far too lethargic......the attitude doesnt seem right for a team who is wanting to challenge...lack eagerness
Harry has got to kick arses. Bring Defoe off, for a start. WBA are not going to give him the kind of space he needs to make a difference, and he simply is not good enough to dribble around players. We need footballers on the pitch today. Not t-shirt merchants.
I think Thomas got injured just before he was booked, Pat. He indicated that he needed to come off, but they didn't have anyone prepared.
shows the depth of the squad in all honesty PNP..against a team like WBA we should be comfortable making the odd change and not letting it effect the flow of our team...what amazes me is how much we miss Lennon..yet we send A.Townsend on loan....baffling
45 more minutes and then he can rotate for the next game. Is this the old Spurs? Dominate and concede late on--Pleeeeeas no. It's what happened with City and Sunderland.
Fair enough but who are we going to bring on to replace him? Our bench doesn't exactly scream creativity.
VdV's corners are better than Modric's, at least they beat the first defender. JD is not in it, try Kranjcar instead? Also not so kean on Bale in a more central role, I'd rather see him stretching their defense.
Van der Vaart tops the distance covered stats, again. No wonder he always burns out with about 20 minutes to go.
exactly..we dont seem to have wingers for some reason..baffled once again....BAE is more advanced than Bale on the left and there is nobody on the right
Defoe off for Kranjcar, and move VDV up front. We know Niko is a match winner, and we need someone to produce a goal to open the game up ASAP.
you will often see him in line with our centre backs looking to receive the ball in order to start off an attack...he does play deep
Good start "Anon via text: Defoe, Van der Vaart and Adebayor don't play well together, and Van der Vaart can't play on the wing! Kranjcar should be on the pitch and Defoe as an impact sub." - Disagree with every word. How have West Brom gotten away with just one yellow so far?
