Same here. The fans are utterly pissed off with the style of football being played. It's pretty similar to what's happened here, just with a worse team. The stats are something like 1 shot on target in their last 3 home games. They set up against Newcastle with what was basically 7 across the back.
Under Pulis the finished 12th, 11th, 13th, 14th and 13th. Under Hughes they have finished 9th and 9th. That's a clear improvement to go along with the much better football.
when you put it like that!!Absolutely. If West Brom fans feel they are above what Pulis has them playing, it is almost certainly shit on a stick.
I dunno. I think they could be playing nicer football, but there isn't a great deal in it, looking at their squad. Gamboa could be brought in at rightback to add a bit more going forwards in that position, and then there's Pocognoli at leftback (who I like because he isn't Chris Brunt).
I know, players are overpaid as it is.
It's just the way he likes to operate. He has spent £35m on mostly limited players since he joined West Brom, and has been in the job for over a year so it isn't as though he couldn't rectify that.
They were also completely outplayed by a League One side last week.
Lolzeys.
Yet he's only score 2 goals less than Rondon despite playing half the minutes he has this season. 1 start in 4 months Akash, this is a fella that scored 14 goals for them last season.
It's not just the goals. He's generally been crap and missing sitters (Remember the sitter he missed at OT?). And this was after he threw his toys out and refused to ever play for West Brom. I can totally see why he's not playing. It's not like Rondon is a nobody either. He's got a decent record since moving to Europe so we're hardly talking some shite striker replacing Berahino.
He's missing sitters because he's not match sharp Akash given that the only football he gets is coming off the bench. Despite the Baggies bad form he's only start was against Everton in 4 months, that is bad management when you consider that he's been fit and they've had the Christmas period to contend with.
It's not bad management and has nothing to do with Pulis anyway. WBA were willing to sell for a price known to Spurs for a long time which is why they brought Rondon in. It's not their fault that Spurs didn't really rate him enough to make a decent offer and were offering absolute pittance up front. Then Berahino publicly throws a gigantic strop that makes him look like a complete dick and this was well before he was dropped. In fact, he was starting games even after the failed transfer until he was dropped for poor attitude again. You add this in with that fact that he's not even been very good when he comes on, then it's hard to make a case for him.
And to top it off he's not even fit apparently.
