good to see that Mangala's passing is still just as shit as it was last season.
Oh ffs! He had a couple of loose ones but no more than any of our other defenders.
Edit: Just checked, 89.1% pass accuracy, same as Vinnie.
Are you surprised by his post mate?
Not at all. It just annoys me that he'd single out Mangala for criticism after he put in such a solid performance, there again if the commentators specifically highlight his errors in particular I guess people will pick up on it.

so im not allowed to criticize players but everyone else is?
yes, Mangala did okay. nothing great. he still looks unbelievably shaky and is lucky to get away with some many fouls.
but i made a conscious effort to watch his distribution and it was woeful. i don't care if its 89.1%. when you're knocking the ball around between the center halves its easier to get that number up. there were so many times he tried a pass forward to start play and it went straight to West Brom. that can't happen as frequently as it does especially with how high up the fullbacks play; it could set up a quick counter for the opposition.

You've read my preview (hopefully) please visit my new website on my thoughts on last night's game as well as Sunday's City Women's game.

Don't worry I've saved my best for Sunday's Chelsea, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I never said anything of the sort. My gripe is with you singling Mangala out. Criticise his distribution, fine, but at least be fair and criticise others that were equally as guilty.

I just don't agree with the opinion ... incredibly shakey? Never did he look like gifting them anything. He had a few miscontrolled balls ... but he looked a different player to last season. There was one time he tried a pass on the ground and it went to west brom ... there were other times where I thought his distribution was good. He had several passes that sliced through 2 or 3 west brom players when he didn't have an option to pass to in midfield, and another very incisive pass that was lost due to the forward player mis-controlling. I have no qualms about him starting vs. Chelsea, he bossed Lambert and I think he'll boss whatever whining diver the chavs send out too.

I see the WBA fans were trying to rattle him, but he was confident and played some nice stuff too.
Biggest PLUS for me was Sagna, he had a very effective game.
Biggest MINUS was Mike Dean allowing Silva to get GBH all game and not daring to send Yacob off.

Indeed. Mike Dean was very poor yesterday. The fact that we played so well gave him no chance to stop us. What about the lunge at Sterling that didn't even get a card? Deliberate attack , could see a Red for that.
Some weak fouls given by Dean and he simply let Brom players foul as they like.

I thought he was very complimentary. More than I'm used to hearing from him.

Can't fully agree with that, he missed a pen and let silva get hacked too often, but fk and card count went our way despite infuriating home fans and letting one of ours off between wba bookings. If he was poor it was even imo
