Not sure a rating's possible today tbh, we were playing nicely till it all went wrong and with 9 against 11 for that long honestly how much can a manager do? On paper this is getting to be a poor start to the season though, the only time we've resembled ourselves of back end of last season has been second half at Spurs and I'm starting to worry we're reaching for a lot of excuses for simply being poor so far A token 6* for Leslie today from me. please add * to your rating if you were at the match?

Very difficult task with only 9 players and a knock to Glenn Johnson re substitutions
I would have been great to see Joselu given some time
MH inspired the players to give 110% in the 2nd half and Whelan was magnificent in carrying out the instructions
7* - not sure what else he could have done with the players available

A difficult one this but the way he sent the team out for the second half and the display they put in deserves a 10* Gouranga.

I thought we looked like we were getting back to our best until the first sending off so on the basis of a competitive starting 11, Hughes deserves a high mark.
I said during the second half that I'd like to see at least one sub on the pitch early as fresh legs would have helped what was already a decent half. So, for me, the subs were late but given the injury to Johnson I think he made the right subs - and we did look very dangerous in the last quarter as the fresh legs of Arnie and Ireland exerted some control.
So a 9* from me - he loses a point for the lateness of the subs.

6. Loses points for starting afellay on the wing and also Starting Adam over Ireland. Coincidentally it worked out the way it did with those two and hindsight is a wonderful thing but I wouldn't have started either of those today.

9*. I was moaning that Wilson should have come on as soon as went down to 9. MH didn't and he was right given the second half. Still took a point off as mame should have been subbed sooner, plus 9 apt today

10* I was extremely pissed off at ht due to the 2 sendings off and the goal right on half time.
First 20 minutes we dominated, played some very good football, Shaqiri was finding spaces wanting the ball. Could feel something was going to happen, then Afellay & Adam stepped up with the assistance of the officials and all my hopes were shattered. I really felt like just fcking off home at ht.
2nd half our boys gave everything, Arnie turned the game in our favour and looked a real threat despite us playing with only 9 men. Whelan bossed what was left of our midfield, Diouf ran his legs into the ground. Actually came out the ground at the end very proud, despite us losing 1-0.
10 for all the players too. Except Adam & Afellay who get -10

funny game , we started poorly too much sideways going nowhere play
looked lost after the sendings off until half time
couldnt ask for more second half considering
so two halves one poor one good = 5

If the game had been at The Hawthorns, West Brom were down to 9 men after 30 mins , he would have been absolutely livid with the lack of ambition from his players. Would we have been happy to take all 3 points in this situation? In reality our 9 men were magnificent and he organised a very effective set up which deserved to get a point .

Has to be a 9, not much he could have done with only 9 men,if we had snatched a draw, I would have given him 20.

7 - game was lost off the pitch to a degree in not being mentally prepared for a typical spoiling, uber negative, niggly game from Pulis where discipline needed to be first class.......

10 for me. The first 11 looked strong. The subs he made were spot on. Couldn't really ask for more.

7 only because he didn't deliver an uppercut to that tracksuited anti-football wankstain.

9* from me. He got everything right and his initial lineup was spot on with us playing some beautiful football. Then shit happened and still he got the 9 warriors on the pitch play to match the Baggies 11 men plus Oliver. I've knocked him a point off for defending Adam, who until he got sent off was playing very well.
OS.
