My thoughts for what there worth ..... played okay generally, some good out balls, some good passing interchanges, some good overlapping, Sess scared them to death, some good running out from the back. Some poor passing, poor vision, a large number of crosses that were more passes to Gomes, trying to play Barcelona tippy tippy intricate football around their box without the ability to pull it off, low confidence making people to scared to shoot, not enough pace so to pedestrian when counter attacks possible. Some poor naive defending from corners. A lot of players did not seem to interested, on the beach going thorough the motions, Saido's pens prime example half hearted and although reasonably well placed, no power and no anticipation of a rebound hence the wayward leg swing after the first one.
Verdict .... a game we should have won comfortably especially with two penalties against at best average opposition that muster one real shot on target and one hopeful flick goalwards that hit the post and rolled in
People on this site have blamed TP all season for our style and performances, Watford came to ours and out Albion'd Albion. They gave us possession, let's us play with it and shut up shop ..... it works and TP is not the only person to employ this tactic.
Where to from here ..... six million dollar question .... Another squad overhaul and hopefully some pace, guile and entertainment for next year but probably more of the same, with the money involved must clubs see survival as the be all and end all.
Still sitting on the fence leaning towards keeping TP.
