Re: Blues, Baggies, Hull
This was it for me. Very rarely in our league, or any other for that matter does a team play with 10 men for so long (more than 70 minutes in this case), and not lose.
If it does happen there is usually some heroic defending and/or an amazing goalkeeping performance behind it.
(Every time WE have had a man sent off, other than Klarer in injury time, which in any case only made it 10 v 10, we’ve lost, pretty comfortably)
I can’t remember their keeper making a save, there were no goal line clearances, not even any glaring missed chances, because we created no real chances.
In fact, not only did we not looking like winning the game, on measures like xG, keeper saves etc we could have lost it.
Totally toothless, no invention, no threat. no ENTERTAINMENT- again. Not only is it unsuccessful, it’s bloody boring to boot.
And it’s the 2nd time this season we’ve played well over half a game at home against 10 men, and not only failed to win, but pretty much failed to lay a glove on them.
I think that says everything about how effective our “style” is
