[Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

[Weststander]

All 3 of the main midfield players were poor.

But only one of the scored the equaliser.

Iwobi ran through and around the lot as if they didn’t exist. Baleba compounded this by giving the ball away.

Something we can agree on

 

[Machiavelli]

Well, in 33 appearances for us he has 5 mistakes leading to goals for a start, 3 of which are this season. I'm assuming those aren't made up by Opta.

Don't get me wrong, I love him and he's a brilliant keeper, but I still think he needs to sort out that element of his game. If his name was Steele or Sanchez, this site would be a binfire.

Opta are probably right, but this doesn't accord with my memory, so will be grateful if you can point to what the other two are. We will have worse stats on that front because we play out from the back, but I'm not so sure that Opta will be counting in their 'mistakes leading to goals' a goalkeeper hoofing it towards the half-way line which leads to a goal via a rapid counter-attack.

My memory has got somewhere since yesterday: pretty sure BV was culpable for one of the Chelsea goals, the fourth I think (but not the only culpable player); he definitely made the mistake for Solanke to score for Bournemouth in home game last season; obvs, Fulham the other night. That leaves two.

He's here a year late!

 

[shingle]

Hands off Mats, he had an ok game against Fulham. Will get better with a bit more game time.

I don't smoke the Wiefferrrrr!

Key player developing. Class.

 

[Zeberdi]

Key player developing. Class.

Showing what he has in his armoury - speed and agility.

 

[mothy]

Having his best half so far

 

[sagaman]

Played well today

 

[martin tyler]

Him and Lampety were the biggest positives. Disappointing result for a game we controlled

 

[Bakero]

Yep, Wieffer did well today.

 

[topoff]

I agree Wieffer looked great today

 

[Arthritic Toe]

I agree Wieffer looked great today

He did ok - but just looks and moves like a cart-horse.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Looked better. Him and baleba is the way forward. Baleba isn’t good sitting infront of the defence.

 

[Jeremiah]

I agree Wieffer looked great today

Unfortunately he , and our defence, disappeared when they were needed.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Unfortunately he , and our defence, disappeared when they were needed.

Not sure Wieffer (or anyone else) could do anything about Igor deciding to try and dribble out of our penalty area and basically running into a blind alley and losing the ball.

My Albion MOM today. Well done Mats
