Even with moyes' tactics, we would've been so much higher up the table if we just played our best players all the time and not gone with the two we all don't like all the time. Funny what can happen when you play your strongest lineup.

The embarrassing thing about the goal is that Mata had come short and found a nice little bit of space, but RVP didn't even LOOK at him, he just blasted it hopefully into the box.

It's all fine and well saying Jones scored, but it's really indicative of our problems. RVP should have passed to Mata who was in a position to create a REAL opportunity.

He didnt blast it hopefully, in the seconds leading up to the delivery he twice made a gesture indicating exactly what he was going to do. It was really clear what sort of delivery was coming.

Adnan tried the spectacular there.

At least he's having a bash. Mata can be frustrating at times where he takes the ball, has two or three touches and then passes, where he could have taken a touch and had a dig.
 
I know it's WBA, but it's refreshing to see that we're bossing the midfield for once.

Did mata bring a defender with him to allow space?

The difference between rafael and smalling on the right is just incredible.

As much of a difference you would expect between a class RB and a CB played out of position....

So far, our best performance in months. Nice to see Moyes pick a decent 11 for a change. Fellaini is looking more decent too.

The palace game was better IMO, we controlled it and seemed more confident. This one we are still pretty static off the ball.

We should be fine now. First goal is usually our biggest problem.

We need to take our chances now and add a second though.

Our problem is late goals because we play like 1-0 is enough. Hoping it doesn't happen here

From some of the comments on here, you would have thought Moyes was purposefully picking bad teams...

You need to ignore many of the comments.

The performance has been fine. Away at a tricky ground

I'm delighted.

Although we look a little unsure at the back at times

Yeah that's why I said we should score a second. If it stays 1-0 till the last 10 minutes then it's dangerous again.

But I think we'll score a second now and solidify our lead.

How are we playing?

well, at least before the goal, controlling midfield, looking more inventive in the attacking third and generally more confident - West Brom appear to give us a lot of respect
