I don't dislike footballers who just aren't good enough but when they chicken out of every challenge then that annoys me, it has nothing to do with talent, just pure gutlessness.

David Lopez - real hatred from an Albion fan

Listen to me!!!
If this team wants to progress, then we should not be starting with players such as David or Andrews. They are average lower championship players, we are a club looking to reach the PL in the next couple of years. If fans are happy to watch players like them every week then fine, just dont expect us to progress with any speed.
We need better players who put in a performance week in week out, not once a month ( if we are lucky )

100% agree. Not sure why Orlandi plays in that central midfield role, but Lopez isn't. Today seemed an ideal opportunity to try it
Its ironic that Wendy Wilkins was also at the Amex today!
You don't go but you defend him because you have seen his free kicks on player, ok. I have every right on here, at the ground or wherever to say he is a bottler and not worth his place.

Poor season, poor game today EXCEPT for that sumptuous cross field pass in the first half to Lingard. The ball must have travelled 50 yards and it was absolutely faultless. No one else in our squad can do that as well as him which is, I imagine, the reason the manager sticks with him.
He could break the world record for jumping out of tackles if he played centre mid.

Lopez is good going forward but defending is just awful lazy and doesn't put a tackle in at all !

As other have said , Lopez is petrified of a challenge. Must try harder.

and he'd probably complete many more assists.
He had quite a few instances where you could tell he was petrified of the thought of a physical challenge to his person.
However that one in midfield capped it all. To turn a 70-30 ball into lost possession with no tackle "Just in case I get hurt" means he really shouldn't be putting his boots on. How the management is picking him after his season is beyond me. First of all I thought they were persevering with him until he came good now I'm wondering whether they are clueless.

Would be lovely........as would world peace, an end to all famine and maybe Robbie Savage even making sense.
If you play centre mid you have to be a lot tougher than our David is.

We all moan and groan at our own at times, that's football. Bit I just can't ever imagine calling one of our players a King Canute?! But then pre game on the north stand concourse watching Arsenal game, there was a guy getting so animated swearing etc (in Albion clothing) that I do wonder if some fans have got real issues. How can you get that angry when it's not even your team?!!

All this 'get stuck in' nonsense reminds me of when we had Paul Brooker in the team. People spent 2 seasons slagging him off for not making challenges and when he finally did he got sent off at Selhurst.
I'm much more a fan of standing players up and forcing them to lose possession.

Apologies JR but IMHO the 'after you, Claude' approach is not working. an OG and zip all chances on target at home is not what I would hope and expect from my team in all honesty. Need to step it up.
Am I the only one that has got the point of the thread? There were a million and one things to get more angry about today than Spanish Dave.
The ref. Both linesman. Adkins. Drenthe. Longish queues at the concourse at the end of which you got dry pie or dog burger. The fact we're still selling this season's kit. Gordon Greer. The kids who screamed in to the mic at half time. Heart FMs playlist (lite) on the PA at half time again.
Ok nine more things to get more angry about.
Yes he bottles tackles but that's not his job. He sets up and scores goals. When you only get one per game that's quite valuable. Plus WE DO NOT PLAY CONVENTIONAL WINGERS.
