[Albion] Getafe match thread

[peterward]

His diving is rubbish.

I’d rather he simply tried to play football, score and create. The way strikers used to.

Possibly because he's not up to playing football, scoring or creating at this level, all he has left is to try and dive?

It’s all a bit like our shape, tactics and subs are somehow generated in a 1980s newsagent by a young lad going all out for a 20p mixup.

Four sherbet lemons, what were the odds on that?

Magnificent.

After a 1/4 lb of strawberry bon bons its was going so well. . . . . It was the space dust that did it.

Thank fck we don’t play in Europe. Teams entirely full of cheating Zaha/Grealish types, but after decades of practice, they could teach Connolly how to do it properly,

Modern day football is shite

It's a fitness exercise and a good test in that respect tonight. As for the real thing next week, we could be in trouble without reinforcements before window shuts!

Meltdown from a loss in a friendly coming in 3, 2, 1...

No just the fact we played almost the whole game with a striker who is championship level at best

This has been a very useful exercise. You learn from your failures, not your successes.

 

[peterward]

Just going to put this out there as I know there is very limited knowledge of European football on here and a lot wouldn’t appreciate this as they are not a ‘name’ - Getafe are a good side.

And if Marc Cucarella is watching, I can imagine him thinking, f*** that, theyre shit.

Indeed, never did Eddie the Eagle any harm.

That’s why I started to opt for wham bars and nerds and letterly jaw breakers… much more conventional and I knew what I was getting… severe tooth decay …

It’s also why I’m as toothless today, as our attacking options.

Hilarity prevails.

They knocked Ajax out of Europe a couple of seasons ago.

I’m not so sure it’s meltdown time just yet, that’ll come after 10 mins at Turf Moor.

Sadly.

Wiped the floor with them in fact.

If he was, wish he could have shared his stream

Really ? So why haven’t we addressed the most obvious area which for the last four seasons have seen us looking over our shoulders with about 3/5 games to go

Warren - 'Maupay and Connolly didn't have a shot on target between them'.

Do you think we will learn more from that, or if they had both scored from a tap-in, and we walked off the pitch happy?

 

[TottonSeagull]

Why anyone takes any notice of the results of meaningless friendlies is beyond me. It all starts for real next week!

Just realism of what’s to come

Entirely predictable with no decent strikers in the squad- nothing will change until we address the glaringly obvious issue

Streaming it or not, it's a poor effort by the club not to include a Match Centre on the website. Not that the 'commentary' is ever anything but shite, at least it could have listed the substitutions as they happened. Rather hard to follow - and keeping who replaced who in your head - listening to the radio commentary (decent though that always is).
