West Brom (a) League Cup pre-match thread

[Deleted member 81382]

Delph has to start this.

If he doesn't start tonight then he never will

 

[SWP's back]

I think we could be surprised how strong the line up could be.

I agree but only because our bench is strong as fuck.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

He will play the subs and reserves and a couple of kids, exactly as he did against United. In fact, I'm sure the majority of those that received minutes against United in the league cup also played against Barca.

Agreed, I'd like to see gundogan, b Silva and perhaps even yaya get some minutes tonight, not too worried about the result but it's always good to keep a winning streak going

Starting line up was..

City XI: Caballero, Zabaleta, Kompany, Stones, Clichy, Fernando, Garcia, Navas, Angelino, Sané, Iheanacho

Clichy scored a cracker, I seem to recall!

Think you might be mixing it up with another game, highlights of that tie:

Exactly. Squad is a "massive" upgrade on last season.

I'm surprised people think pep will play a strong XI tonight; we played the kids against the rags of all people in our only league cup game last year.
If that doesn't scream how low it is on the list of priorities I'm not sure what will

we didn't have the depth of quality that we do now. I think it will be taken seriously

 

[PaleBlue]

I want us to win every game we play, but would play the fringe players in this one - deffo no Aguero, Kompany, Gundogan against these cloggers.

 

[ninjamonkey]

I reckon we'll see something like this

-------------Bravo

Danilo Tosin Mangala Zinchenko

---Delph Gundogan Yaya

--------Foden---Sane

-------------Jesus

Rearrange it however you want, they're all interchangeable.

What a good goal from Aleix Garcia.......

Is he on loan in Spain atm.....?

 

[SebastianBlue]

I am actually very much hoping we see something like this tonight:

-------------------- Bravo --------------------
Danilo --- Otamendi ---- Tosin --- Mendy
-------------------- Delph --------------------
----------- Bernardo ---- Foden ------------
---- Sterling ------ Jesus -------- Sane ----

Subs: Ederson, Mangala, Walker, Zinchenko, Yaya, Diaz, Aguero

Fanciful, I know, but it is balanced, flexible, gives a few kids an opportunity to play with proven talent, and exploits West Brom's weaknesses throughout.

On loan at girona atm: https://www.transfermarkt.com/aleix-garcia/profil/spieler/261504

A good point, our overall quality of the squad is much better than last year

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

For those who don't have an IPTV sub or a sat system, Reddit is your friend tonight: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccerstreams/

Might be a bit more difficult than usual though with it being a game not as widely broadcasted :)

 

[jimmy blue shoes]

If anyone is going and has Periscope, you know what to do!

 

[rnblade]

I really hope we smash them, it will be a difficult game, conditions and rotation of players to keep them sharp. The players that come in have a point to prove to Pep. It's a lovely problem to have.
If we take our opportunities, we should win this, however, it may become a battle zone if they get too physical.
0-2 CITY.

Searched all day there seems nothing stream wise for the game....better put batteries in the radio boys and girls

Tony Pulis hasn't won a league cup game for 6 years.

Don't think he'll have any intentions of winning this one, the league cup is just an obstacle to his 40 points target in the league.

With that said, would be very disappointed if we didn't see a couple of kids tonight and have a reasonably comfortable win.

Normally I'd think that level of expectstion was a bit arrogant but I'm pretty sure Pulis wil be actively looking to not win...

Cassidys on a 14" portable knowing Martin....

Rags with the customary 120" projector, no doubt!
