If Gabbiadini is still injured i can't see us scoring so hope for another 0-0 like last season. Missing Van Dijk, Romeu and Gabbiadini makes it really tough for us, plus Steven Davis will probably be out. You never know with West Brom, we're definitely capable of beating them, will have to take our chances though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 7 April, 2017 Share Posted 7 April, 2017 We might be best to approach this game as we would a home game. If we take a cautious approach they will gradually wear us down and bully us with their physical play. We can't match them in that department, especially with Clasie instead of Romeu, so we should perhaps focus on targetting their weaknesses. They will find it tough dealing with the likes of Redmond and Long, so we should take the game to them a bit more and make them deal with our strengths rather than letting them dictate the match. Balls in behind and getting their big defenders turning may prove to be the key to a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dellboypete Posted 7 April, 2017 Share Posted 7 April, 2017 LOL piece about Long and Rondon on the guardian "10 things to watch out for this weekend"... 10) Penguin v Emu at The Hawthorns With all due respect to penguins, it is hard to take them seriously. Same with emus. It just does not seem quite right to call them birds. They are, then, the Shane Long and Salomón Rondón of the avian world, birds who cannot fly being akin to strikers who cannot be relied on to score. And yet, in so many ways Long and Rondón are two of the most admirable forwards in the Premier League: strong, smart, dynamic pests to play against and often thrilling to watch. This weekend’s mid-table match between West Brom and Southampton may seem meaningless but, if Long and Rondón happened to end their goal droughts, it would help anyone who wants to define them as strikers. PD And I wonder how many times Rondon wanders offside in an average game - I hope it's more than our wonderful Shane Long (who I still rate highly bu the way!)

Sims has put in some stunning performances when given the chance. He could be just the player to stretch Broms defence. He was on the bench vs Palace. Sims hasn't been injured, it is simply a case of him being down the pecking order. If fit the likes of Tadic, Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Long, Boufal, Rodriguez, Gabbiadini who are more senior are more likely to get a spot in the team or as an attacking option on the bench. It is unlikely Puel will drop a more senior player if fit to make way for Sims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 8 April, 2017 Share Posted 8 April, 2017 They like to play a possession based conservative game looking for pace on the break and set pieces. We struggle to score without Gabbi (Palace was a one off) so will play a possession based conservative game looking to cross the halfway line occasionally so Tadic can try a punt from 35 yards. All set for a thriller. 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 8 April, 2017 Share Posted 8 April, 2017 Funny, I read this a lot, but when he plays I usually see him make at least one or two lung-busting runs to try and win back possession, and that's just in the 10-15 minutes he's given at the end of the game. At the moment he's frustrating because he tries too much, not because he tries too little. Exactly. Basically, anyone who likes a dribble and is a bit foreign looking will always get called lazy.

Balls in behind and getting their big defenders turning may prove to be the key to a win. Agree. Best form of defence in this one is to dominate ball and force them into their sad little shell. If we let them have territory then eventually they will wear us down with crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet somehow we are favourites with the bookies. I must have watched a different game but Jay Rod looked sharp vs Bmouth. Completely agree, I thought he was playing well and unlucky to be taken off, whereas Long was awful after coming on and then couldn't hit a cow's backside in midweek. I can't see us having an abundance of chances here so we need to be more clinical, I would start with Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
