Slaven Bilic’s West Bromwich Albion put in one of their worst performances of the season last night and some of The Hawthorns faithful slammed the Baggies man.
A number of West Bromwich Albion fans have been commenting on Twitter regarding their uninspiring 1-1 draw in the Championship last night and Filip Krovinovic came in for some criticism.
This summer, the Croatian midfielder linked up with The Hawthorns outfit from Portuguese giants Benfica on a season-long loan deal, Slaven Bilic’s first signing since his appointment to The Hawthorns dugout (BBC Sport).
Krovinovic thoroughly impressed in pre-season for the Baggies and played 90 minutes in each of West Brom‘s first five Championship games, but since then he’s fallen out of starting contention.
Prior to last night’s game, he added just three more starts in the league to his first five, and in each one of those three he was subbed off (Transfermarkt) – in every other Championship game he either came on as a sub or remained on the bench.
With a busy December programme, Bilic opted to name the 24-year-old in his starting XI at Wigan but he didn’t do too well, failing to find the killer pass to slice open the opposition defence – indeed he wasn’t particularly attacking in his passing – and was eventually moved deeper back.
Here is what some West Brom fans were saying about Krovinovic:
Up next for West Brom is Saturday’s Championship trip to Birmingham City.
