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


Recommended Posts

Guthrie is just so immobile that we are getting stretched far too much in midfield leaving us exposed no end. Missing Barton a lot. Also, there's such a large gap between our strikers and midfield that its impossible for us to keep the ball and start an attack when we just lump it up to the lethargic pairing of Carroll and Shola. Bring Ranger on for Ameobi and shoot Guthrie preferably.

 

Hopefully this gives us the kick up the arse we normally need.

Guest SuperShola!

Why are people suggesting we bring a player on that's not even in the squad? I'd prefer Ben Arfa myself.

 

Messi.

Wow. That was a terrible half.

 

Thought we'd miss Barton going into this, but the person we've missed most is Nolan IMO. A midfielder willing to go forward and give the opposition something to worry about. Really losing patience with Guthrie - he's the new Jermaine Jenas without any of the fitness, sideways passes all day until we lose possession and then he becomes an even bigger passenger. Chance to redeem himself with a set piece delivery and he ballses it up.

 

Routledge anonymous.

 

Given our lack of options on bench, were it not for my faith in Hughton, I'd be tempted to take a 1-0 loss at this point.

 

Seriously depressing half, and their fitness looks top class compared to ours. Thank fuck for Jose or we'd be dead and buried.

Preposterous decision to play Shola, yet again.

 

He does nothing. For 9/10 of the game where we had no possession, he half heartedly wanders around the pitch, trying to close down the ball- he loses every single fucking header as well

To be fair if we brought on a player who isn't in the squad it would probably improve things.

QFT. His inclusion, even if he's playing well, will always fuck us up because he has no ability to hold the ball up and nor can he run into space meaning the wingers need to have worldies every game to compensate for his inability to partner Carroll up top.

 

Fucking waste of time.

what a disheartening half. Guthrie is staying true to his stereotype - he's not up to premiership football playing like this, he really looks miles out of his depth.

 

Shola's been crap, though if we take him off we take off one of our biggest goal threats. on the other hand ranger would probably improve our general play and is full of the energy we're lacking :undecided:  not seeing an easy way back into this one - just hope we make something for carroll, perhaps from a set-piece, and try and keep a cleansheet for the next 45. easier said than done.
