[Albion] Premier League 3-5/2/24

[Eric the meek]

HHHEEEYYY Neal Maupay.

Lovely work from him defending a corner too.

Brentford currently 14th.

Above Palace, who drop one place. And so it begins.

Flekken is having the game of his life already

It’s astonishing how #teamslikeBrentford rely so much on other teams missing their chances and how often, their opposition obliges. That Haaland chance FFS.

Yellow for Maups

Love Neil Maupay

Never should have been allowed to leave… a big game player.

Another stroke of genius from mr emotional intelligence.

The more I reflect the more my distaste for Graham Potter grows. What an absolute tosser.

I reckon Roberto would have loved him.

I liked Maupay and still do, but he threw a strop when he fell down the pecking order. Hardly Potter's fault.

Come on the shithouse

They, as in opposition 'keepers, normally do that at The Amex. Mind you, after Saturday.

 

[Albion in the north]

City have had 12 shots in the first half hour of this game. Brentford have had 1.

Le petit shithouse to you.

Potter couldn’t coach a striker if he tried… his failings saw Maupay lose form and his edge… it’s taken him years to recover.

Graham Potter’s reputation FAR exceeds his skills… but nothing exceeds his own hubris.

Awful man.

Behave it would be Oliver Reed/Ralph Bates inside the first 20 minutes of training.

MADE for Palace then

 

[Javeaseagull]

City are definitely rattled

I disagree, a bit more than I agree. . . . He has all the mental attributes to be a Bobtalian Wunderkid (with a whiff of Andone - which is always a risk) but I just don't think he's good enough at sharp fast passing football to be in our starting 11.

Scored a great goal just now, but it didn't look particularly convincing or in any way authoritative to my eyes.

Maupay is a text book something out of nothing striker… he’s never likely to smash in 15, but he has the uncanny knack of important goals at vital times… I’d have loved him to have been around for our semi final last year… just the type of game he’d have scored a 35 yard volley in.

But Potter coached something out of him errrrrrrrmmmm some edge, spirit and ultimately … goals, any of them - important or otherwise… he was an absolutely horrific coach for strikers, catastrophic even.

Potter stumbled over some good players, almost entirely by accident… others he simply turned vanilla, wraith like… like I say, it’s taken Neil 2 seasons to recover any of his former swagger.
