¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I was just passing an opinion that the direct nature of the goals is something we need to lean in to a little more. On another day we recycle that wide and piss it away, trying to drag the opposition around. Baleba’s goal came from little build up, a lot of skill and a fair bit of...

Whacked it in from 30+ yards tho, didn’t they?

The celebrations were lovely. The team and manager need that big time and it was a great moment for everyone. Now need to use this momentum in the last few games and iron out some issues in training. Simplify the game a bit IMO. With all the XG research and phases of play, overlapping blah...

The delayed crowd reaction was quite funny.

👍 I stand corrected.

Isn’t retro from 20 years ago or something? That kit is 2020!? Hardly f***ing “rEtRo”

Horrendous. The top half of the front of shirt isn’t even retro. Pathetic. There was an opportunity but they’ve missed it badly here.

Die Sonne

Mbuemo’s goal to make it 2-1 is one of the worst I’ve seen recently. A catalogue of can’t-be-fuckedness from the back 4 + keeper. Midfield gave up as well. No plan of where that ball was going, no plan to step up and play offside, obligatory deflection off Dunk and a sympathetic dive from...

I fully agree. Was thinking about this earlier this season. I think we’d be f***ed.

I don’t know enough about it but I don’t think so. What I observed tho, is teams need to have an actual plan and passing patterns, and if a pass isn’t on then to not be afraid to go long and play some percentages to alleviate the press at times. The ego of some of these coaches is astounding...

Marginally, but he’ll be 26 at next years WC (if he goes). I’d say perfect timing. The bigger issue for me is him inevitably leaving. We have made a rod for our own back with our business model in that we are lacking captain / leadership material due to our selling policy. Not sure how we...

Please don’t come at me with stats and metrics, but I am happy for Pendro to be moved on sooner rather than later. I personally haven’t been impressed by him for a while and if someone wants to give us anything north of £40m I’d take it.

Out of curiosity, to all the fans getting the vintage footage out and talking about how far we’ve come since the Big Bang, how constructive / helpful did you find Potter’s history lesson comment?

To be fair to the poster, how long one has supported the Albion has nothing to do with thinking FH is a smug ****.

We aren't naive, we are badly managed. Our passing is atrocious. We over commit and get done nearly every week. This isn't bad luck or naivety but just crap coaching I'm afraid. I climbed down from the fence and on to Fab out after than 2nd goal. I would speculate that FH is starting to lose...

We look awful.

Given that Southgate called up Luke Shaw and an injured Maguire (fact check) you can’t dismiss the idea he called up an injured LD as well. The shame for Lewis is how overlooked he was during the years of his best football and it was too little too late from an international perspective. Nice...

Absolutely. I think this is why we have an ageing leadership problem. Who will our next captain be if we assume we sell anyone consistently good before they are 27 / in the top of their arc? Our current structure only really worked with Dunk in form and seemingly never going anywhere else.

This is a well balanced post. I was Rutter sceptical but I really like the guy now. I think in respect to him he is a success but the numbers could do with improving. His attacking involvement is good tho. He’s very skillful but his heading is poor, which is somewhere to be improved if he wants...
