Yep, but can only find it on tsn3 which keeps freezing.

Anywhere else?

Poor half. Poor efforts from our forwards not testing the keeper at all. Dominating the game possession wise but that's it!

Just checked score 0-0 :groan:

greendom

Anyone fancy trying a cross into the box maybe?

jester77

They was a painful half to watch, they are so static around the box, just pinging the ball around going nowhere. West Bromwich look more like scoring when they go down our end.

wonga77

Poor stuff so far. Dominating possesion but don't look threatening at all going forward

greendom

Ramsey on for Coquelin sharpish!

Ramsey on for Coquelin sharpish!

emmetlego

Really should have scored there. Sanchez shot saved then hits post. Getting closer!

Alfred Borden

Iwobi has been rubbish again

emmetlego

Sanchez close again... has to happen soon you'd think!

emmetlego

And Giroud heads straight at keeper!

emmetlego

West Brom keeper brilliant save from OG...

emmetlego

West Brom have rode the storm well, you can just feel a sucker punch coming!!!

Alfred Borden

How does he need to wait for 70 minutes to change this?

Topbike77

Ramsey for iwobi and Perez for giroud.

emmetlego

Lucas and Nacho on for Gibbs (injury) and Iwobi @70 mins

Alfred Borden

Main man Ramsey to the rescue here.

emmetlego

Ramsey's on for coq @73 mins

emmetlego

Ffs Giroud!

emmetlego

Is it just me, or does it seem like Lucas gets pushed off the ball very easily?

Skylinehead

Can't watch but this doesn't sound like it will end well

Alfred Borden

Get in!

Disregard.

I hope.

Just woke up, checked football scores. Saw it was 0-0. Hit refresh, goal Giroud.

Have they played poorly?

Great ball from Ozil. Lovely header.

Ol' Donie

YES!

THANK F***IN F*** FOR THAT.

JESUS.

Piss poor. I'll take the result for all the good it will do though

The last few minutes was very telling there, the game was far too open after the goal. Any sensible team would have played keep ball, not arsenal.

Alfred Borden

Lucas and Ramsey should be starting over Iwobi and Coquelin, especially in games like this.

Just saw the lineups.

How was Perez for the time he was on? What about Ramsey? Why did Gibbs come off? Playing poorly or injury? What side was Sanchez?

Sanchez mostly on the left, gibbs off with a knock after going in late on Jacob. Perez wasn't great. good finish by OG with a good ball in from MO. 76% posession tells its own story...we weren't good in their final third

L'prof

No changes today, delighted they got the win. Would be a crime if they didn't though in fairness!

Should have had 3/4 goals there today, made me very uneasy!!! Take the win and move on. As was already said, poor in final 1/4 of pitch where it counts but WBA set up with 2 lines of 5 and 4. Very hard to break down.

greendom

WBA defended very deep and were very well organised. Iwobi continually cutting in played into their hands with Giroud desperate for a decent cross (which he finally got). No surprise that we scored from a cross and that we came very close from one of the few other crosses attempted.

No tbf Chelsea and Liverpool have only beaten them by the odd goal. That said though we don't put in enough crosses and Ozil is well able to cross

Yep, and Chelsea didn't really create a chance against them apart from the goal which was a gifted 1-on-1 that admittedly Costa finished brilliantly.

Chelsea really are performing like Leicester were last year. Seem to be getting a lot of goals for the amount of shots they take.

Today we had 26 shots, with 11 on target, and only managed one goal. They had 14 shots, 5 on target, and 3 goals.

emmetlego

It was important to get that win today. A bit of stability resumed after the last 2 games. Just saw the goal again there. Really was a fine finish from Giroud! There was good intensity today too, something sadly lacking V Toffees and City.

Improved result on the last Boxing Day
