WEST BROM 1-0 EVERTON
Oh yes, It's good to Boing!!!!! The spirit of confidence lacking in recent times has left and we are currently playing the best football seen by West Brom fans in (according to my old man) the last 20 years, may i at this point out we were relegated in 1982 so 20 years ago would put us in the then second division struggling aimlessly.
Ok i'm calming down now let's have a realistic match review. Possibly as convincing as a goalless draw with hardly any goal action can be. The Baggies went out there confident and ready to fight, unlike the Everton side they played who just wanted a fight. It was hard to tell who was fighting for safety and who was fighting for a Champions League spot, on this showing Liverpool don't have much to worry about!
The first half was a none starter apart from hitting the bar with a Neil Clement header the Albion didn't offer much. On the plus side a resolute and confident defence started and finshed the half on top as Everton had about two easily saveable chances on goal.
Ther second half was a different story. The Baggies came out with the same attacking options as the first half but twice the impetus (i think that's how you spell it).Not many teams in the world would leave there hat-trick hero on the bench for the entire game, but somehow we didn't seem to need him. A decent cross seemed to be going out of play until one of the shortest men on the pitch rose above huge Everton defender Joseph Yobo to head home to his bottom right of the goal for the only goal of the game.
Late on Everton played their 'oh bugger what are going to do?' card and brought on big dirty Duncan Ferguson. A problem for some but when you can just bring on West Brom version of the BFG to counteract that, Darren Moore, it really doesn't seem like much of a problem.
All in all a great win confident, assured defence, no nonsense tackling and, more than anyone else struggling at the bottom anyway, good attacking football.
Chant of the day:
Show me the way to Aston Villa
We'll see the goals of Zoltan Gera
And we'll be shitting on the Villa
When Zoltan Gera scored for me
Sha lalalalala
West Brom
Sha lalalalala
West Brom
When Zoltan Gera scores for me!
SUMMARY
We are a premiership team, but playing on borrowed time. I beleive we have as much chance as anyone to stay up but everyone down with us has to play each other so will all pick up points we still have Arsenal, Man Utd, Tottenham and other tasty teams still to play. We have conceded too many late late goals at Norwich, Southampton, Portsmouth, Fulham and at home to Palace which could have done us early, But the key is in the last game at home against Portsmouth. So three points at the Villa to start please (GOD). We where bottom at Christmas but in words of Frank Skinner on Fantasy Football before the last game of the season against Portsmouth in the 93-94 season when we beat them to stay in the First and send the dirty bluenoses down...
