If we can then we should get rid asap.

I think they are the "soft" team this year, like we were last season.

If I see that team Pete I am going to cry.

I would go with:

Stek

Holgate Williams Jags Oviedo

Gana McCarthy Dowell

Bolasie Lukaku Gerry

Spot on Newty

I didn't see anything wrong with it, just a little bit of banter! Surely that's half the fun of mixing with other fans.

We will see how song it lasts with Mirallas. With Bolasie, Lennon, Gerry and the new guy competing for two spots I can see him getting a sulk on again!

Completely agree. Koeman has even said he is the greatest player he has managed which is something.

 

Bit like Rick Stein then .

That made me laugh a lot more than it probably should have!

Not having this, you were totally West Brom specific...

 

 

No generalisation at all, read it and weep and then offer a grovelling apology, I know you're man enough .

 

Pedantry free zone .

Nope if one person gets it you can all get it

This game last year was about the only game we did win so I wasn't going to forget that!

You've just offered him a way out for his possible brainfart. Bad form, Joe, bad form!

And another one! :shaking fist:

 

Last year we beat them 3-2 .

Generally throughout the season you pedantic git

He was very good but also wasn't really tested. He was just doing what he always does in anticipating the attacker and stop chances before they were created.

We did really well to get back into that but if you take away our couple of chances at the death when WB were pushing for an equaliser, they probably had as many clear cut chances as we did. Last year's ours missed and theirs went in and thats the fine line.

I'm impressed that Koeman switched things up so quickly as it did make a big difference and when Bolasie came on he was a handful.

I know it was only a cameo but I wasn't as impressed by Williams. One decent bit if defending on their counter at the end but was beaten to a few headers which I wouldn't have expected.

Holgate for me too... I thought he played out of his skin considering you would normally expect this to be the type of game a young lad like him would struggle with.

Should have had 2 assists today so long may that continue!

Are we playing 433 with Funes Mori on the left... If so I dont like it.... at all

Wiliams coming on apparently... Back to a back 3?

At the moment I'd say it was more to do with the change of shape than Lukaku himself.

I think Koeman has told him to stay wide for as long as he can as he is getting lots of space and its opening the West Brom defence up.

We were very lucky from that corner! I think Stek should have been collecting that.

Oh Ross how have you missed that... Had the game for the taking!

Great ball Bolasie!

Get in! Scrappy as you like but who gives a toss!

That was a beaut of a goal.... Great team play!

Great energy from Holgate!

Don't think that sub is as much about James McCarthy as it is that he was started out of position.

The formation worked well last week when we were playing on the counter but it isnt giving us enough penetration in attack now that we need to be the ones forcing the play.

I think we might go 4 at the back with Holgate or McCarthy off
