West Brom 3 - 1 Newcastle United - 05/12/10 - post match reaction from page 38


Recommended Posts

Luckily our defence looks fairly solid so we have sort of rode the first half an hour out.

 

When you say defence, Jose and Tiote. When it's got past those 2 we've looked shaky as fuck, they're finishing's just not been that great.

We need to get Routledge on the ball much more.

 

Jonas imo - he's the only attacking outlet who can retain possession in the final third. As frustrating as he is.

 

Really? He can run it up there but WILL lose it.

 

He relieves the pressure though. Nobody else can - Tiote aside.

 

Sick of this urban legend being the only defence people have for Jonas these days.

 

Guthrie = not strong enough

Routledge = direct but not a possession keeper.

Tiote = First 2/3rds player.

 

Meaning Jonas is the only one of the three who can beat a few men and take the pressure off.

 

That doesn't mean he's always productive nor his delivery is always good but I think the point stands.

Frustrating performance by us so far.  Nobody really looking good with silly mistakes all round.  Jonas is having a shocker, don't think he's tried to run with the ball and beat his man once.  His yellow card was so needless.  Sol looking shaky on the ground.  Ameobi looking like he is having one of those games where he will lose the ball in good positions.

 

We are not keeping it simple and keeping the ball.  Not helping each other when under pressure either.  Fair play to West Brom, in control and causing problems.  Our marking and tracking of runs has been poor.

 

As I type this they score. 

 

:facepalm:
