Football

Back home from an unbelievable day at the hawthorns. Great atmosphere. Club brought back the liquidator to its home and it fired the crowd and the players. First ten minutes were brilliant and then for no reason the players just took the foot off the gas. Albion deserve to go down because they don't have the know how any more of how to control the tempo of a game to their advantage. They also don't understand the pressing game that the manager is asking them to play. If only one midfielder closes and harasses a man on the ball but the others don't get ready to pounce on his receiving team mates then that first midfielder is going to get dragged out of position. It's not rocket science and professionals should be able to master it without difficulty. Good captains and managers see this on the pitch as it happens and make sure the team doesn't lower it's standards do during the game. Cardiff were a rubbish team yet we managed to concede three goals.
On the plus side it was a great day out. Spoke to some really nice people around me and was able to shrug it off. Seen it all before and ten times worse. Come on you Baggies!
