West Bromwich Albion picked up a win, but Stefan Johansen’s performance has caused concern.

Several West Brom fans took to Twitter during and after their stunning 3-2 victory against Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday to slam the performance from Stefan Johansen at Loftus Road.

Darren Moore’s men have sent a clear message to their promotion rivals as Jake Livermore’s stoppage-time goal decided a game that had previously seen the Baggies pegged back twice.

West Brom are now within touching distance of the automatic-promotion spots heading into Saturday’s tantalising clash between the Baggies and Sheffield United at the Hawthorns.

But perhaps some of the West Brom fans will be hoping that the Fulham loanee does not start, as many were extremely critical of his latest performance.

A number of fans felt that he was at fault for QPR’s first goal as he was dispossessed just inside his own half before Luke Freeman went on to slam the ball past Sam Johnstone.

In fairness to the West Brom supporters on social media, they do not appear to be writing the 28-year-old off entirely, and their criticism only seems to be directed at this week’s display. But it does certainly seem that he will be under a lot more pressure to shine at the weekend if he plays, especially when you consider how important a game it is for both teams.
