Feel like we will win this comfortably.

With Bernardo in instead of KBD I think we should have a lot more control and be able to sustain the pressure outside their box for a long time. At that point it's just a matter of time of someone making the correct run and pass and we are in.

I would have Sterling right, Jesus left and Torres in the middle.

I see this as one of the toughest game’s of the season. Big Sam will have them all behind the ball tonight and city are in for one hell of a game in getting round them. Will be a very tough watch I’m afraid but I still take us to win this.

Leave it to Phil. He will glide through their defensive lines and the ball will be in the back of the net before the keeper moves..

This has the makings of either a really boring City win where we're 3-0 up after 20 minutes and we just spend the rest of the game cruising in 1st gear, or an antagonising match where we have 87 shots and we're praying for a winner in the 90th minute to prevent a 0-0.

I'd prefer the former, personally.

Latter for me, get the blood flowing.

People won't like it but I wouldn't be surprised if he gave Mendy another chance because he's over 6ft, handy at defensive headers and West Brom are likely going to be aiming for set pieces to score goals.

Mahrez might also get a second game in a row, I feel like Pep's got form for giving fringe players more than 1 game when they get rotated in, but I hope not.

have to say his heading ability doesn't instantly spring to mind.
 
Must win game vs a promoted club, get the 3 points to keep the pressure on the close rivals.

WBA will sit deep, we know what kind of game to expect here, but we could not beat them at home recently. That now needs to be corrected with a win.

Also Everton-Leicester is huge, wouldnt mind a draw there.
 
We have to go and win tonight. It's games like this that will determine where the title goes. We dropped points at home to them but can't afford to again. Let's make it 7 in a row. We then need to beat Sheffield Utd and Burnley and make it 9 in a row. And the 10th is at Anfield where we'll be in great spirits to hopefully go and finally get that win. If we manage 10 in a row, we'll be in a great position.

It will mean one of the other rivals out there has to go and do something similar to stand any chance of winning the league. And the stakes get higher and higher as the season goes on so now is the best time to start laying that marker.
 
bfs is mainly labelled and slagged for being a ten-man defence hoof-ball merchant, forgetting his Bolton thug team days. For me the dirtiest team i've ever seen.
Seeing our jewel exposed to a bfs team, who will have a strategy to "deal" with our Phil is not a pleasant thought....

I'll tell you what @MAG , your work on these pre-match openers pisses all over anything most other media outlets can come up with.

I hope @Ric is paying you the standard BM wages, two halves of weak larger per game i believe?

A very welcome addition to the forum.
