Official Manchester City v West Brom thread

"Cannot see us geting anything there. They will rush us and bully us off the ball. We simply do not have the stomach for such a game. Sorry to say but 2-0 to WBA. I can see this being our worst game of the season. We do not have the fight in us for this game. There is no way the RAG will be able to rouse our troops for this one."

I think city are as bad as anyone at the moment..but do you ever watch west brom? They won't bully us off the ball. They refuse to play that style of football, one of the reasons they are doing so badly i because they try and play 'football'.

Hoping for a performance so different from tonight, it will be hard to believe. Big Phil should start ahead of any of the others as far as I'm concerned, at least he got involved up top and did the dirty work in his cameo 10 Sven minutes tonight. If Hughes gets his tactics wrong again, he's off. These players had a great season last year, and only Ireland and Garrido have improved, whilst the rest have been below par. Look at the Everton game, SWP, Robinho, Elano and Ireland, all started. Probably the 4 most creative players we have, and, some of the most creative players in the league, yet none of them can seem to make a chance at the moment. Players don't lose their ability to play football in 6 months, Hughes has had a major influence on these players, and so far, it's been a negative one.

Were not going to lose this.

You have to be joking. Unless we get a new manager (and I have always supported Hughes until now), we will not beat anybody, especially eleven hungry guys playing for their survival. Our guys are complacently sitting on the fence, assuming that they will be automatically saved by the Arabian money. It will be 2-0 for WBA even if we play our strongest eleven, whatever that may be.

A big defeat here and it may be the end

Would think a defeat of any sort could be the end for Hughes.
I fear the worst but I'm still just about able to hope I may be wrong.
