West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[bob]

None of the players seem to be thinking, at any time.

Decent result normally but it's 3 points we need.

I really think - and I never thought I'd say this - we need Shane Long, or at least a player of his type. We have the predatory instincts of a dead sheep in the penalty area.

At the end of the day the half wits didn't beat us.

So dissapointed with Richards, time and time again he had the chance to attack down the right. He either did not move or just played the ball back inside.
One huge sulk.

I was going to post exactly the same thing. He appeared to shake his head when Garde took Gestede off for Veretout, displaying a complete lack of respect.

Richards looked like he was playing in first gear. Lots in his locker, but he represents someone who simply cannot be arsed.

Garde was apparently going to bring him off, so he seems to have similar thoughts

[in exile]

We were in control but without quality to finish.

I never want to see Bacuna represent us in any way, shape or form again (not the first time this season I have mentioned this).

Apart from that, just how poor are Rondon & Beraheno or however you spell it?
Total crap from both of them.
Thank god for small mercies

Apols for double post

Ordinarily I'd bang my head repeatedly on the wall at a suggestion like that, but actually, he would be a good signing as he'd be ideal for next season. But that depends if he's willing to drop to the Championship. I think he's one of those players who's not quite top level, but too good for the Championship.

Avoid Match of the Day tonight then  - Sherwood is pundit apparently.

It'll be interesting to see that penalty claim we had. Spoke to a mate who was there who said it was nailed on. That would be 2 definite pens we've missed out on in the last couple of games.

[Edvard Remberg]

Seriously - no one seing positives from that performance away from home in a local derby? These were the games we would have been thrashed under TS. We fucking played football from the back, and not a dissaster as earlier - At no point (beside flashbacks to earlier games) did we fuck it up at the back, which has cost us 10 points (my guess) this season. With this mentality we would not have only 13 points

[QuintonVilla]

2 points dropped, they're absolute toss. If only we could cross the ball and had a decent striker.

Embarrassing for them playing for a 0-0 at home against one of our worst ever teams.

[Goldie.7]

Garde's a very good manager. Controlled the match without looking close to losing.

A proper striker well short all season.

Yeah right. A good manager would of played Veretout from the start and took off Bacuna at least before 60. He also would of went with two up top. Garde has produced nothing worthy of such praise, remember we've only won one league game due to a GK error.

[Chris Jameson]

Shit manager with shit tactics, mixed in with a load of morons claiming to be footballers producing extremely shit set-pieces and shit boring football.

I take it you are talking about the opposition?

As big as it can be - not even debateable - huge huge penalty, and Ref 10 yards away.
