Great performance from Macca today. With a little more rub of the green he could have had a hat trick.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
I'm Team CMS - and proud of it.

If that's ok I'd love to see him have a good game in your eyes! Give the bloke some credit he was awesome today & never stopped chasing. Could easy have been MOM and luckily most Albion fans agree with that and not your 'ok' analysis!

His first touch still wasn't what it should be in my opinion. He didn't stand out as an attacking force in our team. When we get Ulloa's replacement I think everyone will largely agree

If he'd put his overhead kick in, and the goalie hadn't made a world class save, CMS could have made it up to the dizzying heights of mediocre.

I agree we need a striker or 2 and I agree CMS doesn't have a good first touch but that's something that will never change. In terms of his strengths he ran the channels superbly today!

So he ran a lot again then? Great.
To be fair, that shot the keeper put on the bar was top quality. He did well, but there were better players

Impressed with CMS for a change along with Dunk

Did he not create the space to shoot with his appalling first touch?

But his workrate is a huuuuge attribute - had he not done it today there's have been more pressure on right. And when I say running the channels I mean also controlling the ball & holding it up. He also had some great touches today. So proud to have him wearing the shirt today & I'm not just saying that mate...
He played well, but he did also have some poor first touches. I seem to remember him getting the ball on the right and having Crofts and JFC completely unmarked centrally in the box, had a great opportunity to play either of them in, instead he put a poor shot wide. Another incident where he was played in behind the defenders and faffed around, and tripped over a ball he shouldn't have, then lost the opportunity for a second. A lot of his running seems wasteful.
That sounds really negative, I don't mean it to. Generally he had an good performance, but there is notable room for improvement.

Might as well get some love in for the beleaguered CMS.
Who knows tomorrow the ball might hit the crossbar, post, then goalies shoulder finally grazing CMS' ear before going in.
Clearly it'll be the only way a player so appalling could ever score.

Absolutely. Something important missing since then though...

I'm loving your commitment to him Stat, I so want you to be right, I'm on the fence and want to play in your garden, but I'm not sure the pool, the sizzling bar-b-que, the bikini clad sunbathing girls on your side are not just a mirage. I'm worried the pool is actually a disused pond with a shopping trolley in it, the bar-b-que is actually a bonfire pre-6pm, and the girls are actually nurses strapping you into a chair ready to take you away…….
That was a great goal in which remains probably the best match we've seen at the Amex.
So too was the scissor kick at Burnley - fabulous technique. But honestly, it's not a great return from probably the highest paid striker we've had in the Amex era is it?
