Martnez explained it differently (maybe being diplomatic given missing personnel) that he knew WBA would press under their new manager and he wanted to go more direct to Mirallas/Lukaku.

Didn't think they pressed us any more or any higher than other teams. Normally we have the composure to play through it, usually by Pienaar finding space somewhere. Maybe the direct approach would have worked if we'd had a bit more energy to win second balls, it did lead to a goal after all. In hindsight, I think it would have been far better to play Oviedo left and Mirallas right and try to dominate play down the wings.

bad kopite comments on here because we draw against West Brom. It was a game we thought we should have won, we never, move on

Like the 1 point from 6 from the Xmas games...it's nothing new this. And it's not a one-off.

It's an indication that we're losing pace. The other 5 candidates are rarely dropping points. With Liverpool also losing pace it might end up being between the Merseysiders to battle it out for 6th spot.

Just can't see it mate.

We've been in this position tonnes of times, going into the derby knowing we're capable of a win, looking at the squads on paper and saying we're stronger. It doesn't seem to matter, we never win. Something will happen to go against us, be it further injuries against Stevenage or more likely penalties and red cards in the derby itself.

Draw at absolute best, and to me even that is unlikely.

Shut it. Only thing we need to do is score one more than they do.

ach, hau ab mann!


:P
 
People now writing us off in the Derby? Did you see them against Villa? It took Suarez at his very worst to get them level.

8 days until the derby, get one or two in, Barkley and / or deul back and we are set. Lukaku will be well up for it

The other two candidates are Spurs and Man U, who obviously are dropping enough points to be a sole point ahead of us and five points behind us respectively.

We are not aiming for Citeh and Chelsea, and for now Arsenal either although I do think Arsenal will starting to drop off. Maybe not enough for 3rd place to be vulnerable but for me it's not impossible.
 
Unbelievable how he got that cross in for the goal. Had two of our lads around him, just casually walking their dogs.... pathetic.

Should never of had the chance to get that in.
