We weren't lucky to salvage a point against West Brom at all. They rode their luck thanks to a top class performance from Ben Foster, and then in typical Pulis fashion they managed to score off one of a small handful of set pieces they fashioned. If we had lost that game it would have been a travesty.
Bournemouth on the other hand was a different kettle of fish. A draw was as much as we deserved, just. Howe is doing bits with that team.
We do have issues with fluidity in attack, from chances created to conversion. That is indeed a problem, exacerbated by losing the Golden Boot Winner from last season and Jannsen struggling to adjust to the league. It doesn't help playing 3 games in 6 days, all of them away. But that's what happens when you get into the CL, no throw away games now in Europe where we can field youth teams like we used to do in the Europa with Redknapp.
