Premier League: Sam Allardyce Ready to Ring in the Changes as West Bromwich Albion Flop Again

News 18  

Sam Allardyce looks set to make some major changes after his West Bromwich Albion side crashed to another embarrassing defeat, hammered 4-0 by Arsenal to round off a tough Christmas period for the relegation-threatened Baggies. West Brom have picked up a single point in Allardyce’s four games in charge, conceding 13 goals and looking all at sea in defence and toothless in attack, and the 66-year-old coach is ready to take action ahead of next week’s FA Cup tie with Blackpool. We need to work out a way of not trying to be as sloppy as we have been at conceding goals.” Second form bottom in the Premier League with eight points from 17 games, the Baggies face a daunting task to avoid relegation. It is as simple as that.” Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with his side’s performance in the cold and snow at the Hawthorns as they exploited West Brom’s defensive frailty.
