[Albion] Premier League 14-16/1/25

[Justice]

Yes, this. Does us a favour overall.

The outlier is West Ham, but having seen the stats I’m assuming Silva and Potter went in the wrong dugouts.

When the Ferguson to West Ham loan rumour first appeared and I said it would be a terrible move for us, posters smirked like they are going to catch us up. Oh.

Nah, they’re good whatever. League position tomorrow isn’t that important. Arguably the draws are even better if we don’t win.

If we aren’t capitalising on the draws then no it doesn’t matter.

Won’t know for another 18 games

The frustrating thing was we battered them most the game and got done on the break!

We went searching for a third we didn’t need

Said exactly the same on here this morning.

We’d be nuts to help West Ham.

Story of their season!

Being exactly mid table he surely can’t move to any PL club on loan. Which ever way the arrow ends up pointing it could bite us badly.

I do think we will just get top 10 and a good cup run now, I'm over the stressing about Europe. Our injuries are happening at the worst times to our best players, all a bit meh to be honest. I'm in the licker camp that this is a season of build. One thing I will add though, is that this season is a huge missed opportunity if we don't get Europe because of our squad and the teams not in the top 6 who usually are in what has been a very unpredictable league.

I can’t believe anyone on here is pro-Forest. Their owner is a bully, they blatantly broke PSR rules, then cried about it, they play football which is a throw back to the 90s but worse. They are where they are because unlike most teams in this league this season they’ve hardly had any injuries and have been able to put out a consistent core of a team in most games. The percentage football they play would have made Harry Bassett proud and reminded me of us at home in the EPL under CH.

I can’t believe the number of people saying what a great game that was tonight. Forest were at home, they are 3rd in the league, yet they set up and looked like a L2 team playing an EPL team in the cup. On another day Liverpool would have scored 4 or 5.

Forest play 'simple', 'basic' football and have an old, but reliable striker who takes his chances. Possession means nothing if you can't turn it into goals. We have been at our best when we have moved the ball quickly.

Luck & referees do play too large a part but it goes back to simple things like it easier to score a goal when there are 3 defenders back rather than 10.....

Funny that - I don't remember us being in second place in the PL in those days.

Exactly what I said would be decent at the start of the season given all the changes to the squad and management. Add in the injuries and it’ll be a decent return.
