West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

The game Lambert lost my support. Beyond inconsolable.

How bizarre. The guy was up and down the touch line, he started with the right team and we looked half decent (something we haven't done for a while).

Yet you choose to do it after this game? Obviously you didn't see the last 4/5 matches.

And that second half 'performance' ladies and gentlemen, exactly why we will get relegated this season.

Fuck off, you're really boring now.

Wanker

Pack it in the pair of you.

Well not quite sure why that twat told me to fuck off. I didnt know I kept say we would be relegated to the point of it being boring.

We can't afford to be passing up the chance of a victory - and we had given ourselves a great chance.

Same mistakes occurring from set pieces.  We blow again.

 The idea of taking N'Zog off was to bring a bit more ebergy into midfield, and to close the game down.The fact is that if Gabby and N'Zog could pick a final pass , then we could have wonn by 4 or 5 goals.

 Too weak and slow in central midfield, and Lowton badly needs a rest.

 Disappointed, but not the worst result, shows how with a couple of additions, we could be quite a good team.

His subs didn't cost us the game. Delph and Baker were forced substitutions due to injury and Holman came on for Zog to sure it up and press. We should have been more than 3 goals up before Zog came off.

What cost us was not only shit defending at set pieces but a complete lack of a winning mentality. Again.

Steve Clark would been delighted to see CNZ go off. Look forward to PLs explanation.
exactly , so why take him off , he was best player by miles

[Chipsticks]

N'zogbia, Benteke, Agbonlahor, Guzan, and Lichaj all deserve a lot of credit.

Not fully fit? How many 90 minutes has he played this season? You can count them on one hand. Just because he finally had a good game doesn't mean he is suddenly super fit.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Charlie is the key.

I agree.
A few lines of it tonight might help me to forget the 2nd half.

Enough, please.

[SamTheMouse]

The thing is, though, that if you're forced to play three at the back it means your players aren't good enough to cover the defensive areas with four. So someone needs replacing...

We need better defenders and a tall midfielder, or else we will be relegated. It really is as simple as that.

One more from either of you and you're banned. It's that simple.

[MonsXI]

CNZ did fuck all in the 21 minutes he played in the second half should PL have kept him on because he had a good first 45?

[themossman]

IF Zog was injured then that was just bad luck. IF he wasn't, then Lambert is a prized bellend for that substitution.

Ouch!

[Fin Feds Dad]

Thought it was a foul on Benteke for the equaliser . But when you are down there you get no luck - as the baggies know from a couple of seasons ago .

It was a game of two halves .

We're gone .

[Apyadg]

Holman came on for Zog to sure it up and press.

Well, he did a fucking sterling job of that.

Boo hoo it didn't work out. It was a substitution based on the offensive half of the pitch.

It was a poor substitution. and that's not a smart-arse comment based on hindsight, it was openly questioned by many people the moment it happened.

I think it's pretty fair to criticise taking off the best player on the pitch.
