‘Badly broken’ – Joseph Masi destroys West Brom after Luton Town loss
Joseph Masi has destroyed West Brom following their 2-0 defeat to Luton Town on Saturday (February 19).
One league win in their last ten games sees Albion sitting rather uncomfortably in 11th place in the Championship.
Masi sympathised with Bruce and slammed the players in his assessment of the Baggies’ form in recent weeks.
As reported for Express & Star, he said: “Until recently, they looked a team that – at the very least – would finish in the top six.
“Now, though, they are so badly broken it’s hard to see how Steve Bruce can fix them.
“Stood on the touchline at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, the 61-year-old must have wondered what on earth he has walked into.”
When speaking the Albion players attitudes, Masi added: “Players who have now failed to score in their last five games.
“Players who have won just one of their last 10 Championship games.
“Players who – at this moment in time – do not deserve to wear an Albion shirt, let alone pick up their hefty wages.”
Sorry state
Even Bruce with more Premier League promotions than any other manager will struggle to get this side promoted.
As expected, when a new manager came in there was a good response from the players and despite them not winning, there was a clear difference in the games against Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers.
But this weekend’s performance looked as if the Albion players had gone back to old ways under Valerien Ismael. They lacked all over the park and despite having the majority of possession and more than double the shots of Luton, they failed to create very many clear-cut chances.
The Baggies are dropping further and further down the table on a weekly basis when they really need to be making up positions.
Promotion looks completely unachievable with these players and it would be very easy to give up hope. The next game is absolutely crucial for Bruce and the team.
