Ryan Mason spotted in furious reaction after what Samuel Iling-Junior did in West Brom vs Watford
West Brom went into the break drawing 1-1 with Watford and Samuel Iling-Junior may still feel the wrath of Ryan Mason.
Mason made three changes to his West Brom side for the contest, dropping Josh Maja from his place leading the line.
The Hawthorns outfit took the lead through a superb Isaac Price strike after 34 minutes, as the Northern Irish star continued his impressive run of form, before Imran Louza equalised.
However, Iling-Junior, who started on the right wing, was not as impactful, and he left Mason visibly angry in the first 45 minutes.
Ryan Mason has a go at Samuel Iling-Junior
Iling-Junior has had a mixed start to life at West Brom, going missing in some games for the Baggies, when they need him to step up.
He was caught lacking on the ball in the first 15 minutes of the contest, as he attempted to use trickery to his advantage.
Mason‘s reaction was a furious one, and he was seen having a go at the 22-year-old on the sidelines after his antics failed.
Lewis Cox, from the Express and Star, said: “Mason has a go at Iling-Junior across the pitch after the winger tries a couple of unsuccessful flicks in the space of a minute and loses the ball. The Baggies head coach was unimpressed.”
West Brom need Iling-Junior to step up
Iling-Junior was a high-profile addition, when he signed for Albion, on loan from local rivals Aston Villa.
He has just one goal and no assists in five Championship appearances so far, and the Baggies need more from the former Juventus star.
- Iling-Junior signed for Villa in a double deal with Enzo Barrenechea, which cost a total of £11million and was related to the Douglas Luiz deal
- He joined the West Midlands outfit on loan this summer
- The England Under-21 midfielder has started three of Albion’s last four matches
He is expected to contribute with the likes of Price, Johnston and Heggebo in attack, but so far, he is struggling to have the required impact.
If Mason wants his side to achieve their ambitions, of promotion to the Premier League, he needs every attacker to be firing on all cylinders.
Right now, the Villa loanee is not playing his part, and if he keeps frustrating the manager, then he may find himself out of the side, sooner rather than later.
