Absolute dross...again. Zero attacking intent.

Not sure how much longer i can put up with this. Just no enjoyment watching the games.

Absolutely awful. Its down purely to tactics. Its his team, playing his way.

Pathetic and disgusting. It won't change either. We may get the odd good half of football but this is it until he leaves.

Will he change the plan in the second halt?
To a plan which means that we are allowed to go forward and go up en bloc.
On at a time isn't working.

When fans of other teams say what is the point in West brom, days like today I really can't help but agreeing.

Southampton have been average this year and we appear to have no intention whatsoever of making them worry, just sitting deep and hoping they don't score.

Went to watch my local team macc Town today in the conference, I'm going to a start doing it more often.

Luckily it's 0-0. Hopefully dust ourselves down and go again second half. Southampton have been very good.

They havnt, were just dire and lucky Southampton can't score sitters.

Southampton have been very average in my opinion. We've given them the space and time to play and they've barely done anything. There for the taking, but we won't try and take it.

Iv seen Sunday league teams who can pass & hold the ball up better than we do.

If they weren't obligated to do so, we'd never be picked for TV

Seems like nobody on here understands that defending is a large part of the game.

Pub teams can pass a a ball better than we can.

This is a must win for us. 2017 has been god awful.

Rubbish tactics. Time wasting. Turgid garbage.

Too many players not involved In the game. Livermore and Rodriquez haven't done anything for few weeks. Brunt and Phillips would at least give us some forward options and the ability to keep the ball and penetrate

alex1 · « **Reply #136 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:25:25 PM »

It a question of whether our defence can hold out or Southampton get a bit of luck. Got 0-0 or 1-0 Sotn written all over it.

Nah he's holding Mcauley in reserve ready to go ultra defensive half way through the second half to hold on to 0 - 0

Sad thing about your response is I can actually really see TP thinking that!!

Was bored so thought id spin on the game, first time watching us since 2nd game in this season.

We really are as dull to watch as I remembered.

3 defensive midfielders again across the middle (must be the only team in the country that does this)

Completely outplayed again. Time wasting 20 minutes in. The days of living down south and being proud to tell people i'm a West Brom fan seem like a distant memory these days

and we can't even do that under the most defensive coach in football.

we're lucky Southampton don't know where the net is or we would be 4 nil down.

Dreadful! We really do stink the place out.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #141 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:26:49 PM »

Pretty poor fayre so far from both sides. Rodriguez and Livermore probably the worst two players. Quite cold also!

WBAinDEVON · « **Reply #142 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:27:47 PM »

After next saturdays drubbing let's hope this is his last away game. Shocking negative boring football

Brombo97 · « **Reply #143 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:28:00 PM »

We're getting worse not better. The players deserve a better manager. Pulis tactics dishonour the Premier League and dishonour the history of our club. He's got to go!

We are just so very boring now.

Legend · « **Reply #145 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:28:57 PM »

I'd bring Phillips on for Rodriguez who is poor yet again.

We have barely defended today, they have had a number of clear chances so not sure where you're going with this argument

SC_Baggie · « **Reply #147 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:29:21 PM »

Do you guys think it's intentional? Or are the players just incompetent to go forward

Wollastonbaggie · « **Reply #148 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:29:32 PM »

The way we play is an insult-to the fans, to the players, to the history of the club and to football in general.

gerry m · « **Reply #149 on:** October 21, 2017, 06:29:41 PM »

Sure i heard on BT Sport we have only had better possession in 10 games out of 102 under TP.
