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

[Paul Rideout]

Are we ever going to win a game comfortably?

Last game - city already won the league, saving players for the cl final

 

[Sadken]

It’s like the season we finished 4th under Moyes. Goal difference tells the truth that we are not a great side. Winning a lot of games by very narrow margins. Very strong at the back though. Still want a better keeper.

I hate it when Pickford comes out and then changes his mind, could have cost us 2 PTS.

Are we ever going to win a game comfortably?

If DCL buried that chance it would have been 2-0 tonight and would have been a lot more comfortable.

Same on Monday night if we’d have scored some of those early chances we’d have been able to control the game a lot more and won comfortably.

Performances are not outstanding but we are scoring goals, keeping clean sheets and winning. What more is there to want at this stage in the season?

We are in 4th place with virtually two months of football to be played. We’ve missed a lot of key players due to injury and had to use make shift fullbacks and make do with poor midfielders and no right side what so ever for a good 70% of the season. It’s miraculous we are where we are.

Gomez is worse than a bad Tom Davies

[Ollie d]

Scrappy result with not too much fluid football but three points, continuing a decent run.

 

[whiteshadow]

But we’re winning and have won 3 games in a row playing the same way. We need to stop looking at negatives. Look where we are in the table and that’s not even us playing at our best.

We've only played well in one of our last 5 games.

We're riding our luck atm, which if we don't improve our play will eventually run out.

Southampton and today could easily have been draws and everyone would be fuming, as usual.

Great to see Chippy Tit in such a rage. His hair was all over the place!

Also, my heart can't take these last minute scares anymore

 

[Eggs]

Gomes in midfield worries me he loses the ball a lot.

...lots about where the team can improve, where we can move up to the next level. I like Gomes, can improve on Gomes.

 

[Jim Hopper]

If we can recapture our early season form things could get very interesting.

Exactly with Allan getting fitter and James due back with Davies looking decent and Richy on fire with DCL still to go on another run it’s exciting. Things will improve no doubt about it. It’s hard to watch and Im the first to get frustrated in heat of the moment but it’s looking good.

 

[banno]

Start of season we had that attacking flair but defensive flaws now we have total opposite. As long as it gets us more wins than losses. It is something that we expect Carlo to work on in the pre-season with a couple of top signings

Al Pacino play Carlo Ancelotti in the forthcoming homoerotic thriller "Cruising To The Champions League!"

 

[Jimishorts]

was it any way enjoyable to watch?

I think you know the answer to this.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, 3 games, 3 clean sheets, 3 wins. One ending a 20 odd year record, one ending a poor run at home, one allowing us to equal a record not matched since 1986 (record number of away wins). It’s simple. Sign of a good team when you’re winning but not playing great. Whatever way you look at it it’s positive and progress.

Hopefully it will be a different and better team on Monday, rode our luck a bit today.
