[Albion] Diego Gomez

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Villa had a 3 man midfield two of whom are quick and skillful and the other is a big, fat bastard (McGinn). Not surprising that our 2 were overrun at times (quite often). Baleba got through a lot of work to stem the tide.

Tieleman’s?! Classy player that he is, he’s certainly not quick! One of the slowest CM’s in the PL.

OK. He looked quick enough on Monday though.

For large parts of the game, we were completely bullied by Villa. I am hoping Gomez will bring a little more physicality to our midfield, I am less worried about the timesclaes of when he starts.

They certainly had 15 mins either side if HT where we looked like being overwhelmed, but other than them pushing hard against Igor, I don't think the gulf was that wide... McGinn was the difference.
