We have to be winning this again given how poor we've been. West brom have been pretty awful at the back for the most part. This shouldn't turn into another grind fest.
This feels like you’re planting a stick to beat Arteta with later on.
Liverpool, City, United and Spurs all failed to score more than a goal against them, two of them ended up drawing. The only team who scored 3 were Chelsea and that’s because they ended up 3-0 down.
A grind is exactly what I’m expecting.
They aren't a great defensive team. I watched them loads last season because I had them in a bet and they were a threat going forwards but too open at the back. They haven't really changed their squad so it's the same deal just with higher quality opposition.
I've no doubt they will sell up to be defensive to frustrate and if we end up falling into our usual tactic of going down the wings we will struggle. You can anticipate there is a good chance of this happening so you have to set the team up to counter that.
Anyway my main point is we need to be winning this match because I am pretty confident they will end up relegated because they are not a good team overall.
