Lost to the better team

The better team .

If we had a striker that could finish, we would of won.

^Which is precisely why we were not the better team

Disagree on what your definition of 'the better team' is then.

Yes indeed, the better team won. But more importantly Chelsea has now be struck by the Clattenburg Curse. They will pay for their evil by finishing in fourth place, at best!

Looks that way. I subscribe to the Jose criteria for who is the better team rather than the Wenger theory, and it has a much better track record than those who boast about their teams having loads of possession in a game.

Better team definately won, made worse by having to sit among the boing, boinging baggies - but please lets not start getting ridiculous and blaming it all on Torres!

I'd say the work was started by Tony Mowbray, who completely changed the squad and the style of play from Bryan Robson's. TM brought in Kevin Phillips in 2006 and got us to the 2007 play-off final in his first full season as manager, sold want-away and unwanted players and got £26 million for them and then, with Dan Ashworth, appointed Director of Football in December 2007, brought in Chris Brunt and Jimmy Morrison (both 2007) Graham Dorrans and Jonas Olsson (both 2008) and Youssouf Mulumbu (loan, January 2009). He never got the defence sorted out but he re-established Albion's reputation for playing good, attractive football. RDM brought in Peter Odemwingie after promotion back to the PL was won, and I think it was Woy who finally sorted the defence out, not least by making players aware of their defensive roles and responsibilities. Woy brought in Gareth McAuley, Ben Foster and Billy Jones, and Shane Long! And then Steve Clarke brings in Claudio Yacob! All through this is the hand of Dan Ashworth, but I hope we can acknowledge the part Tony Mowbray played in the current Albion generation.
