Lol. I knew there’d be bedwetters if we got a draw.

It’s really not a terrible result.

There you go abusing fellow supporters again for expressing their more than entitled right to voice displeasure at failing to score against a very poor bottom three side in 120 mins of football.

As for Porter. Had no idea how to change anything to try and influence a result tonight. Three strikers on the bench and your starters couldn’t score in brothels and the only sub is Davy Propper. Tells you everything you need to know about the quality of our manager.

For the first time I'm actually doubting Potters tactics.

Front 3 clearly needed a change, yet nothing.

I can't see Maupay scoring a goal again if he has to beat the keeper.

How can anyone defend Potter. It was clear as daylight that Maupay, Trossard or anyone else on the pitch weren’t able to score. We have THREE strikers on the bench. How many subs and how many strikers did he bring on to address the issue?

The guy is a ****ing clown.

Oh please, surprised we didn't see Connolly but you really think for a second that Tau or Zeqiri would have improved things?

Playing for a draw. Seriously?? Have you not been watching our almost constant attacking? people some people really distort the facts to suit their agenda.

Time for an early night.

Matie, I've endured the whole ****ing game. Constant attacking with no end result is foreplay with no climax. Shots against the legs of the nearest defender or blazed wide or over the bar. And that's not the first time.

Potter had options on the bench, really good options. And brought on Propper.

We tore them apart in the first half and last quarter.

Sidwell couldn’t believe it how Trossard and his mates were missing sitters.

Potter orchestrated that great attacking play. Whilst the players just aren’t good enough under pressure at tucking away gilt edged chances.

We won’t get any points in our next 4 games, 1 point against Villa and Palace will skin us which means 1 point in the next six imho based on this showing

Propper for McCalister instead of Lallana, Connelly or Tau is unforgiveable. Can't recall a worse sub (given the other players on the bench) in all my years of watching the Albion (30+).

Did their keeper have a decent save to make?
We are so wasteful and woeful in front of goal.
We could and probably should have lost that in the end!

I’ll talk things through if you want to out an argument calmly - but the team he picked dominated the game from 10-90 mins and just didn’t take chances / get that luck..? Don’t agree? So you thought it was a bad performance then?

On another night we could have won that 3/4 nil and would be purring at some of the football.

But it never is "another night" though, is it? It's always the same night. Bill Murray had a more varied life in Groundhog Day than we have watching pretty, ineffective football dished up to us week in, week out.

The most curious thing..
Can we get a refund on this squad?

Regardless of players missing sitters etc, how do you manage that game thinking only one substitution is required?

Pascal Groß had blown his doors off

He made no effort to change anything. At least try and influence matters. If he was happy with the draw then he should be removed from his post.

But when you are creating chance after chance you don’t need to change anything just for the sake of it. If we were creating nothing I would agree but we were all over them.

But week in week out it is the same thing. Played well. How didn't we score?

But we didn't score.

After a while it stops being just plain bad luck and it starts to become, well systematic.

Change the system.

The system is creating more than enough chances. The players are missing them. You could say bring on different strikers, but those on the bench are even less likely to score than those on the pitch.

Not good enough . Did ok patches but large parts of the game just drifting by as we lacked urgency and are just so predictable to read .

Add this to the Burnley , wba , sheff United home results

All opportunities that this manger has been unable to get true fire in our bellies for .

That was a massive game and we’ve strolled about at times

Needed a spark off the bench rather than proper to come on to chase shadows again .

Had hoped we had got through that spell but back into it .

If you have the worst home record in the football league you get relegated . As simple as that .

Very much Potter out still . Just more evidence to back that up .

Frustrating and disappointing . Have foolishly looked Forward to this all week . Should of known

Roll on Tottenham and Liverpool !

67 million loss !!
