despite being at work I got to see the whole match coz my spud mate has a bt steam subscript and put the game on for me. TBH I wasn't sure if he did that to torment me as I didn't see us having a cats chance in hell and he was smarting over the 1-1 draw with Newport? Well how wrong as I? AP had said he was going to go at liverpool as we were massively underdog anyway and this was the philosophy he has been trying to instil in the players after the more defensive minded TP era.
WE apparently had a flu ridden squad and so some changes were made that we might all have thought weren't going in our favour RK upfront no Ron. Nyom on the right no hegazi in CD. Liverpool looked like they were fielding their strongest side compared to us.
The game itself. It has to be said we were immense. Hunger desire organisation tactics were all very evident. so many MOMs J rod foster hegazi kryco barry brunt gibbs yacob
However as we started to look comfortable Evans and foster had an embarrassing misunderstanding and it cost us

but that seemed to be the turning point as every player in a wba shirt were galvanised tackling pushing forward winning first and second balls snapping at heels and there was some very neat triangular passing under pressure some back heels and really clever football being played.
J rod was world class his goal was a peach and perfect timing so soon after theirs as I feared the worst when they scored first.
the second goal was also brilliant as we nicked the ball off them through sheer determination pressing and closing down individuals.
then as we got the corner which led to the ill fated third goal I said to my spud mate we are good at corners we can hurt them here and sure enough Daws rose to the occasion and then so did the VARS FARCE. The game was dominated by stop start video decisions from then on and all of them favoured Liverpool and lets have a look see why that might be scooby?
ANDRE MARINER IS A VILLA FAN! YES its true look it up on the net folks. He is supposed to be barred from officiating any games between the midlands sides and aston villa do the research I have and I reported this fact to wba a while back following the game thats already been mentioned on this thread where we were mugged by this guy as a referee
final thought for now is this was an immense performance and if we applied this kind of energy and commitment till the end of the season then I do believe we will survive as I can see worse teams who looked like they were escaping everton west ham watford burnley and teams now sliding like brighton huddersfield and southampton
oh and yes as others had noticed how many pundits were liverpool biased for this affair. I have to say that MOTD at least Danny Murphy had the balls to interrupt and say lets take nothingnaway from west brom Hallelujah! praise de lord west brom did actually turn up that night and the lord almighty witnessed the shirts of blue and white and striped they were as they stole the crown off the red heads of mersey
