifiable]

This ones died on me.. has it died for everyone else.
Any alternatives?

yes watch paint dry

Skrtel is a real liability, thats 2 penos he's got away with, awkward carthorse. We've been terrible, with Kuyt/Lucas & Poulsen in the midfield there is a serious lack of pace and movement. Lousy display so far

To be honest, it's just the usual. No one running into or creating space. We are a team of statues.

Yep.......don't seem to understand the concept of staying outside (especially Jova).......constantly cutting inside

[Exiled_red]

We're not using wide areas at all especially down the left, a couple of times Torres has been the widest player on that side by inside corner of box, both Jovanovic and Agger were on the inside of him when there wasspace on the flank to get behind them

He really isn't that good. I will actually be happier once we do sign Konchelsky so that Agger can go back to CB and Skrtel can go back to the bench.
