    We discussed this last match. Our 2 FBs produced 4 assists & 1 goal. THAT is their primary purpose in Bielsaball. Attack, attack, attack. Defence is secondary. Would you prefer our FBs to remain in their own half to defend? If so, you effectively reject Bielsaball. Accept the risks!

    As above, the set chances set pieces leading to goals conceded 'appear' to stem mainly from that side. Someone with better IT skills needed to produce stats though, which I'm sure you've got.

    Oh, so it's set pieces now, is it?

    I thought it was an attack on our left wing defensive frailties.

    So why is it notable that these goals come from one side in particular? Surely it's still the same defence defending?

    I’m sure when our LB and RB get forward someone else in the team is meant to provide cover. Our left side always seems to have more space for the opposition than the right

    Yes, Phillips drops back. Are you suggesting that he favours defending the right wing?

    Oh great. Sky have just shown a stat that WBA haven't kept a home clean sheet all season.

    I like Harrison, but wish he wouldn't try beating 4 or 5 players before passing the ****ing ball

    I think sides target our left, because they know Alioski is often on the wing and lacks a bit of height and a bit of pace. If they attack that side more, they will get more chances from that side... irrespective of how well that side defends.

    Mate. It’s new year. If you want to be right then crack on, I’m not that fussed but go back and look at the goals we’ve conceded and tell me what you think.

    We should sign this guy 12Bet - he seems to be all over the place for the Baggies.

    I simply don't know what you're talking about & wonder if you do too. You start by apparently attacking Alioski & Harrison, then change it to free kicks originating on the left, equally illogically. Just wondering wtf you're getting at. What point are you actually trying to make?

    The reason Casilla is being booed by West Brom fans is the lad that accused him of racist comments at Charlon (Jonathan Leko) is a Baggies player, on loan at Charlton
