I said at HT that I was worried because this season we’ve generally had one good half and one bad one. And 1st half we were very good. If we can learn how to string two good halves together, we’ll be flying.
When the legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly said something very close to that, he was joking!2
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”
I'm sorry if this is an arsey comment, but I'm annoyed we got nothing from today's game after leading.......but how can we miss something that we never/rarely have?The big miss today was actually James Milner. Had we had him fit to come on when the pressure ramped up, calm things down and boss the excellent youngsters into prioritising control and game management, it could have been completely different.
Pedro would have made a difference second half today. Rutter seemed to run out of puff a bit, and wasn't as good as he has been last few games - so Pedro could have come on for him second half.We are not bottlers just not quite there yet. I think O'Riley will make a difference and March and Pedro and Gomez and Dunk...
We didn't have a 'bad' second half today - just not as good a second half as Liverpool had.I said at HT that I was worried because this season we’ve generally had one good half and one bad one. And 1st half we were very good. If we can learn how to string two good halves together, we’ll be flying.
Yep had a women and two kids next to me, when I said to her turn it got a mouthfulI thought we played really well today. Great game, even though we lost. But it seems we still have home fans in the away end!! Some bloke in our end celebrated Liverpool’s goals. WTF!!! how the hell do home fans get in the away end (and are stupid enough to show their true colours). Whoever is passing on their tickets to non Albion fans should hang their heads in shame

Jeesus, at least away fans used to hide the fact they were in the home end. I miss the days when giving them a good smack was acceptable.
Defiantly.were loose
No need for an apology. We're all feeling arsey. The kind of experience that Milner has either comes with the risks that come with age, or at a price that few can afford. The signing of Lallana had the same risks and was open to the same criticism, but when you hear the stories of how he insisted on standards that were much higher than the existing ones at the club and instilled that in the group, you start to realise that he was key to improvements in the players around him. Milner was signed for the same reasons and if Tony thinks that his money is well spent on having that kind of influence around his squad despite the risks, who am I to argue with the little genius?I'm sorry if this is an arsey comment, but I'm annoyed we got nothing from today's game after leading.......but how can we miss something that we never/rarely have?
Milner has been a sicknote with us more or less from day one, and apart from Spurs at home last season has been a complete waste of his (£70 grand per week?) cheerleader wages in my opinion
What happens when that ‘tough guy’ who feels confident in numbers, meets his match?
I’ve known a few including a cousin who operated in that way, there were occasional losses the other way.
