[Albion] Squad Harmony?

[Mike Small]

Pedro is a great player but I dont like the way he acts if he doesn't get the ball he wants.. saw him acting pissed off with Fergusson after Evan tried to thread a pass through to him and failed. That's not gonna help is it.

Was going to type the same. He threw his arms up in the air. Played a nothing ball to him and Evan wasn't quick enough to read his idea and we lose the ball. JP has been shit since Bournemouth. Absolutely f***ing useless given his ability. Southampton, Fulham, Leicester and Palace. Nothing but it's his attitude that has got to me.

He’s lost without Danny.

Maybe they should go paint balling, though the whole squad would probably get injured !

Maybe they should put on a production at a local thespian club? Some dullard did it once and his team beat arsenal.

But in all seriousness, if the squad harmony isn't there and people are moaning about playing time, they need to look at themselves as they had a chance to play more football last season and flounced and also dumped out one of the cups already.

I want the whole squad to feel really pissed off, I am with their pathetic displays recently. Not being able to hold on to leads and Sunday's effort was shocking. If they're not really pissed off they should f*** off.

Not seen indications of "bad squad harmony", but plenty of signs that our players are competing with each other as much as with the opponents.

We have like 10 players who think they're going to be Chelseas next £100m signing. So when we're 2-0 up against some shit team, players rather take a dumb hail mary shot to improve their stats and status rather than passing the ball to a team mate with a better chance to score. No way of saying that we would have scored another goal against Wolves or Leicester if people had thought more about 3-0 than their own careers, but I suspect it has cost us at least a few points.

I'm not suggesting that all players (particularly young ones) are smart enough to consider it when in the moment, but...

The collection and analysis of stats/data is sophisticated enough (and has been for some time) to make this a very bad idea. A bad enough idea, in fact, to achieve the opposite of what they are apparently trying to do.

A cool head and good decision-making that leads to a goal is what adds another zero to the pay cheque, not the showy hail-Mary. Silly boys.

I wasn't sure if this was one of Dave's kids getting ready to stand up for him / verify his source......

Lol, I will have to check it wasn't him! He did teach me a lot about football, if only he had taught me more about picking the right husband!

I saw Veltman, Dunky, Webster, Steele, Solly, Mitoma, Georginio, Bart and more out together last night, with partners, kids and pets.

I didn't want to bother them, though I was going to say hello to Georginio, but he spent ages signing up for some artisanal pet food.
