West Brom (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[Withnail]

Big swinging dick Ruben to finally get off the mark in this one to make up for his unfortunate OG in the reverse fixture

Only a matter of time before Dias gets on the scoresheet imo. He has been close on several times this season so it won't be long now hopefully.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

I'll say 3 nil to us

Let's hope we can rack up a few more wins to knock the belief out of Utd ... starting at West Brom.

Sooner or later, our forwards are bound to find their scoring boots (Jesus & Sterling, I'm looking at you) ... haven't they ?

If twas me....
- I'd play Fernandinho again (hopefully he's fit enough) alongside Gundogan
- I'd play Bernardo up front because of his tireless running
- I'd play Torres wide because neither Sterling nor Mahrez can beat a fullback

-------------------------Ederson----------------------
Cancelo------Stones--------Dias-------Zinch
----------------------------Rodri------------------------
----------Fernandinho--------Gundogan-------
Torres--------------Bernardo-------------Foden

I fully expect us to pick up 2 bits of silverware this season, the league cup and one other (preferably the league) but a quadruple is far fetched. We have seen this season any team can pick up a result on their day, and with the pile up of fixtures I feel we may have to prioritise trophies.

as much as I would love the CL, I don’t think we are the best team in it (but not far off) and would prefer we don’t spread ourselves too thin fighting on all fronts.

Unfortunately it looks like we will be fighting on all fronts and we are gonna have a massive challenge on resources tbh.. The mental toll on players is a bit scary and imo it seems fine to simply even throw the FA cup (even though we need to play only four games in FA cup in total)...

If we are focusing on all fronts, then we have to play 32 games still for a potential quadraple..This roughly amounts to 30 games before may 23..This means we have one game per four days on a average. And I am not even including the stupid international break in the midst of a fucking pandemic..

QOR all over again .

Can't see them getting anything this time, as their point came from a Ruben Dunnie.

Sadly Torres was unable to beat a L2 full back. No way that Dinho should play so soon when Rodri is available. I expect a very hard & gritty performance from both teams. Another 0-1 hopefully like the Doyle & Watson masterclass in the snow from the mid-70s.

Rest Fern and play Rodri for this one. Wish we could have cloned Fern 5 years ago and put the clone into deep freeze until needed.......

 

[hihosilva]

Ill try
Ederson
Cancelo Stones Dias Zinchenko
Bernardo Rodri Gundagan
Sterling Jesus Foden

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

I think if an early goal goes in, this could be a landslide. Everything depends on our taking simple chances.

Can you do that....?

 

[If I die in the Kippax St]

Fat Sam will be rubbing his cock raw at the thought of stifling evil Manchester City with his anti-football 1970s sunday league vibes.

This is a must win if only to give his cock a rest.

Very funny

 

[If I die in the Kippax St]

Not sure Mendy did too much wrong, am I missing something?

Yes you are,have a look at him trotting back on Saturday in the first 5 mins which was piss take. This guy is lazy and thick as fuck. He needs to knuckle down if he really wants his place back and breaking Covid rules just shows he can’t be arsed.

 

[Sibierskii]

Seeing Arsenal & Leeds hit 4 & 5 in the past month gives me hope of landslide

 

[Horlocksleftpeg]

Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko, Rodri, Gundogan, Foden, Bernardo, Sterling, Jesus.

That’s the team for me
