But don’t worry everyone, we are watching the greatest Albion team that anyone has ever seen.

Lallana was the worst offender of all.

That was the best chance of the night.

He missed our easiest chances against Villa as well

i thought llalana was meant to be a good player. im like WTF. ive seen every one of his attempts this season and every one is hoofed in the air. he would be a great bloke to play as a rugby penalty taker - he'd score every one. :(

Yes! He picks the team, takes the training, oversees and is paid to make decisions, one win at home all season,

so yes, yes and yes it's Potter's ****ing fault otherwise we wouldn't need managers, wake up please mate.

75% possession. Nearly 30 shots on goal versus their 2.

Come on, even if you hate Potter. Are you honestly saying they deserved to win that?

Lallana should hang his head in shame. Should have buried 2 sitters and we’d have won comfortably.

If the players are as demoralised as me with that performance we are going down. I had a feeling of impending doom as soon as they scored their first. I am as gutted with that as the play off semi final. We always come up short when it really matters against Palace. Week ruined

FFS I'm not going to pin that on White.

He hoofed it badly, but there's plenty of opportunity to prevent the opportunity from that point to the cross coming in.
Abject defending.

Lallana's 3 misses were worse by my reckoning.

Today was about bad luck and shit finishing.

I have been following this club for too long, that injury time winner came as absolutely no surprise to me :shrug:

Have to say Lallana is the most useless allegedly quality finisher we have ever signed. He should be playing rugby. A complete waste of a wage

It's a bit strange that 2 of the highest earners (Wellbeck and Lallana) don't seem to start many games, even when fit (which admittedly is not often). Bizarre signings.

I need a hiatus from football. I'm utterly, utterly sick of watching us try to score.

Exactly how I feel. Our regular failure to win games we control coupled with the utterly shit atmosphere is too much now. It's gone beyond a joke and is just no fun when we need some uplifting stuff to get us through.

The criticism of Ben White is ridiculous. Yes he made a mistake but he has been great all season. We are not in a relegation fight because of him. There are plenty of others that have been poor for most of the season and Im including the manager in that as well.

At the moment who has the confidence to say we can score the goals to stay out of trouble. Not me. Complete lack of quality in the final third which hasn't been addressed. We are awful going forward. The worst in the division. Recipe for going down.

I think you're probably right but it's not just just strikers, our complete inability to play a good final.ball is a major issue.

Maybe they shouldn’t have wasted the entire first half passing it around the back 3
Not for the first time either

And he brings on Ali J to completely ruin our flow instead of using one of the strikers!

That's what I don't understand. To be fair, apart from the ending, that was an enjoyable 2nd half, with goalmouth scrambles and decent attacking but surely there were better options than Ali J.
