Match Day Thread Baggies away

Zouma & Pedro start instead of (Cahill, Oscar)

Rondon starts for Baggies who is mini Costa. Saido misses out thanks to Spuds.

Biggest problem with Zouma is - He commits too much.

 

Looks like the messing around is over with a 2-0 lead established in the first 30 minutes.

 

Ivan is in Self destruct mode.

Fab looks so bad because Matic is not Matic.
Team hasn't scored, scores against us.

 

Scoring is easier there than missing.
Willian never settles for easy. Nando would be proud of that!!

 

Pedro is anti-Willian. That is the brightest.

Baggies with Fletcher, are awful and are relegation hopefuls.
We shouldn't give them any look in. Need atleast 1 more to ensure all 3 pts from this.

Defence and Centeral mid field very poor.

 

Much better.

Not all the way there yet, but clearly we are making progress. The hunger and desire is back.

Pedro is looking like a bargain too!

Roll on the 2nd half

 

A lot better but not there yet. Hopefully confidence will grow. Pedro looks a bargain too.

 

Surely Ivanovic isn't going to last another match day?

Otherwise good. This is how I expected the first game to be. Rusty but still leathal. We're getting there

 

I knew we would have a red card. Have to say I thought it'd be Matic but Terry gone! This is really a calamatous start to the season my word.

 

If that penalty had gone in you would be in trouble now.

 

We are. 2-3

 

And if my Auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.

 

Uncle Susan would just sound weird

 

wouldn't be surprised if Baggies reach 4 , than us.
we have one of THE worst defence in the league.

Ivan is s#!te - is it becuase of Eva or his contract?

 

Looking again, really don't think that should have been a red card - barely a foul if at all and Thibaut had the ball. Regardless, Terry's lack of pace was so badly exposed there. Ivanovic is also having a shocker.

The boys that served us so well last season are shooting us in the foot. Matic included. Everywhere else was looking better.

 

If Mikel is our response. No Hope.

 

On today's viewing he actually doesn't look far off taking Matic's place

 

I would take one legged Matic anyday over Mikel.

WTF was Zouma doing there for JT's red. He was jogging back. He didn't even try.
Ivan is the worst.
Azpili lets Dawson FFS, to cross zillion times .

Need entire backline.

Very lucky to get 3pts.

 

3 points. Good effort. Clearly we are strugglimg with shape and certain players being out of form, but i saw 11 (then 10) men give it their all and show both grit and quality.

After last week thats all i can ask for. Well done to the lads

 

Hawthorns is not a great place for us. Would have taken 3pts before kick off. Happy with the result. Not with many players & Jose.
