So if a player has an open goal and blasts it wide, it doesn’t count? He can still be considered clinical?

Yes, thats the definition of clinical. It's often why players will sometimes shoot wide from difficult angles.

Did that happen today? My point is how clinical Liverpool are with their shots on target. United on the other hand have a habit of making goalkeepers man of the match in games.

 

[RashyForPM]

Stats aren't your strong point either. Most shots off target can't be goals unless OGs. Will be no surprise if Liverpools 2nd goal this evening comes from their 2nd shot on target.

What are you trying to say? What if they ended the game with a 100 shots, 2 shots on target and 2 goals? Would you be calling that clinical?

 

[SER19]

People can mock allardyce all they want but he doesn’t owe it to anybody to try play any differently versus liverpool. They won 7-0 last week, it’s still 1 nil and allardyce will be gladly happy if it’s like that with 20 to go

Exactly. It’s utter, utter waffle.

 

[Statue of Limitations]

Great start by West Brom to second half, there is hope.

 

[Random Task]

A West Brom equalizer is out of the question before anyone suggests it.

No, nope, not today.

It’s safe to say you’ve lost this one.

 

[RashyForPM]

He’s just playing for the last fiver or ten minutes. Will be a perfect plan if they can get to that and then put some long ball pressure on right at the end.
there’s not much else they can do really is there, can’t go toe to toe and even if they tried just giving them a game they will get exposed.

I think this is the best way for West Brom at the moment, bottom of the table, second game for new manager and against the best team in the country, not sure what people expect

Gotta hope his plan plays out well and this ends 1-1, but what we are asking him to do is play like how the worst PL team I’ve ever seen, Sheff Utd did when they came to Anfield and lost 2-1. Keep the defensive mentality, but you know, get two upfront to at least try get you a goal as well.

Better this half though. Hope they get something but there’s about a 1% chance of that happening.

 

[giorno]

Yeah, games like this, it's perfectly sensible for a side as bad as WBA to just park the bus and muck it up. The goal should be to keep it close for the final 15 minutes, then have a go

 

[RobinLFC]

Matip injured. Par for the course.

I’ve really got my fingers crossed for that 1%

 

[Samid]

Matip is hurt

 

[Statue of Limitations]

Looked like a knock to the balls

 

[Klopper76]

Matip injured. Par for the course.

Happens every season. He’ll be out for at least 6 weeks knowing him.

This has been fecking rubbish. West Brom will equalise at this rate.

 

[Judas]

Bit weird to see people slagging Allardyce's tactics thus far, they're doing alright.

Obviously no chance West Brom could actually do a goal though. Never in a million years.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Terrible from Liverpool, just 1-0 against these lot? Terrible.

 

[Offside]

Liverpool could properly be rattled if somebody actually beats them at Anfield. Proper fear factor there at the moment.

 

[Judas]

Klopp actually getting booked, my word what have we witnessed?!

 

[Port Vale Devil]

Klopp raging and booked

 

[Samid]

Ref not having any of Klopp's passhun

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Klopp is an absolute clown.

 

[Superunknown]

West Brom's season won't come down to this game, but rather how they perform against the teams all around them. They've got Leeds, Arsenal, Wolves and West Ham coming up in the league, so Allardyce is just being smart and is stopping the team from getting pumped 4 or 5 nil in preparation for those games. They could play expansive, attacking football here, but getting beat by that type of scoreline would affect them mentally in those future games. They're more likely to get a result from Leeds and Arsenal than they will against Liverpool.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

How that was a card for O'Shea I have no idea. The game is gone lads.

 

[Random Task]

Jurgen Klopp just threw a hissy fit on the touchline.

That was fun.

 

[U99ted]

Terrible from Liverpool, just 1-0 against these lot? Terrible.

We’re as good as Liverpool

 

[RashyForPM]

Don’t we all

Come off it mate no they won’t. Not even a jinx thing or whatever that is, WBA have 0 quality. This is a minimum 2-0 win for you lot. Just annoyed Salah wasn’t the scorer for FPL points

I was thinking 3-0 myself.

West Brom are all huff and puff with no end product unfortunately.

Thanks I will do.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Cannot wait for the Liverpool dive and penalty with Carragher barely able to contain his erection live on commentary.

 

[FootballHQ]

When is the Man. United game actually happening? Played 15 games now and no sign of it anytime soon?

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Diangana.....come on man.

 

[Bebestation]

Is Alisson the worlds best? Or is it someone else?

Pure control as a goalkeeper

 

[Anustart89]

How's that not a yellow for Robertson? Just blasts through the player from his blind side with no regard for his safety. Much more dangerous than whatever West Brom have been booked for.

Exactly. And now they're in a (unlikely) position where they could sneak a dirty point

Case in point that Diangana volley which has just about reached the corner flag now.

I still find it really funny and awkward that Arsenal is now mentioned in such discussions.

It's gotta be Oblak or Ter Stegen, surely.

 

[ha_rooney]

Argh great chance
