West Brom v Burnley Match Thread

Refs had a poor 5mins. Misses a late one on Roberts, through the back of JRod and gives a FK when Brownhill has played the ball.

Double change coming.

How are we doing? I'm listening on Talksport and the commentators, one of which is Iwelumo are talking about pretty much anything except what's happening on the pitch.

Frustrating. If West Brom could finish we'd be 3-1 down, they are attacking very well, shakey end of the first half for Burnley. Looking a bit more solid now. Defensive having a shocker / very lucky

Surprised we've not made any changes.

60 mins seems to be VK’s change slot

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:22 pm

Guddy coming on and Churlinov.

Largely outplayed and pegged back despite the lead. Muric superb, our only success is coming from long balls for Tella to run onto, both fullbacks have been poor, Cork unusually sloppy, Brownhill forced back by the play, Vitinho reserved out wide. Both CBs doing well especially Taylor. Look like we need changes to really get hold of the game.

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:23 pm

Tella off

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:24 pm

Maatsen too

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:24 pm

JBG and Churlinov coming on for Tella and Maatsen.
Muric makes another easy save when he shouldn’t have had a prayer.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:24 pm

Cullen wakes a Baggies fan up in the back row with his shot.
WBA go up and spurn another chance.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:24 pm

I could be very harsh but JM does seem to keep cutting back in rather than opening his legs out down the flank. He's done it all season. With his collection of sloppy passes in the last 10 mins, I think I'd swap him for Vitinho and put any of our options on the right.

Possibly harsh as he is clearly a very talented lad.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:24 pm

Bloody Maatsen again

Get him off

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:24 pm

Tella, Maatsen off.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:25 pm

That's not the subs I expected. Maatsen was starting to get into the game. Tella's speed was causing them problems.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:25 pm

We need to somehow get a second goal

I can see WBA nicking one

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:25 pm

Right call by Kompany. Tella run himself into the ground and Maatsen poor. Come on you Clarets.

Yes Maatsen has been poor tonight.

JBG and Churlinov hopefully give us some freshness.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:26 pm

Vitinho gone LB, JBG on RW and Churlinov LW?

Thank fuk Maatsen gone he as been dreadful

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:27 pm

Brave decisions from VK. I think I agree with them both. Needed to change something. Tella run his legs off. IM seemed a bit of a weak link but we'll soon see!

Yea, Talksport commentary can be like that,

As for Burnley we are lulling WBA into thinking they are bossing us, where in fact we are in full control. Another goal will follow soon.

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:28 pm

Can't believe I'm saying this but I'd consider swapping Cork for Bastien or Benson, moving Brownhill/Bastien into CDM and Churlinov or Bastien in the hole.

Corks so important to our play but he's been off today, don't know if the fixture congestion is hitting him or what.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:28 pm

2 on 1 and Churlinov gets greedy. Shoots wide

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:29 pm

ANOTHER good break wasted. Churlinov has to pass there.

Great ball by Cullen. Churl should have crossed it.

Should’ve squared it.

A player switching from RW to LB during a game must be fairly rare.

Yep that should have gone early to JBG

They've been a bit better this half. Sounds like we have too.

I was just thinking the same. Maybe the 3 games in succession has taken it out of him but he's starting to just look a bit leggy. Maybe we need his height though when they start lumping it long if we're still leading, later.

Yes very sloppy, and when he's sloppy Burnley are sloppy.

Loved his darting run deep in their half though. He'll come good in this match.

Scratch that, get him f***ing off, he's been worse than shite.
