much prefer Bale at LM.... we looked too flat in midfield with neither of the 2 CMs really capable of making up the extra man between the lines to support the attack.... this can be okay if we play with more pace on the wings from midfield to forward lines (Bale at LM)...

vdV played too withdrawn in the 2nd half, maybe lacks match-fitness still.... Pav looked isolated too often..

we REALLY need to get Gomes back.... or let Pletikosa play.

Well Carlo pulled his s**t together but no one else showed up in the 2nd half. There were times when they would give the ball away and just settle back into a defensive position rather than try to win it back. It was evident how much they missed Dawson's ability to win the ball in the air.

ONE point from Wigan & West Brom. We've got to do better than that!

And I agree with you, Gareth. It was obvious when VDV ran out of gas. He was impressive up to that point and then just disappeared.

He's strained his left adductor muscle it says. Whats that then ? Do we all have those or just footballers ? I wonder how mine are ? *courtesy of taimedowne*

Only good thing about this match was seeing what vdv can do.

We should be out of citeh's sight by now two poor performances against two poor teams, hardly acceptable Gareth. If we are going too realise our potential these are games we should be winning one way or another !!!!

Really disappointing result. Van der Vaart looked good buit ran out of steam. Gallas is clearly not fit and his poor performance proves it. Čorluka wasn't too good either. Whatever people say, we are not ready to play with a lone striker, I think Keane should have started because he clearly added some bite.

And the fact that ManC only managed a draw against Blackburn doesn't get us very far either because the next time we lose or draw a game we should be winning they will probably win.

Even know it was a pretty poor result... im not to disappointed.

I can't help but think, last season this was the type of match we would have lost, so a draw away to West brom who have looked decent this season so far, isn't to bad

What has happened to Lennon, Palacios and Corluka!? They all look really off the pace and have not had good games in ages! Pav up front on his own, i knew this would be a bad decision from the start. I would have played Keane from the start he came on and looked hungry and sharp but shame him or Crouch couldnt find a winner. We need to perform better and focus for the whole 90 minutes each game if we are to get into the top 4 again. Early days though but dropped points count at the end of the season.
