West Brom v Aston Villa 23rd January 15:00

These wankers, in all their inbred yam-yammery, have been getting right on my tits. Losing at every opportunity to our relegation rivals, seemingly doing every thing in their power to get us relegated. So, it's time to put a nail in their relegation coffin.

This is where it all comes together and we hand out a thrashing. Fire in the bellies, slick passing, ruthless finishing. Baggies put to the sword, three points Villa, start of a losing streak for Albion that continues until the end of the season and their being flushed into the Championship.

 

I've also made the poll multiple choice for obvious reasons!

They will be destroyed with overkill fancy footwork and extra death pain bomb blasts, supergood team play and passing with awesome movement and excellent and extra awesomeness and happy dancing Brazil like jaw dropping greatness.......... 1 - 0 to us.

I can see us winning. 2-1

Has the game started already...?

Nice poll ember. Villa 3-1 for me mate. Lets get the party started. C'mon you Villa boys.
Going to be a bit tasty down there today, so rumours go.
3 points for us. UTV.

We were bloody good when this tune came out. One for Mr Eccles.

2 for Mr Eccles

Need to go for the win in every remaining game this season... 2-1 to the Villa...

Richards for Veretout - Meaning Richards at Right Back and Bacuna in the midfield now. Interesting...

3-5-2?!

I think the exact same formation as before... 4-3-3, though a 3-5-2 would be interesting...

Bunn
Richards - Okore - Lescott - Cissokho
Bacuna - Westwood - Gana
Gil - Kozak - Ayew

A chink of light, Norwich losing 4-5 to Liverpool after being 3-1 up........that'll hurt them. We really have to get 3pts today to maximise the damage.

WBA play with Rondon as the only real one up top, so 3-5-2 would be OK against that..........Sessegnon being the other forward player. McLean is the only real wide player in the starting line-up.

...........................................Bunn..........................................
...............Richards................Okore...................Lescott.............
Bacuna..........Gana..............Westwood...........Gil...........Cissokho
............................Kozak......................Ayew............................

West Brom have always been a team full of thuggish cloggers to me and I'm glad to see my impression of their squad hasn't changed so far...

0-0 - but not great from us so far....

PENALTY, FFS!!!! How many times do we get robbed by these shit refs???

Guarantee, the other way round it gets given...ugh

I'm listening at work, even the bbc commentator said penalty!

Awful awful awful backpass from Richards... Extremely lazy from him today, same with Bacuna...

You'll struggle to find a more clear cut penalty this season. Terrible decision. Tackle from behind that doesn't get any of the ball, right in front of the ref, too...

0-0 HT - I reckon we are ahead on points. - Just left wondering what we actually practice in training - set pieces - dire- poor passes - and unforced errors....

Halftime...

Kozak needs support up top. Many players are linking up well in the midfield, especially Ayew, Gil, and Cissokho, but when we get the ball into a good area for a cross, Kozak is the only player in the box, so we pass the ball backward. Bacuna has been dreadful. He has been lazy and off pace all game and every one of his crosses/set pieces have been atrocious. Richards has also been awful at right back. Reckless in the challenge and lazy in possession. He almost gifted West Brom a goal with a terrible backpass to Okore, who lost possession of it.

Take off Bacuna for Gestede, and we might be able to nick this one.

Bacuna wouldn't be coming out second half if I was Garde. He has not cleared the first man at any point, he's provided zero service.
I'd also be seriously tempted to hook Okore, he is having head staggers and is being a bit of a liability. At the very least he needs talking to to get his mind right for the second half.

Been the better team just awful final ball all half. Should've been a pen but this ref is shite all over. Was a foul on Okore by Rondon too

I agree that he hasn't been at his best, but Richards has put him in a number of bad positions that he's had to deal with.

I can see the Gestede \ Kozak frontline being implemented at some point......worked well v leicester..
