One of the most frustrating watches so far this season - and that's saying something...good play by the GK though.
Oddly enough I gave him MOTM, then he pulls out another stocker. Made me chuckle though. Ederson saves in the cirst few minutes and it’s a routine save. The WBA keeper saved some from poor finishing and he has had a stocker ?.
Good hard earned point for WBA.
Makes me chuckle saying Pep is playing the wrong formation. City had 25 chances. At the moment City couldn’t finish a bag of chips.
That “ typical” City phrase is creeping back in. At this rate we’re gonna be everyone’s favourite second team again ?

Build us our new stadium for free and you can have DCL ?.
 
Bilic is first to go. Do we have any Baggies fans on here? Right decision?

I'm not quite sure what WBA owners were expecting. I think i heard at the weekend that the only buys they made this season were the loanees from last season signing permanently. It's a tough ask to expect them to stay up with Championship players.

Not a baggie but suffered him at West ham

Had one good season which was due to the combination of the fans loving seeing the back of big Sam , last season at Upton park and a world class player making the rest look amazing

People forget he was 3rd choice for us after the first 2 said no.

He is a lovely bloke but a poor manager. Can't organise a defence

Don’t bite Tash, don’t bite ??
 
Weird to sack him after a really good result against City though. They must have been working on the deal for Sam for a few weeks and finally reached an agreement. As mentioned though, even Sam will struggle with these players. You can't say many of them are Premier League quality, apart from maybe Pereira, Phillips who I rated when he was QPR, and a couple who are well past their best like Gibbs and Ivanovic.
 
Surprised "Big Sam" is going to WBA, I thought he'd be hanging on for a crack at the big job he deserves..... Yernited ?

He's been fantastic every club he's been at and had them all punching above their weight.....

I agree. I was annoyed when the poxy media ruined his England gig. I thought he might have been ideal for us at the time, given how he can coax good performances out of bang average overrated players. It's a shame he never got the chance.

Best manager ever for England.. 100% record

I thought same as you ideal for England because he does well on shoe string budgets so good players for free? His MO

Think he wants a challenge

Kept us up on a shoe string budget

Even got us playing good football in his last season .. with a striker in January could have pushed further but wasn't backed

Season after he left then we invested in

Payet
Lanzini
Ogbonna
Moses
Antonio

Yeah so bilic did "wonders" look at the players he got bought in for him!!!!!!!!!!!!

Payet (one of best in league that season)
Lanzini still with us now
Ogbonna our best cb
Moses did well for us
Antonio well .. he hasn't been bad eh?

If Sam had them I bet he would have done well

Imagine what he'd be able to do with that Yernited squad ??
