So.. West Brom

[Whirly]

Balotelli plays Sterling in brilliantly.

 

[Mystic]

Sterling's touch...

 

[cloggypop]

Great pass from Mario.

 

[Fabio]

Gerrard had been much better today

 

[Cerberus]

Beharhino... Or however you spell it, won't be at wba for much longer

yup he's boss

 

[darkstarexodus]

Nice movement and Gerrard has a go.

I like moving him forward here, at this stage of the game.

 

[Mystic]

Gerrard had been much better today

Yep, but he's had it easy.

 

[Fabio]

Great pass from Mario.

You surely must be mistaken

 

[OLD_Lewy]

great seeing stevie further forward

 

[Judge Jules]

Berahino's been good for a while now. I'm a little surprised he's still at W.Brom TBH.

 

[Mystic]

GERRARDS GOING FORWARD, I REPEAT, GERRARDS GOING FORWARD.

 

[Fabio]

Yep, but he's had it easy.

He has, everything is going over him rather than through him (defensively I mean)

 

[darkstarexodus]

Gerrard had been much better today

Much better indeed. Hasnt been manmarked to the same degree and much more of our play went through the more advanced midfielders.

 

[Fabio]

I'm confused, mario is passing a lot and helping us to retain possession

 

[OLD_Lewy]

we look well better with stevie up front and hendo deeper, we dont need the quarterback passing stuff

 

[Mystic]

It's almost as if Gerrard was good at this attacking football lark.

 

[SummerOnions]

Lovren is fucking shaky

 

[Fabio]

If we bin off the high pressing game, Gerrard could play further up very well

 

[Delinquent]

Nice to see Gerrard further up the pitch for once. It's no coincidence that we look more dangerous as a result.

 

[Whirly]

It's almost as if Gerrard was good at this attacking football lark.

Don't think it would work for more than 20 minutes.

 

[SummerOnions]

We've improved in our quick passing as the game has gone on. Defo improving as a team

 

[darkstarexodus]

If we bin off the high pressing game, Gerrard could play further up very well

I think part of the problem this year is that we HAVE binned off the high pressing football. Just havent replaced it with anything else.

 

[Mystic]

Sebastian Blanco? I didn't see his name on the team sheet.

 

[Mystic]

Don't think it would work for more than 20 minutes.

I completely agree, I think this is a great tactic for seeing out games once we've got a lead.

 

[Athens]

Could he not have played the Advantage?

 

[OLD_Lewy]

oliver you absolute shitehawk

 

[Whirly]

Lovren shooting there...ugh

 

[SummerOnions]

Johnson has looked great since he came on. Using his experience of when to be really lazy and waste time

 

[Mystic]

Could he not have played the Advantage?

The referee has been a bit Glen Johnson today.

 

[Mystic]

Lovren shooting there...ugh

It was a great way to put us under massive pressure, stupid decision.
