West Brom fans have taken to Twitter to complain about Slaven Bilic’s use of Matheus Pereira, following the 2-0 defeat to Fulham on Monday.
The Brazilian was once again playing out wide, something that the Baggies supporters recently ordered Bilic not to do – however, it seems the former West Ham manager hasn’t listened.
Unsurprisingly given the circumstances, the 24-year-old didn’t have a great game at Craven Cottage as Scott Parker’s side earned all three points.
SofaScore shows that Pereira had no shots in his 56 minutes on the pitch, while he also failed to make a single key pass.
The former Sporting Lisbon man also lost possession on 17 occasions, while failing to record a single cross – he also completed just two dribbles.
Defensively, Pereira was also absent. He failed to register a successful tackle, interception, block or clearance.
However, bad players don’t record eight goals and 20 assists in a single league campaign, as the Baggies playmaker did last season.
It seems like he is being mismanaged by Bilic from a tactical sense.
If West Brom are to avoid an immediate return to the Championship, they must utilise their best players, rather than hinder them.
Let’s see what the West Brom fans on Twitter have been saying…
