WCA is right. It's not an over-reaction at all. It's almost like a final straw. It's been simmering for a couple of seasons. This time last year we were very poor and allowing much poorer teams to have all the ball and outplay us, and fans started to kick up a fuss. So, as if by magic he brought 'players' into the team (Morrison and Brunt), gave Chadli more freedom, and we attacked other teams and got ourselves up to 8th place. Once we reached that Target of 40 pts, he reverted to his old system, and we finished the season in down-and-out relegation form. Fans have trusted his judgement (probably because clappers keep reminding us he's never been relegated, and who else would little Albion get?)

As for working aard, they all seem to shuffle backwards quite well, but working aard should include sprinting into the final 3rd of the pitch to support the occasional attack. I've never seen Livermore break sweat yet, but I bet he'd sprint occasionally if we showed more intent, instead of looking over his shoulder to see if Pulis was whistling at him to get back.
