West Brom (a) League Cup pre-match thread

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

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.
