And I take my hat off to them, WBA were far better than us all over the park. We were in the game until Cats went off. Thereafter no-one knew what they should be doing in any situation and WBA all understood their plan and the executed it with style. We can not blame the Mig for having a shocker.. these things happen.... Let not mug WBA off here. They were the best team I've seen at the SoL since Anelka's display with Chelsea a few seasons ago. You can see why they have beat, Liverpool, Everton Chelski this season, they are a very good team. On to us. We looked light weight with regards to the size of us. It clearly looked like men v boys on the pitch and this was not down to the height of our team. We looked weaker and not as fit. Whether this is just down to pressure and me trying to look into why we aren't playing I really don't know. One thing I do know is MoN needs to use more than 16 players if we are to get out of this relegation battle because although people are saying we should get out of this, we are where we are because of results. On a side note, I can see things Improving and I'm not worried. I just thought I'd give my view as all I read is panic. Onward and upward. Hats off to WBA a great side to watch and a canny manager to boot.
Fully expected them to get off to a good start then everything to go tits up with SC in charge, in a fashion that is so typical of when a number 2/caretaker takes the reins properly. They so far, are proving me wring.
Must of watched a different match to me. In no way were WBA far better than us. Everything went their ****ing way. Being luckier is not being far better. As the skunks are now finding out since their luck ran out.
This! We were the better side and had more of the play and created far more chances..They had Mike Dean!
Fair shout but the fact the every chance they had they scored surly means they were better. Thier keeper was better because they let in two and we let in 4. I hate to tell you this but you earn your luck in football. Was Mike Dean was on thier side when he should have sent O'Shea off? Myself and the 10 others around me thought he was a gonner and laughed when he booked Long. That tells me that everyone knew O'shea was lucky and Dean screwed up. Funny how you forget what you want becasue you look through red and white glasses. My opinion was balanced on my view of the match and I was there to watch it. We didn't have a clue and they did, that was my point. I'm not saying your wrong but if you think we were better than them then you really are wearing rose tinted glasses. Heres to 3 points tonight which I really can't see us getting. We are in a relegation battle for sure.
So by that "bold" comment we must have been the best team in the league until 2 weeks ago as we had scored a higher percentage of our chances than anyone else in the league! I'm not saying we're not in a relegation battle but to say someone are a better side because they scored the 4 chances they had is stupid - we created more and better chances than them but when the ball bounced off their keeper it went out for a corner or fell to their player - every deflection and 50/50 ball fell to a WBA shirt - we were 2-1 down and looking likely to get an equaliser when Liam Ridgewell dived to take the pressure off and Mike Dean bought it - it was a disgraceful dive (but I can see why the ref gave it as I thought it was a penalty when I was at the match) so I don't really blame the ref for that but that doesn't take away from the fact that he's a cheating **** and I hope someone breaks his leg next match - cheats and Suarez & Terry (IMO) are the worst things in football ATM - and I will wish injury on anyone who cheats to win a game - Suarez included
