‘Outstanding’, ‘Too good for us’ – Many WBA fans awestruck by 27y/o in 4-0 defeat v Arsenal
West Brom once again fell to defeat in the Premier League on Saturday evening, losing 4-0 against a resurgent Arsenal.
Sam Allardyce made two changes to his side, bringing in Branislav Ivanovic and Matheus Pereira, but the defensive troubles continued.
Goals from Kieran Tierney, Bukayo Saka and Alexandre Lacazette highlighted the major problems facing the Baggies, who are far too open to allow sides chances at Sam Johnstone.
Johnstone is one of the only positives since promotion to the Premier League.
The 27-year-old has been outstanding, and no other keeper has made more saves than the Baggies keeper, something which proves his improvements.
The stopper has faced his critics during our time in the Championship, but there is no doubting his importance to this Albion side.
It has been reported by the Sun that other clubs such as Leeds, Spurs and Brighton are all interested in Johnstone, and on tonight’s evidence, it is clear to see why.
Many West Brom fans have praised Johnstone for his performance against the Gunners, and his multiple interventions to keep the score as low as he did.
Some worrying responses from fans claimed that the Baggies will find it hard to keep hold of their keeper this month, with numerous clubs interested.
