Match Thread West Bromwich Albion vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[BlueInNZ]

Another very poor selection and performance but the result is all that matters at the moment so onward and upwards.

Did you see the bench?

The thing is mate that midfield last night except for Doucoure was the same midfield Marco Silva use to play and it was a carbon copy of the type of performances we used to get.... and people want to know why the performance wasn’t outstanding... short memories ay! Carlo is literally performing miracles with this squad and that’s the truth.

Thats an excellent point and I think we often forget that. As soon as Allan came out we seemed to have so much more balance. Each day I wake up and give thanks that we have top level manager!

This season is all about results. I'm struggling to remember any of the performances from most teams this season, it's just felt relentless. Let's keep grinding it out and hopefully it gets us into Europe for next season, and with a bit of luck games with fans in attendance!

villa had a good 7-2 win early in the season
Looking back on it .it was only an average performance against a poor team

 

[Brisan123]

I like to think Carlo has played a masterstroke by completely resting James and Tom while managing to get us 6 points in 4 days. I dunno, I hope they're not out for Monday as they both should be playing. Sig has probably played his way into the team too but we can only play xi. I hope Seamus is fit but who knows. It's painful watching Mason at right back. Huge game Monday, jeez. I think Sig will start over James who probably won't be fit.

Pickford
Coleman Keane Godfrey Digne
Allan Doucouré Davies
Sig DCL Richarlison​

I reckon James will be fit for this
Carlo is using him sparingly this season
Only plays the big games now
When we are back to one game a week we will see him more regularly

 

[Brisan123]

I was thinking that.

its the haircut

 

[Brisan123]

Was working tonight, got to work an hour early to watch the 1st half. I then walked into an absolute [Poor language removed] show. On a breakdown until around half 9. I had a quick look at around 8 on my phone to check the score and to my delight we had won 1-0. I have recorded the game and will watch the 2nd half when my shift finishes. If you defend well you can win ugly against any opposition.

I work with a Chelsea fan
He took all the breakdowns from 6-8 ,I took the rest till we finished at 10
Nice system and we both got to see our games

Has anyone mentioned Hinchcliffe suggesting that Calvert Lewin could have been sent off for an utterly harmless challenge ? He's usually pretty fair but must have taken the dark side's filthy shilling.

He drank the soup OK

Its an irish thing

 

[Brisan123]

Once the personnel changes in the summer with 2/3 first team signings then the style will change but for now the formula with what we have is working.

I'm buzzing right now

Carlo is polishing a turd at the moment
A turd that is missing a few bits through injury at that

 

[Brisan123]

Who would you have played instead of Carlos selection
Mina ? injured
James ? injured
Davies ? injured
Olsen ? injured
Gbamin ? injured
Coleman ? injured
Allan from the start ? played Monday after 2 months out

Yes Carlo is getting us through this period, loads of injuries and some of those playing are not100% fit or anywhere near it, it’s not pretty but results count, and I’ll accept these performances with the injured list we’ve got, incidentally no moaning from Carlo about these injuries he just gets on with it.

Thats what we normally do but we was pulled out last night, myself and a kopite colleague both missed our matches. Well he caught the last 20 minutes of his.

Our day shift 7-30 till 3 is normally hectic
Lates 2-30 till 10 is normally a lot easier even with everything running
Less manager trying to make themselves look important
Anyway on to monday and another 3 points ,although I would settle for one

We got lucky last night, on another night we could've been down to 9 men. Turning your back on the ball (Gomes and DCL) could kill a man! What is going on with the media and Everton? It's laughable now.

It was an awful game, but as others have mentioned, you look at some of the key players we're missing and that bench and suddenly, a scrappy 1-0 win against a fat Sam side, isn't a bad thing. I've watched us enough (even this season) to know that those type of games are the games we end up losing. 3 clean sheets in a row.

At this point, I couldn't care less about the performance, it's huge that we're getting the results! I'm still hesitant and pessimistic to dream of European aways, but it's becoming harder to contain the excitement.

If they had scored first we wouldn't have come back last night.

We will need our best 11 on Monday.
