A real team effort defensively from West Brom and O'Shea was very much a part of it. Looks at home already at this level at 21.
You'd have to think about starting him in March really if he continues playing like he did tonight.
I would play coleman Egan Clark doherty and this kid sitting as a holding mid in Belgrado
Duffy has come out and admitted he has been cráp and had no issues with being dropped for the 2 games, apparantly him and Lennon have a good relationship (solidarity of the doomed?). He said the "break" has done him good and his form has improved since, step by step program.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Bilic has been sacked which is pretty harsh after a draw with City.Unfortunate because he clearly rated O’Shea so highly.Hopefully the next guy sticks with him, he’s been outstanding given his age, looks a real talent.
Did Bilic not pull off a bit of a miracle to get West Brom Promoted ?

According to the Express Sam Allardyce is lined up ~ could be just paper talk.
The decision will have been made before the City game. They'll have just left him in place for that game for continuity, which is a nasty enough way to go about your business as a club. I'm a bit torn because I enjoy seeing clubs who act like that getting relegated, like Watford last year, but obviously I also want to see O'Shea do well.
Relegation for West Brom but a move to a top half team for O'Shea after an impressive second half of the season would be about the best option, but probably a long shot.
It's very harsh on Bilic, but he'll have plenty of offers after the job he has done there.
Allardyce confirmed...
If O'Shea continues the season like he played yesterday I wouldnt be surprised if a bigger club came in for him in the summer.
Starts centre half versus Liverpool. Looks like Robinson is playing behind the front man.
This will be a tough game for both. Particularly O'Shea with the preferred front three starting for Liverpool.
O'Shea is after a great first half. West Brom have been under a lot of pressure and he has made 7 clearances already, cutting out some very good balls by Robertson in particular.
Though he did very well again. 10 Premier League appearances for him before New Year, at the start of the season I'd have been happy if he'd made 10 Premier League appearances in the whole season.
Robinson was playing so far behind the front man he was almost a right back. Really defensive setup from West Brom but it worked for them.
I was impressed with him today as well, even if West Brom end up going down, he'll have had a full season of Premier League experience behind him. I know this isn't the thread for it, but the way West Brom set up today is the way Ireland should be playing against bigger countries, given the players we have.
