West Brom (H) FA Cup Match Build Up Thread

[Lecter]

In terms of form since Robertson got his run in the team, I think the list of those playing better than him for the same period would be a short one.

I knew very little about the guy before he joined us, but have been very impressed with him since he started getting game time.

For me he should be the undisputed starter for us in that position regardless of whether Moreno is available or not.

I didn't watch him at Hull either so was sceptical about him when we signed him

First game he played for us he really impressed me with his positional play and intelligence

Was disappointed he was left out until Moreno got injured

Would be an absolute travesty no I would go so far as saying it would be lunacy to not have Robertson as first choice leftback over Moreno

[Nicey]

Harsh on Robertson. He has been good since he started his run of games at the start of December, and aside from the Swansea game he has been consistent in his play for that run of games.

Andy has been immense, one of the few players who look like they ****ing give a **** out there, its no surprise he the player who pressed the **** out of City that day .. you can tell he was born up for it ...

Too many of these assbags go through the motions too many times

Can I just say I hope shaggy got lucky with that lass he missed the match for.

Concur
Hope he didn't have to use the VAR

[Shaggy]

I did indeed. Got far too drunk though. Thumbed it in last night and saved the glory for this morning

[Buzzo]

Shaggy misses game, changes routine, gets end away, and we lose.

imho you've selfishly cost us a place in the next round.

No more shagging until close season mate.

She will understand

[Shaggy]

Can't believe the result ffs. Sounded shocking. Got a message saying we were 3-1 down and I thought it was a wind up.

[Fernandinho]

Doesn't seem to be the popular opinion here, but is nobody else glad we saved up this shocker of a performance for the Cup. I remember last season when we lost a few cup matches and some league games mixed in together it seemed like a disaster, when in reality we had somehow saved some of our worst games for cup matches. This helped us qualify for the CL which we are looking good in.

The club seem to have shifted priority to the league and CL which works for me. Spurs showed how effectively clubs can grow when they focus on CL qualification and the league. It brings the money which brings longer term growth. The club knows that they are never going to have an endless bank of cash so they need to focus on building cash from CL which comes directly from league performance.

Having been knocked out of the League Cup and FA Cup early on I would still consider this season a success if we can continue to develop the squad and perform in the CL which is the biggest club trophy around, ensures players want to come to us and is a massive revenue driver.

It isn't ideal getting knocked out of the cups as early as we have, but we have lost 1 game in the league recently. Otherwise we are still on an exceptional run which we can hopefully continue midweek. We are 6 points from second place United who play Spurs this matchday, Spurs have a shocking run of fixtures coming up and Chelsea don't exactly have it all together at the moment either. There is a long way to go this year.

I think this may be on me actually, I've been really busy the past few weeks and didn't put in my pessimistic prediction for the last two games, so I couldn't reverse jinx those two games.....sorry

[gratziani]

still ****ed off after this ****storm of a match

Letting Barry , Brunt and KRyzniac or whatever he is called run our midfield around

I know the defence is getting most of the **** but ****ing hell do we know how to make a tackle nowadays.

[Havors]

It's easier to bin off this season and wait for Keita to join than stress about the rest of this one. Champions League progress notwithstanding.

Becoming a habit us binning seasons off....

Emre Can infuriated me... again... That is one lazy ****ing cunt, never tracks his man and constantly out of position defensively. Wini was rather headless and the OX kept giving the ball away.

Our midfield midfield (not the forwards) is pretty ****e tbh... Cant wait for Keita. But think we need another centre mid. Can is gone, Milner is ****e in the centre and Hendo is very hit and miss.

Our defence is exposed a lot because of our midfield. If we fixed that then we would only have to worry about how ****e we are on set pieces.

You'd need to rebuild the Berlin Wall in front of Moreno & Mignolet to protect them considering the deficiencies they have
