Nope it was Knockaert. It happened in front of me. Ward brought him down, Pawson gave a free kick to Burnley
No it wasn't
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
Ward obviously knew he had to block Bruno at any cost, so leaned back into him.

Not THAT bit of skill. The bit of skill Bruno did when he sent the Burnley player out for a programme before emerging goal side of him.

Same in my part of the North. Bruno has ascended to Albion Legend status I think.
Someone mentioned the kerfuffle at the end of the match - Dyche seemed to be wobbling over to it until Pawson got in his way (presumably for the hand over of the cash).
What are you talking about?
The bigger issue was the cross reaching that point and the gap between Bruno and Stephens, the fact your player was in front of him and shielding the ball (well), meant Bruno didn't have a chance.
If there's blame to be apportioned it would be towards Stephens for not reacting and closing that gap or Hughton for not positioning Hemed in a similar place to where Barnes/Mureay used to be under Poyet.

Apologies.
I agree, I really appreciate having been able to watch Bruno the last three seasons or is this his fourth? Anyway hopefully we'll get at least one more yet. Maybe he'll get one more year in the Premier league next season
Definitely Knockeart he took it past Ward who then recovered well to win the ball back.
There were two bits of skill on the West touchline.
1. Knockaert who plucked the ball out of the sky in our half who then lost the resultant tussle.
2. Bruno, in their half, who did some witchcraft to go round his man like he wasn't there. I turned to [MENTION=2743]Mellor 3 Ward 4[/MENTION] and said "How on earth did he do that?"

I remember it because I turned to my television and said "OOOHHHFFF!! HAHAHAHAHA" then I tried to do the Ali-G finger slappy thing.

Not just plaudits coming from here on NSC.
Even Birmingham has his admirers

like how their talking about one of our actual best players instead of wilson just because of the man utd tag like most articles on the albion do these days
Absolutely this. MAGNIFICENT.

Afraid that's nonsense as others have pointed out. Not much he could have done to stop the flick on. The true offender is Rosenior (who otherwise had a good game) who, if you watch carefully, is marking Gray as the ball initially comes in but loses concentration and drifts off him as the ball is bounced round the box.

Wearing that captain's armband, there is something increasingly magisterial about our hairless bewinged-sandalled warrior. I felt it interfered with his flairophilic nutmeg-on-toast ways at first, but the responsibilities he now carries are blending well with his efforts to bedazzle.
For all his little imperfections, his love affair with a football - stroking it, playing around with it, and gently controlling it before walloping it with venom - is a slightly dirty joy to witness.
