West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[aj2k77]

There's no chance of us staying up, we need a bucket of wins and have no one to put away half chances and neither do we commit enough men forward to score the goals to win a run of games. Albion were worse. A half decent Villa team would have took them apart today.

Sorry...I just can't

I am beginning to think we are going to be relegated by being unlucky across the season No it doesnt "even out".

[Goldie.7]

Just been to the game. Thought we were utter, utter garbage. Don't remember us having one clear cut chance and the two players who threw their shirts into the crowd afterwards should be embarrassed. Played like a team who are safe in mid-table. Someone needs to remind the players that they are bottom of the league and part of one of the worst teams in our 140+ year history.

Go for it. Let rip. But while you're at it, explain how passing the ball from side to side and then crossing it in to nobody constitutes good football.

It doesn't. We were absolute garbage from set-pieces to simple passing. No one was really closing down until Gana woke up and started doing it. Constant aimless pointing and hand waving, shooting from miles out and sideways after sideways passing. Other than that, we were good.

bunn - 6 nothing to do
Richards 6 did ok - could have seen red
Okore 6.5  did the job needed
Lescott 7   is getting better for us
Cissoko  6   defencely  he did great
Westwood 5 average - one decent shot going wide and a cross , not much else
Gana   6    average - sometimes does alright and other times just gives it away
Bacuna  2   - shooting and crossing - should be at peterborough
Gil     7.5  MOM   had a good second half
ayew 7     tries but a weak shot and a slip at the end was disappointing
kozak  6   couldnt get in the game but no one supported him

veretout -  not enough time - no idea why he didnt come on earlier
Gestede     oh well - crap at headers

baggies were truly awful. we have to be beating these teams but we just are not good enough
   

bit generous on Bacuna but agree with the rest

[adrenachrome]

We were the better side, but neither team was prepared to to go all out for the win. Both teams were so concerned with keeping their shape that they seldom pushed players forward.

By the time 60 minutes had passed I began wishing it was over. In fact, it was.

Under normal circumstances we would probably be relatively content with the performance and result. As it is, we need wins so we are disappointed. A decent striker would make all the difference, but we already knew that.

I think that's it. I think Garde is doing a pretty good job of making us competitive. He's definitely the right man for us.

[Brian Taylor]

A point is a point but more relevant point is can we get some wins in remaining games. Vidic and a striker. Something to get us through to end with a little dignity.

Just seen the interview from Remi on Sky - I love this guy. I think we must do everything to keep him for long term. He says everything that i think.

Agreed.

[Ron Manager]

Well I thought Garde picked the right team. The defence played very well Cissokho and Lescott in particular. Richards I should imagine was playing to orders. Both Westwood and Bacuna tried very hard but both lack quality. Gil was excellent in the second half.The major dissapointment was Kozak  who contributed very little.

Didn't have a clear view of the penalty so its pointless making a comment. The result was what a lot of us expected. What I didn't expect is that the Baggies would be so dreadful. All in all they are beginning to look like a team.

Specially the bit about the situation we are in, and that, we might not survive, but the players must show they care and try.

Completely agree he is absolutely spot on and knows what he's doing.

It's as if nobody wants to take any kind of responsibility for creating chances or scoring the goals that would make a difference. As soon as someone gets the ball they're trying to pass it to someone else.
