We have big problems. It now makes sense as to why we are after another keeper. Both were mistakes that pants wouldn't have let in. You can see Muric has great ability to start attack's but if he can't catch the ball we are in trouble. I am not sure the tactics are right. Time and time again two West Brom players were left to attack Cash who is not a defender. We finally get rid of Osborn our make shift leftback and then we decide to put a centremid at rightback. Watson hasn't worked for the last two managers and if he is the Lynchpin we are in trouble. Finally Grabban reminded me of Murphy last season - off the pace, awful touch and looked like he had concrete in his boots. The positives are Mir looked lively, Semedo was energetic and I thought the two centre backs didn't do anything wrong. There's not much we can take from the first game as some teams you know will be up there have lost. But that being said I thought West Brom were terrible. Only their rightback stood out. So it could be a long season.

I suppose the disappointing thing is 2 errors 2 goals if they hadn't happened West Brom mite have got nowt. Although no expectations it has been a frustrating theme in recent years where we start well 10 15 mins then the other team score or put some play together and we run around like feckless chickens especially at home. West Brom dominated with out doing much which stinks, kind of reminds of England good 20 minutes then nowt there after, okay Southgate has them playing better but it's the reason I stopped watching them play before Southgate. It's just sad that yet again the season has just started and you can feel the frustration already quite sad really. I'd also play Mir not Grabban as I've never liked him or his attitude, Mir may or may not be the answer but the managers to choice to bring him in so play him, Grabban is pants rather Silenzi 😂😂.

The scale of our deficiencies on today's performance is truly shocking. Some have suggested that WBA were mediocre, but in my view they got their goals and just did what was necessary to see the game out. Fair play to them.

Just take a step back to last season and we destroyed WBA for70 mins, now we managed 10 mins.
We are going backwards.

Karanka had his feet swiped away from under him as soon as a DoF was appointed. Greek football is not the same as English, and nor is the structure surrounding it. I'm being polite.

Did u see Dawson tearing his hair out trying to get them organised at the back for a corner no one is listening an Watson is supposed to be the captain I saw him having a chin wag with 1 of their players, get him out the team an out of the club needs to be retired (gone soft)

Redtree I wasnt a fan of karanka as most of you know.
But since he left the club doesn't seem to have a direction other than to go to roulette football table.
Very sad they have picked that route.

Karanka has done the best job of any manager since billy.

Yeah Dawson had to mark about 3 players and was going off the head at the other players.
