still cant see the fecking game

 

[Swansman]

I could see WBA playing a couple of 0-0s this season

 

[Is it PotG?]

We were less frequently offside when Murray was on the pitch.

 

[Frutos]

West Brom hit the post.

 

[Washie]

We have dominated possession, yet they've looked the most dangerous.

It might have been a coincidence, but I tried several times to no avail. Then I closed down everything else, deleted my cookies, and bingo.

 

[Ozwald]

Think WBA have gotten into the game now, looking a bit more even.

 

[Frutos]

Ht 0-0

Very positive first half. Biss having a really good game, Lallana looks quality but has nothing to aim at in the final third, White looks comfortable on the ball and seemingly likes to come forward with it, Alzate is not a RWB, Ryan playing like another center half he's so far out of goal.

The Elephant in the room is clear and present - nothing up top. We appear about as toothless as an Old folk's home.

pre-season so obviously no severe worries, but it has looked like the same old story for us so far today. lots of nice possession but no cutting edge, very laboured up front, opposition much more incisive and generating the better chances. maupay looked anonymous at times, someone more imposing definitely needed to compliment his strengths. that said, some lovely football being played

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

We badly need someone with a bit of presence up top.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

We need a big centre forward.

Every time a cross goes in there's no physical presence in the box.

 

[The Fits]

Every pundit, every prediction is saying the same thing- we lack a cutting edge. We've all been saying the same thing for years- we lack a cutting edge.
I know it's pre-season but it's clear we still haven't found a solution to the problem. We must, must, MUST get at least one striker in before the season. It might not work, they might be another Joelinton, but we have to at least try! We're so, so close.

 

[Albion Dan]

Desperately need that new striker

 

[*Gullsworth*]

We are like a new born baby cute to look at but just as toothless

 

[Gabbafella]

They looked more dangerous in that final 5mins than we did in the other 40. We look more than comfortable up to the final third and then the wheels come off.

same old same old.

 

[Originunknown]

We need to find 2 extra gears and a bit more craft in the next week.

 

[Machiavelli]

WBA seem to have come to practice their defensive strategy.

A substantial part of it is to take ages over goal kicks. I seem to remember another Albion adopting that not so long ago.

It’s that last ball into the box we are suffering with
