Capital One Cup - West Brom build up thread.

Yeh brainiac, because the accusation *fucking obviously* included all the things you might say in the future as deliberate and bone-headed attempts to retrospectively prove me wrong.

Durrrrrr.

I've said numerous things in the past (as has Whaddpie - which you were silent on when he showed you). If you want me to dig 'em up most of them (like the below) so you can recant the accusations, just let me know ...

But to repeat - I enjoyed most of Rafa's stay here - it was a tremendous run, and he was so so close to fucking destroying Fergie that one season.

Legends are Watson, Shanks, Bob, Fagan & Kenny (1st stint only Ryan). I don't think Rafa belongs in their class ... Mind you, he's still excellent.

Duurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
How fekin sexy was that by Suso, just a shimmy and short pass but wow!

Just? Just?
World class by our Spanish magician. He got the attention of three defenders!!!!

You know that second goal is ace. The run and trickery from Suso to create the space and opportunity and lay off to Assaidi. That ball from Assaidi though - so much the right ball - and then someone in the box (a runner from midfield) to finish off. Thats how you play football. How many times have we had people in the right place and they've made the right decision as Oussama did ? Really encouraging. #excited

I shall hang my head in shame for just using the word just, I should have used a chain of adjectives.

I'm not sure if we are all feeling slightly delusional as a result of all he crap we have had to put up with one thing and another but there is something beautiful about a small Spanish chap taking 3 defenders out of the game with nothing more than a shimmy and perfectly weighted pass!
 
I really enjoyed that game.
The kids are more than alright!

Yeah, there's a part of me that thinks we should consider selling off our most prized assets (Reina, Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Enrique, Downing, Carroll, etc) and invest it in incredibly talented players for the future. A while ago I wouldn't even have given it a seconds thought but the emergence of several youngsters into probably the most inform first-team players and then the very admirable performances by our youthful squad tonight and against Young Boys, means that every player should have a price.
 
As much as the kids are a breath of fresh air, they will tail off in the next few months due to the demands. So, lets just keep some of the experienced players for now except downing.
 
I would look to play Suso in place of Shelvey for the next 2 games see how he does....
*Cough*

World class Turk on the sidelines...

Honestly though, I think Suso should keep his place on the bench and come on from time to time. Time to move Assaidi to the starting line up together with Sahin.
 
It was the play just before that impessed me - that and Coates through ball to Suso

It was the simplicity of the goal that makes it a great goal. Players in the right positions and picking the right balls to play

Yep. Jones has proved that he could "fumble" just like Pepe and is far less expensive 😉
 
Thanks for the links to the goals.
Ha. And is it just me or after Sahin's first goal, once they've shown the replays and then the camera focuses on Foster, the commentator says "You faggot, Foster. You faggot."
Ok, he made an error but too harsh surely?

Maybe, so I assume you would play SG as the attacking midfielder?

Totally agree Assaidi should replace Borini.

Correct. Based on his performance against Man U where he actually looked arsed. However if Gerrard doesn't cut it....there's always an option on the bench. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
 
Ha ha! Too funny - A bunch of kids narrowly beat WBA and suddenly lets drop Gerrard. 🙄

Yep, also if you watch it again have a look at Sinclair's movement in the middle. Just a great all-round attacking move. I hope on the highlights tonight they show the build up on the right hand side with the quick, intricate passing in such a tight area that preceded Suso's run from deep.

I was laughing at Sinclair jumping up before Sahin had even scored.

Modo uses the word, 'if' when making a case for Gerrard being benched.

Oh and that'll be the same West Brom that tanked us on the opening day of the season, yeah? albeit they had a changed team but then again so did we.

Mate you're not seriously saying that Modo's and Dahuge's post makes any sense? Really? I thought for a minute I was being whooshed such was the stupidity on display.

Haha, that's where the funds generated could be spent, to strengthen that position. There are plenty of good young 'keepers about, Lloris and Courtois were snapped up by Tottenham and Chelsea respectively, Mignolet is an underrated talent who could easily make a move up, Muslera is another worth looking at, same with Vorm. I doubt the fee for Pepe would be any less than these.
 
Did I say that we should drop Gerrard? I basically said that if he isnt playing well we have options on the bench.
I've actually been defending Gerrard in other threads.
