He's been good when hes been passed to, Tiote seems content to hit it to the wings instead of Vuckic. A few good passes and through balls as well as a great shot, better then what most have did.

Colo got outpaced by a class pass for the first goal (not entirely his fault - did well not to get sent off) 2nd I thought was more Perch's fault tbh, he leaves his man completely!
Anyway, there's goals left in this game, we've had the majority of possession and shots - NEED a goal early in the 2nd so we don't get panicky!

To protect him? Good thinking!
Unless you had another reason for taking off our best player so far?
Mainly because our centre halves keep humping it straight over the top of them. Vuckic has been good, unlucky not to have a wonder goal and played a beautiful ball through to Ba.
Mine keeps playing the ****ing Jumanji theme tune every two minutes.
Best has done nothing. Guti doesn't want to pass to Santon for some reason. Colo is having a bad night. HBA for Best at half time, or give them 10mins to get their act together.
He's playing CM he needs to impose himself on the game. He's one of the players who should be getting the ball for us.
Tiote hasn't helped him but Vuckic doesn't look good enough to me!

The game, apart from a few moments of brilliance has largely past him by. He is not a CM at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if Colo wasn't 100% fit. Had Taylor and Willo been fit he probably would have sat out more than one match.
More goals in this one.

Vuckic has been kept out of the game apart from the flashes he shows...That to me is not enough..he needs to be involved in the buildup, not let Cheick do all the work himself(which isn't working)
What are you lot on about , Vuckic being rubbish , he has had our good game , il tell you the one to blame and thats Tiote , he really hasnt had any heart in this game and has won sod all tackles , and his passing has been very shabby. To me i reckon his mind is elsewhere on another club "Chelsea" , afterall he is good mates with Drogba !
Doesn't help things when we are playing long ball either, it doesn't give either of our CM's a chance. He has made a few good tackles as well as one on the edge of our box.
To blame anyone for the goals, it's Coloccini, far too deep for the first. Second didn't clear it the first time, Perch lost his man, Coloccini wasn't marking anybody, should be sweeping it up there.
Guthrie on for Best. Vuckic isn't looking for the ball enough or retaining it. Guthrie would be better, push Vuckic up a bit.

Vuckic hasn't been rubbish. But as a CM he hasn't imposed himself on this game at all. He looks a little bit of a luxury to me.
Still another 45 mins to go lad. But i think we'll all admit this probably the worst we've played all season with regards to keeping the ball. Colo has had his worst game so far and although there's been some nice through balls they've just been too hard or the touch has been too heavy. All in all i think West Brom deserve their lead. More goals in this game though (hopefully for us!)
We need HBA on not just to have more of an attacking threat, but also to pad out the midfield a bit with a triangle, so:
Vuckic --- Tiote
Becomes:
-------HBA-----
Vuckic --- Tiote
It'll give us more control, more stability and probably offer a stronger attack compared to Best, who is looking a bit anonymous and largely unthreatening on goal.

Link 2 wasn't doing it, give that a try when 2nd half kicks off, seems better quality too
