Yep that’s the way you love got to look at tonight after the great run we’ve had. Their team sheet is frightening. Let’s just hope it doesn’t dent confidence moving forwards.

The real difference is clinical finishing. City had 4 shots on target in the first 10 minutes. Fine margins. Spot on. Do think we’ve been naive though. Going toe to toe with a side like this is a huge gamble and it looks like costing us. If we’d just tightened up after the first it might have been a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Certainly not as bad as the scoreline looks but we've been punished for being poor in key moments at both ends of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Lee needs to sort out the immediate drain in confidence and composure when we concede (Especially if we are going to give away stupid penalties at places like Hawthorns) Almighty panic and an immediate defendive brittleness appears We fell apart against Blackburn for 20 mins or So But got away with it The only other time we’ve been tested by falling behind we lost comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Tonight has proved how lacking in organisation our centre midfield is at times, first goal sloppy pass by Kelly both centre midfielders are ahead of the ball, 2nd and 3rd goals we were wide open down the middle. Kelly has been sloppy, Hunt has no idea where his man is when West Brom attack, Watkins struggling to get into the game, I feel sorry for ODowda, Taylor and Wiemann. But a clear message you have to take your chances and Wiemanns was a sitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears in rain Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 City naive when defending. All well and good being in the WBA half with the ball but the midfield got very disjointed when to many players joined the attack. Overall that’s what allowed the space to be created from counter attacks. They used the width and breezed past our full backs without much of a challenge and did a similar thing but ran straight through the midfield. Someone had to take responsibility and make a foul in their half or at least around the Centre line. Just haul the bloke down and get on with it. Got three subs if you get booked.

Northern Red Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 It seems odd to say at 3-0 down, but either side of the defensive meltdown we really haven't played badly at all. The defending this season has generally been improved, but when it's bad, it's bloody awful. And a side like West Brom will punish that in a way that a Blackburn won't.

eardun Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I predict 3-3! Fam to terrorise them. And Pato to get his season back on track. And if not, we’ll just win on Friday so not the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Back down to earth with a bit of a bump. Frustrating to watch - had we taken one of our several early chances, it would have been a different story. WBA have the likes of Dwight Gayle, Jay Rodriguez and Barnes who have the premier league quality to each capitalise on 3 big mistakes to score 3 clinical goals. Simple as that for me. We don't look outplayed at all, just caught out by Barnes' pace and Gayle's movement, skill and Kelly/Hunt both not tracking back quick enough. If the WBA tactic was to sit back and catch us on the break, fair play to them, Darren Moore has got one over LJ here. Still positives for City in the way we've played for large parts but a big wake up call for a few who have switched off at the back, you can't do that at this level. An early second half goal for us could make this interesting, but more likely is another for them on the break at this stage as we push for a comeback.

SedRA Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 4 minutes ago, intercity said: Half time and a serious footballing lesson from West Brom. We have been absolutely punished and West Brom have shown lightning speed on the break as well as solid defending after that initial 10mins of shock we put them in. Feels like we haven’t paid WBA the respect we gave Sheff Utd, thinking we could just play them off the park. A bit odd really considering they’re the recently relegated PL team and we’re away.

cidercity1987 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Matching them all across the pitch but very clinical finishing from mega millions players the difference.
