Champion League
West Brom were let down by Darnell Furlong

West Bromwich Albion misplaced but once more at present, in a recreation that can go away Steve Bruce livid that his facet couldn’t maintain out and declare a end result at house to Swansea Metropolis.
Regardless of falling behind early on, two objectives for the Baggies after the restart meant they held a 2-1 lead with simply 25 minutes to go. Unsurprisingly, the lead slipped away with an equaliser on 71 minutes, earlier than Michael Obafemi’s 89th-minute strike received it for the guests.
This marks the Baggies’ sixth recreation and not using a win within the Championship, as they didn’t beat a facet that began the day inside touching distance of them within the league, however now discover themselves now five factors away from Albion.
David Button dropped a horrible efficiency, because the shot-stopper conceded 3 times while making solely one save. His SofaScore ranking of 5.2 was horrendous, however it was Darnell Furlong who most upset on Saturday.
His SofaScore ranking was solely marginally higher than the goalkeeper’s at 6.0, nevertheless, the defender was a legal responsibility on the again and provided little when venturing ahead.
The total-back didn’t make a single interception or sort out and received simply one of his six duels – an 83% failure charge.
He managed this while shedding possession 11 occasions, outlining simply how toothless he was offensively. His contribution to Bruce’s group was decidedly unfavourable, and his 39 touches show that he was largely a passenger within the match.
Neither of his two crosses discovered his supposed goal, and to cap his efficiency off he was booked simply earlier than half-time for a cynical foul.
Button could steal the headlines for one more invisible efficiency between the sticks, however it was Furlong who actually stunk out The Hawthorns.
Will probably be all of the extra disappointing given how he was dubbed “integral” to the facet not too way back.
This recreation towards the Swans was one which Bruce would have marked as a unbelievable alternative for them to get their season again on monitor, so to see one other defensively questionable show should disappoint him.
Who was the worst performer at present?
His facet have now leaked seven objectives of their final three video games.
Maybe to forestall this he’ll look to vary a few of the personnel. In that case, following at present’s efficiency, Furlong’s place within the group might be in jeopardy.
