    Its just as we expected. WBA are parking the bus, so its upto us to take them apart.
    Are they playing 10 men behind the ball?

    Smalling plays a diagonal ball into the box for Van Persie but Dawson shepherds it out of play.

    Very slow start here, done absolutely nothing so far.

    yes, but we can't go scoring before the applause in the 5th minute otherwise you can't tell the difference between normal applause and the applause for Rio. Lads done well to not do anything to emphasize that fact.
     
    What is the point of Pulis' West Brom side? Boring defensive football. It seems every game I watch of them is like this. They don't even play good football like Crystal Palace.
     

    10 min

    Very slow start here. Ten minutes in and pretty much nothing of note has happened. United starting to look a little bit livelier the last minute or so, but they need to up the tempo a lot.
    Our passing looks a lot slow and labored without an extra midfielder in there. Two strikers does not look good for the system.
     
    I know this sounds premature, but it may be time to take off a defender and bring on an attacking player.
    WBA are totally content to sit back and allow us to have possession, in WBA's half.
    14% possession (WBA).
     
    West Brom are a disgrace here. Not moving the ball quickly enough though..
     
    Bus parked and trying to hit us on the counter. Hope we have a plan B if our usual doesn't work.
     
    Those 12 minutes have flown by. The only problem is I've been daydreaming for all but 30 seconds of it.
     
    Be nice if the other team came to play football at some point.
     

    13 min

    First chance of note. Herrera frees Young on the left, he cuts into the box, his shot deflects first off a West Brom player and then Van Persie, going out for a goal-kick.

    Was that not going in?
     
    Slow.
    Low tempo.
    No energy/aggression (from both sides).
    We need to increase the tempo.
