West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

Why do people think Grealish is the answer? Genuine question, is he really that good? Granted, he can't be any worse then N'Zogbia...

[dave.woodhall]

West Midlands Police are an utter shower of fucking c***s. What a fucking disgrace. They hold people outside the station and then start battering people with tuncheons, not letting anybody in despite the crush getting worse. Fucking shower of twats.

Take numbers and make complaints.

No he isn't. He may become that good, but right now, now he is not there. Almost certainly a better option than Charles though as you note.

What a waste of £39 that was.
Lambert team selection and tactics dire again today. To leave Delph out and play Richardson and N'Zogbia was idiotic.
As for the tactic of Guzan passing to the FB's right on the goal line ! wtf Is that all about !! Ridiculous tactic ! Time and time again we got ourselves into trouble.

He may not be the answer we need, but he's a better one than Zog.

I would have had him on instead of vlaar

[PeterWithesShin]

After 2 months out I don't blame him for not starting Delph. Zog makes a lot less sense.

I'm not entirely convinced the red card cost us the points. We created very little with 11 men on the pitch but we'll never know now.

We were playing well and easily the better side. I have no doubt if we'd had 11 men for longer than 18 minutes we'd have got a result today.

Possibly a draw. We had more of the ball but their defence didn't look troubled until right at the end.

[PaulWinch again]

One positive is that Okore and Clark looked good again.

Aye. I hope he sticks with them next game.

True. First time this season I've seen Hutton get skinned so many times too in the first half. Thankfully they offered little threat in front of goal.

[ciggiesnbeer]

By the way, if I was a Baggies fan I would enjoy the win, but feel more than a little freaked out that when playing against 10 men for the majority of the game West Brom still only had 49% possession. That is scary.

Aye. I hope he sticks with them next game.

Me too. If we could only work out a way of creating chances.

I have a few names Dave and intend to make a strong complaint. I have never in all my years been concerned for my safety at the football, but I am not exaggerating somebody could have been killed in the crush. There were women and children lifted of their feet and blokes pressed against doors and railings. I don't even care we lost. Bladen should be ashamed that he was apart of the response to a crush with the Police battoning people.
