....our home record doesn't lie, it's not about atmosphere or the crowd, it's about us not having the ability to break teams down. The Baggies were missing defensive players but the manager had them organised. For those on here who complain about individuals, it's more about organisation than personnel.

Organisation is the responsibility of the coach.
 
I'll just say this.

Everybody but Rom played well in the first 11.

Kone came on because he draws attention away from Rom and in the past they worked well together. He offers a better presence in the box. It is the very definition of a Plan B. If you don't recognize that I don't know what to say.

Osman came in because he has good ball control in and around the 18. Kev is better in the break where he can use his pace.

maybe taking Lennon off could be criticized but Gerry was providing good service as well. Sometimes you don't get the luck. It's not like we played crap. Frustrated yes but not like stoke last season where we played absolute garbage

Oviedo and Barry provided decent balls from the left and Oviedo was basically playing as a wide mid as soon as Kone came in because we had all of the ball.

Barkley didn't finish well. He basically was in on goal alone and skied it. Our finishing was far more the problem than anything to do with the manager.
 

Seems a lot of fans drastically alter opinion from one game to the next...

I know it seems to happen a lot, but today genuinely was just 'one of them'.

Onto next week, take everything game by game.

Make a few tweaks as well. Bring Baines and Stones back, it's only fair, and give Kev a go as well. Still plenty of time left in this season.
 
Inconsistency is the word. Put a hardworking team up against us and we won't break them down. Newcastle bent themselves over for us, as did Carlisle and Stoke. WBA showed some grit and determination. No plan B etc.

But what's Pan B against a side that puts about 8 men in the box?
 
Listen.

We kept pressure on west Bromwich today, had far too many shots, hit the post many times, many last minute blocks etc

West brim turned up to defend, they man marked lukaku out if the box and between the 4 centre halves and 10 men behind the ball we didn't get the luck we needed.

It was one of Those games, subs were bad sure but in all honesty west brom planned to just shut us out and they did it. Anyone else today would have been hammered here.

the way the game was today, baines probably should have came on for Oviedo - the theory of oviedo starting as he is better defensively and faster was mute as our lb was basically playing as a winger all game, get the player on who can create
 
West Brom'sJonas Olsson speaking to MOTD: "It was tough. I think, especially in the last bit of the half, we were really on back foot.

"We are comfortable in our shape. In the second half there was some close ones but we were pretty much in control. It is a massive win for us."



I'd say they were resolute. Controlled? No way.

I would say that the inconsistency in terms of results, performances, subs and tactics shown on and off the pitch this season is linked to the opinions after the games this season.

As you said this is Brown shoes Everton Football Club.

Consistency is a vital component of long term success.
