i think i said it on the thread, he could be the worst first choice striker in the whole PL, let alone the top 10. whats worse is his attitude. he sucks so bad, but when he messes up he's never working his butt off to get the ball back or anything
I agree one hopeful, he doesn't really offer any sort of threat does he. He sits far to deep and when he does get the ball to him it usually bounces off his shin. He's got to be the most frustrating player to watch.

The service to Ade is very poor, how many times does a cross into the box sail over everybody`s head or hit the first defender, also balls played into his feet are often snuffed out by defenders. This could explain why he often goes out wide in search of the ball.
I think Ade needs more support and players getting around him, that said he was poor today and we never looked like scoring past a resolute Albion defence.
Our defenders all seem to panic when, pressurised by opposing attackers, even Lloris looks nervous (probably because he has no faith in what is in front of him), they look like an accident waiting to happen.
I can only see a bad defeat against the Goonz sadly.
angel, I said exactly that last week. I said why are we going the same route as last season by playing the same old s hit in defence. Fazio has now gone 3 premiership games without a start, astonishing.
Rose played well today and was probably our best player . Chirches is shat.

I make better runs in my pants than Ade.
The defence that was put out today should not be having a problem with West Brom. So I don't think you can blame Poch for that.

He made a couple of runs up the wing that lead to nothing. The guys a shocking footballer and a left back.

I agree but regardless that defence is a disaster waiting to happen. If poch is going to play that same defence v arsenal then I won't bother watching as I don't want to see us getting embarrassed which no doubt we will. Fazio and Vertobghen should be our main centre backs and Davies should be given more premier league time as our main left back. Dier to stay at right back until walker is back.
Our creative players are a joke!!!
What's the point of Lamela playing right side if when he cuts in he doesn't have a shot?
4 times he cut in and just kept going left until he lost it... Pathetic
Eriksen just hasn't turned up this season!
Adebayor needs benching but we don't have anyone who is better

But they did though, the conceded from a set-piece, with non-existent challenges and marking, and looked absolutely petrified everytime WBA ran at them. They are shiiiite defenders, and should be nowhere near the first XI. Fazio and Verts should have carried on where they left off on Thursday, a solid partnership that kept a clean sheet, in a very hostile atmosphere. Not exactly rocket science.

Fortunately, I will be away in the Scottish highlands on Saturday, deliberately planned holiday, so that when Spurs get an absolute pounding, which we all know is going to happen, I will be as far away as possible. Somehow won`t seem quite so bad.

Exactly my point though. Poch picked a defence that was more than good enough to do the job. And they didn't. I don't see why people are having a go at the manager when it is clearly the players who didn't perform.
Dembele poor. Lamela was overcomplicated things rather than doing what he has done for the last couple of weeks. Eriksen was meh. And Ade wasn't holding it up.
If enough players have off days you are going to lose games. Blaming Poch for today is ridiculous.
Angel, good planning mate. I think I might go out with the misses Saturday night before the footy rather than after. Don't think I can take another Arsenal inevitable win.

Our next three games are against Arsenal, Southampton and City, so I expect us to slide a little further down the table in the coming weeks
Don
Have I not been saying exactly this about Adebayor for the last 3 years?
Have I not been saying the same about Chiriches since about the 3rd game he played for us?
This reminds me of our Gomes dispute, why does it always take you so long to agree with me
Still I suppose you do get there in the end
BTW Dembele is crap as well. Takes to long on the ball, never hurts opponents etc.
Grand, he's just not good enough Adebayor is he? Offers no real threat upfront and his 1st touch is among the worse I have seen in a professional footballer.
don
His first touch is appalling and I am serious when I say mine is better than his and I have not kicked a ball in anger for years.
His runs are also poor IMO there is nothing good about him as a striker whatsoever.
I am also disappointed that a bottom of the league side can come ot us and play 2 up front where we go for two defensive midfield players A HOME against the bottom of the league team.
I wont say to much against MP because I think he is a decent manager and I do think he needs time but he needs to be a bit more adventurous IMO
