West Brom V Everton. Boxing day.

[Bluedylan]

Big Sam has got us out of trouble - thats what he was hired for. Dont expect him to transform us into a great football team equally fast.

No one's expecting to be dazzled. We haven't had a shot at goal for a game and a half! We're playing a team who haven't won since the summer!

[BlueMaquis]

What a boring uninspiring game of football this is, when you can even hear 'Big Sam' shouting "pass, pass" then you know your team's football is dire.

Let's get rid of this 3 CB bollocks, take off one of the defenders for maybe Niasse as he can do something a bit unpredictable which this game is crying out for plus take off Bolasie and put on Lennon/Lookman. Davies will come off at some point so Sandro could come on. With these changes, I expect a shot on target or two.

But that's exactly the problem, the players won't pass. It's not the formation. They seem afraid to pass the ball forward. There's a complete lack of confidence there. Bolasie is the lone exception.

Two terrible teams serving up a bucket load of crap. We are miles away from challenging the top teams. Can't even string passes together against a really bad West Brom side.

Since when are we supposed to be challenging the top teams?? We have moved away from an awful downward spiral into the bottom 3 into relative safety. We have too many 2nd rate players to be seriously challenging the top teams.  Give the new manager time to change the squad and bin a few players including several currently regularly chosen for the first team. WBA away or any away game is difficult game for a team in our transitional state. Don't try to run before you can walk. February hopefully will see a couple of new names, midfield and strikers.

I'm going to give Sam the benefit of the doubt up to now by acknowledging that he hasn't had a great deal of time to work with these players so he can't be expected to produce a total football turnaround and to be fair he's delivered on results.

However when the amount of time since you had a shot on target is measured in hours rather than minutes then I think it's fair to expect a little more.

[Everton Mint]

We are still a poor side, low on confidence with some good players still injured and no top striker... but at least we're an organised one.

[KoemansNumberTens]

Don't expect people to accept more than 18 months of this shite either then

Can he at least have a transfer window?? Youre absolutely itching for a poor result so you can slaughter him.

No, nothing nasty or personal. Just criticising the football we're playing.

Exactly

And half the people on this forum rate Lennon 
Bolasie 
Schneiderlin 
Davies 
Besic 
Niasse 

And they say give Sandro and Klassen time 

The squad is full of crap , people need to call a spade a spade and take of the blue tinted specs and stop over rating players because they play for Everton

This is some pretty dire shit he is serving up here. Happy he has helped steady the ship, but this is way too negative for West Brom.

[Confucius]

I would suggest they won the league because they had very good football players.

They only started playing well with 5 at the back. The beginning of the season they weren't winning.

Not to say we should be playing it. Surely with 5 at the back we should have a rb and lb out wide to stop the cross coming in and then if it does have the CB to deal with it.

Our full backs are so narrow and the three cb have no idea where they should be.

Davies has been bad. Not good enough. Schneider Lin has been pretty good and Keane has played so great balls from he back. Bolasie looks lovely.

Sorry is there not a transfer window in the next 18 months?

And don't judge me by your standards. I'll slaughter him even when we beat Chelsea 0-0
