Still wonder who the first youth cb will make it at City…THB was decent in the summer tournament. In the younger age group, Doyle has a good tournament too. Mbete on loan hopefully can improve his game.

They all have their weaknesses that could prevent them reaching the top,but of the 3....i give THB the best chance,he has a better balance of attributes IMO.

Double jeopardy has been a rule for a couple of seasons now.

If it's a genuine attempt to play the ball, it's just a yellow and a penalty.

Has anyone ever seen you and I in the same room at the same time?

Only when a penalty is awarded. Outside the box, red card still applies.

I rank THB and Doyle equally at this point, even if Doyle perhaps would make the case he has done more at the senior level. I think only one (if either) would be brought back in to the first team and I get the sense it would be THB due to Pep’s interaction with him specifically.

You’re right in talking about better balance. He’s also had more first team football out of the three. I know he’s not spoken about a lot but I like Finley Burns personally.

It’s his composure and the way he reminds me of Stones the way he’s calm despite pressure and always picking out good options.

Burns didnt convince me for a good while,but yes,he is developing very nicely indeed.

I'm a big fan of Doyle,but i genuinely think his lack of mobility will hold him back somewhat.

Agreed on Burns.

Funny thing on Doyle, when he moved up to the EDS seasons back, that mobility was certainly there. However, since the loan moves, he’s way of playing has changed. Rather, he looks a different player and I can’t put my finger on what exactly.

Teller looks like their Alvarez.

 

[Josh_D]

West Brom really putting the squeeze on. Vinny will need to have a word at half time.

They’ve been looking for that pass to him as well

 

[SebastianBlue]

THB getting the plaudits from the commentators with mention he is on loan from City.

Definite overtures.

Lucky there Burnley. Good but fortuitous save from Muric.

Shame he's shite when he gets the ball, aside from that

 

[SebastianBlue]

That was a great save from Muric.

Give him time. And I didn’t say he had the same quality as Alvarez. ;-)

 

[MCFC1993]

What has Steve Bruce done at West Brom and why are they sticking with him.

He's took them from playoff/promotion contenders and made them significantly worse, this would be 1 win in 8.

I think they're playing alright today, so maybe they've just been unlucky.

 

[Josh_D]

Feel like they need someone on the other wing similar to Teller and a ball carrier in the middle.
