I'll be very surprised if we don't see Gardner come in and play wide right with Morrison partnering Fletcher in the middle.
No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no shots on target.......

Agree. I would swap anything for Gardner, a lawn mower, cuddly toy, fondue set.....
Oh sorry, is that not what you meant?

will be missed against Spurs - might show a few doubters how much we need him in the side.

Of course he is not the greatest on the ball but then if he was he would not be playing for us!

I think Yacob is a limited footballer but in certain games can do an excellent job.

 When we played Palace, Leicester and West Ham this season (those spring to mind) he has struggled because they attack at pace and dont give him chance to break the play up.


Aside from West Ham, Yacob hasn't struggled in any game this season. He was decent against Leicester and was probably Albion's best player against Palace along with McClean.

McManaman gets plenty of stick on here over his occasional dives. There's no doubt for me that Yacob makes of meal of things when he's on the end of any sort of challenge. He made a big meal of the half slap from Cameron yesterday which certainly wasn't the first time he's done that.
Think he should be strongly encouraged to tone down the theatricals. Like diving, it's something that we would hope to keep to a minimum in this country ???

Yacob has been on the wrong end of other players theatricals, I don't like it, but the Stoke player was an idiot for doing it.

Cameron bitch slapped him round the back of the head.
As soon as the hands make deliberate contact with the head or face its red, they know the rules.
We've been on the end of a few of those so whilst not condoning Claudio's theatricals there's no complaints from me.

I have to admit that I don't like that kind of behaviour.  Don't want to see our players resort to that kind of thing but the problem in the Premier league is that everyone does it so unfortunately things aren't going to change until it's properly stamped out.

On the side on replay view it does look he might have caught him pretty sharply with the knuckles, but the peekaboo does make it all look a bit ropey.

There's now a rule about feigning a facial injury to get a player sent off. Given he was hit in the head I doubt he will get banned but he needs to be careful

Hitting someone is a straight red card offence and Claudio isn't obliged to help him out by making light of it but the theatrics went a bit far.

Made a meal of it which isn't nice to see

He is turning into Mr Consistent however with some very solid performances. He is great at just breaking up play and harrassing the opposition.

Villa away last season?
Yacob was sent off for winning the ball, why would he miss an opportunity to help his team?
I don't like cheating but in this day and age you win at all costs, Sky do not payout on morals.
If youre going to get told off, get told off for doing something not for doing nothing..

This.

You do what you can if you can get away with it. If you don't you and your team suffer.

Sad, but that's the way it is in the current climate.

We have tried beating em - it don't work. So the alternative is to join em. If it benefits the Baggies -do it. Then listen to all the moaning 'pundits' ( is that old latin for tossers?) criticise the Albion players for being victims of the fouls, whilst we slyly accept the 3 points.

I've seen several posts relating to McManaman saying 'get rid of the diver' or similar.

What's the big difference between Macca diving and Yacob making the most of whatever contact to get an opposing player booked or sent off ?  Both amount to cheating in my book.

Natural reaction to go down when you get "hit" it's not as if it's Rivaldo-esque. The other problem with the game is that it wouldn't have been a (correct) red card if he hadn't made something of it.

McManaman is a different story his theatrics are costing the team, twice this season he'd have got a penalty less than a second later if he hadn't tried to buy one.

Double standards I suppose, one player benefited the team the others actions were to our detriment.
