WBA vs Sunderland - Match Thread

Brilliant save by Myhill but this is very panicky last ditch defending.

Main highlight so far has been the abuse for James McClean, which to his credit it's not affected his game.

And when I say that I mean he's still the headless chicken kick and rush merchant that he's always been.

Rubbish!

Shocking first half.

When will Tony realise that 4-4-2 does not work for us? He is doing what Hodgson used to do which is find a formation (4-1-4-1) that works ok for us and is better than the 4-4-2 but ditches it at the first chance he gets after a defeat and reverts back to the 4-4-2.

We have still yet to play 4-2-3-1 this season and I would like to see us use it sometime soon. I hope to see McManaman brought on for McLean at half time with him on the right, Berahino left and Sessegnon behind Rondon. Tony could even drop Berahino into a deeper position so he plays behind Rondon rather than alongside him.

The only change I can see Tony making at half time is switching McLean and Sessegnon around so they play as inverted wingers.

Currently feeling quite ill and what I've seen about our performance is failing to cheer me up. Still level at least we could get something in theory

Sess looking lively but that's about the only positive. Bez has barely had a touch.
Dunno if my stream's coverage is representative, but there seems to be no atmosphere at Hawthorns at all. It sounds like a pre-season friendly.

Makes me wonder how sess hasn't featured all season with the dross we've been watching. Looks our best player by a mile. Berahino non existent. No chances at all

This is NOT entertainment, there is absolutely no justification in charging anybody any of their hard earned cash to watch this rubbish.
Even that goal does nothing to improve the dross we are watching.

Starting to get the feeling that Rondon is another Brown Ideye in the making, can't say I disagree with bringing Lambert on in place of him either...

I actually feel a fair bit better since our goal.
