Should be an easy one this. West Brom really lack any sort of attacking potency so you shouldn't be troubled defensively. An early goal within the first half hour and the flood gates should open. West Brom aren't scoring, that's for sure

Was the ref not also against us? Literally, at 4 min extra when we attacked he blowed the whistle despite delay within those extra minutes. Then also this: "There was a touch of encroachment but when isn't there? Everybody was in the box. It had nothing to do with Santi Cazorla missing, but Mark Clattenburg ordered the retake, then changed his mind. Incredible."
If City and Pool draw, then that's good for us, only a point behind City despite today's bad result, so all is not lost, still very tight.
That draw ain't happening now. City losing this game only rubs salt in the wounds. We should be top... but there's no point dwelling on the result now. We can only hope Coquelin's injury isn't too severe.
The positives was that Alexis, Ozil and carzola were all sharp. Which we need. I think we will respond. One hell of a PL this year.
You knew this injury crisis was going to happen at some point and Arteta was never going to suffice as back-up. Coquelin being our only proper DM meant there was no excuses for not bringing in a back-up. I said. All of us on here said it. Almost everyone said it. Except for the one man who could have actually done something to sort this out. Bad day at the office, sure, but this is why I said I was worried in the long-haul and I got shouted down for it.
Not the first season this s--t has happened and it won't be the last unless someone at the club grows a set and demands change.
Next game is perfect timing for us... The ladz will want to put in a shift and a good response after this.
