Buried his wolves one. He'll probably take the next pen we have if he's on the pitch, unless Gross is also on the pitch. But the best pen last night was Propper's, and that was also the one with most pressure on it. So maybe he should do it next??

Trossard yesterday just looked like he thought he was too good for them and wanted to walk through them. I haven't seen him play like that in the prem and hope its just a one off

Well in that case Brexit was supposed to allow us to adopt different regulations to that corporate-orientated mob. Either way I'm not going to miss an opportunity to bash Eustice, a poor quality MP at local and national level. As a scientist and conservationist I don't know enough about this...

Ah, my erstwhile MP. Doubt he'll be using it on his families (rather good) organic farm. This is the 'pesky red tape' that we were promised would go after Brexit. What larks! (they'll be next to suffer)

Lionel Messi is another player who is very one footed

As in the Murray thread and many others, players currently not playing in our first team become better than those who are in many people's eyes

After 17 games last season they were 18th with 15 points. I was amazed they didn't sack him then but well done and they're reaping the rewards. Takes time to get a team together. We're in a similar position now.

That's an interesting point, have they not told you yet whether you had the vaccine or a placebo?

Exactly the same. Christ on a bike

I do like the wing backs, Lamptey and March have been our most creative attacking players and our head frequently looked great. However I do have a slight issue that it becomes a very rigid formation, the two central midfielders sit deep and pass it square and never burst into the box...

Well said, everyone here can say their piece, we were all new to the Albion once :albion2:

I'd also like to see our possession starts queen 1 goal up, imagine it's not pretty reading. As for why, I think it's the wing backs that retreat and we go narrower into a back 5. This allows their full backs to get forward and we're then looking for the forward players to close down these wide...

Bilic was sacked for falling out with the owners, criticising them for selling a player in the summer against his wishes. Big Sam has taken over relegation threatened sides three times, Blackburn, Sunderland and Palace, keeping them all up, but this is surely his hardest task.

Taken to the premier league pretty well for a young player having his first exposure to the level, appeared in four different positions, shown frequent class together with a few mistakes. His value can only have gone up from whatever it was at the start of the season. The number of people who...

If he hadn't put his arm up the defender would have cleared the ball. Trying to get those little advantages is the heads-up clever play we need more of from our team, he didn't get away with it on that occasion, another day he will.

If he hadn't have put his arms on the defender, he wouldn't have gone down and Trossard wouldn't have had a one on one. Trossard did the right thing, a little shove and hope he gets away with it. Many weeks he would have done.

Trying to think of strikers who have been great from the first game of their professional career, and continued in that vein. Owen, Rooney, Rashford are three that come to mind. For 99% of those who become top strikers there is a developmental path to follow. Copy and paste fire the Connolly...

Can that second half be our turning point? Maupay was very keen to tell all the press about how he called for more battle and effort at half time, and I have to assume it was taken well by the squad - and probably not just him saying it too. They've guy to keep that fire.

Rather more chance of it being Leeds I'd wager

Our last four draws in order 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, 3-3. I just have it with this season, most frustrating ever
