Spanish Dave - MOTM for me

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Lopez and Orlandi were on a different planet to how they played against Leicester,so glad to see them firing again.

 

[Quinney]

Orlandi for me. Barnes and Spanish Dave were superb as well. Mind you Bridge looked good and Bridcutt as ever put in a great shift.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Lopez was great but Orlandi for me. Magnificent performance

This 100%, but Bridgey, Dave, Bridders and Barnes pushed him close

 

[Silk]

MOTM could have been anybody. It was a brilliant team performance

I dunno about anyone else but for me David Lopez was MOTM. Had a great game and was involved in practically every goal. Very intelligent passing and he controlled the game from midfield.

Great for Barnes to be named as MOTM but for me it was Lopez all the way.

Also, was good to see Bruno come on and play well.

Dave all the way, he assists, he scores, he breaks, he defends, he runs the midfield. Yes barnes scored two, but missed a sitter when the keeper missed kicked and looked slow to start with, thats not saying he didn't have a great game.

Barnes was the MOM for me today, his allround play was great but that was because he is playing where he should and not on the wing or in midfield

I agree. No one had a bad game. This has to be close to being the best Albion side ever. I reckon we'll do OK in the PL if we go up ...

 

[Albion Robster]

Dave's assist (back heel) for Orlandi's goal was flairtastic.

Barnes deserved motm for me. Excellent all round performance and an indication that if he played more often as a centre forward, he'd be rated a bit more highly by more people. Not that he'll get in ahead of Ulloa.

Absolutely this!

That sums it up perfectly......

[Seagull]

Great team performance everything clicked. But yes David Lopez had an awesome game, shading MoM from Barnes & Orlandi for me

We were blessed with the good version of Barnesy today, we see it so rarely, however he shouldn't have hit motm he owed us that performance.

I preferred Upson or Calde for motm today.

Dave again was great in the most part, not for the whole game but maybe we hold him to a higher standard.
I felt Orlandi didn't run as fast as he'd could into gaps & channels, didn't get past the player like we know he can, probably tired.

All had great games but u can't help Wonder if some performances would wash against decent opposition.

Personally I think Hammond's wondering is messing up the passing. He floats out wide and when doesn't get the ball he doesn't track back enough. We've got enough wingers we need Deano to cover the ground up and down the middle: box to box
If that was happening Dave and Orlandi would have made less mistakes cos Deano would always be available.

However, on reflexion it was all comfortably enough today, it was awesome and sunny!

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Barnes deserved MOTM for me, but it could have easily been Orlandi, Upson or Spanish Dave.

Great to have a game where you have many players performing brilliantly, if we keep this up - theres no reason we cant be promoted.

 

[slartibartfast]

Many of them could have been MoM ... Bridcutt - was terrific!

But I thought Barnes played very very well - anyone notice his pass out to Buckley for the build up for the first goal? Took his two goals well, and although he could have had a hattrick, that shanked clearance from the keeper took and age to come down, by which time he'd been closed down a bit... I thought.

So many great moments... the run and Messi-like curling shot into the goal by Buckley for the first... the little flick by Lopez for Orlandi to score the third... the layoff by Barnes for Lopez to score the fourth... The spin and cross by Lua Lua for the fifth goal ... not to mention Hammond's diving header(!)

 

[Albumen]

The whole team played well. Every single one of them, which bodes well ....
And what a Team. And lovely to have a striker back and refreshed who gets 2 goals as 2 assists.
A great day.

 

[JJ McClure]

SPanish Dave ran the show in midfield, but I would've given MOM to Upson who didn't put a foot wrong all afternoon.

 

[nomoremithras4me]

Vicente for me, his star jumps when warming up in the first half were on a different planet!
