[Albion] Player Attitude - Ali J

[blue-shifted]

Alireza is unlucky Chelsea have the best goalie in the league, because if not it would have been a goal and an assist and he would have directly contributed to 3 points. Ah well

A goalie that couldn't cope with a cross without fumbling it or missing his punch completely is the best in the league?

Alisson and Ederson are the best.

Alisson and Ederson are the best.

I don't understand why we are 10/1 to go down when we are only a few points off the relegation places. Yet the teams around us odds are much shorter ? Bookies really don't fancy us.

Maybe they've seen us play?

Don't fancy us to go down you mean? Probably because 6 teams are below us. Newcastle are above us in the table but they've been awful this season.

I don't think Spence understands the fact that the bookies really fancy us, which is why the Albion are as big as 10/1 to go down.

It is strange.

For example, the multi £100m West Ham squad including Lanzini, Anderson and Antonio, at 5/1, us 12/1. Perhaps the effect of managing their book for cash flow eg loads (hopeful supporters of other London clubs?) lumping money on a WHUFC relegation?

Definitely. Taggart cleared out the boozing or trouble-making set on joining Manure. Except talisman Bryan Robson. Only wanting players eager to learn and fight for a place.

Hard to beat a collective spirit, led by a great man manager.

It’s interesting that in just one summer, based solely on training, friendlies and a couple of PL matches,Potter/Ashworth identified who to move out. Taking confidence.

Three if you include the French Prima Donna.

I always felt he lacked pace to beat PL opponents, which frustrated him. His game had peaked and was on the decline. Not doing so well at Fulham?

Incredible for us in the Championship though, we wouldn’t been promoted in 2017 without him. Unforgettable, a hero.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Absolutely agree with your assessment of Ali J; he has been relentlessly vilified in the court of Albion chat rooms and he has worked hard to show us what he can do. Long may it continue.....
I disagree about Locadia because I think he just reacted in a different way from Jahanbakhsh. I am sure he has the potential to become a good player, and Potter shows he can bring out the best from the squad. We shall see.........

Fair point. I hope you are right about Locadia, however I do think he’s much more interested in making music than playing for the Albion.

Nice to see Palace still in the mix there. Probably worth a small wager actually as they're clearly in a false position and the points margin means that they could quickly be dragged into the mire.

The odds are strange but I think it reflects the fact that (Liverpool aside) this is going to be one of the closest PL seasons ever.

Wrong thread for this stuff, sorry. We could do with a relegation hope/prediction thread really.....

That would be fun.

Good idea go for it.

This tweet shows that only Chelsea have an 'easier' set of remaing fixtures than us.

Webster is doing well in that regard in certain quarters...

I have a feeling Webster, as well as our once so called "too short" and now taken for granted goalkeeper, Maty Ryan, will again prove this board's pundits wrong.

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

How many other players have made the jump from ridiculed to fans favourites?

I can think of Johnny Crumplin - Football Genius - and Guy Butters.

Providing Webster can eliminate the critical errors he makes ( averages about two per game ) then he will start winning some fans over. Yesterday, he lost the ball to Abraham 30 yards from goal, who set up Hudson-Odoi, who should have punished us. He also, inexplicably, passes straight to the opposition at times, under no pressure. He has to improve his concentration levels and just work on doing the simple things well.
