West Brom (A) Pre-Match Thread

Chelsea play it very well but they are drilled and take no chances dallying around with the ball,they clear their lines the old fashioned way

Do they play it very well? Because they've been dogshit defensively all season except one good game against a terrible rag side. A lot of manages over the past few years have decided to try and do a trendy three at the back and it's generally been pretty useless

Maffeo is probably knackered after Wednesday. He ran his socks off.

I wasn't expecting him to feature today. He'll get other chances

Good to see Pep taking a leaf out of Pellegrini's book in sticking by the same old tried and tested pish no matter how poor they have been performing, whilst leaving MOTM performing young lads out of not only the 1st 11 but the match day squad. Thought this guy was supposed to have balls?

(If Maffeo is injured - I'll apologise in advance, however there's still no logical excuse for choosing Fernando over Garcia).

Shut up you mug, honesty we are 40 mins from KO. We will win today
Size of WBA against garcia from corners? We are going to have a hell of a lot of the ball, so we can afford to stick one big lad in there to help with their only threat
We will play 4 at the back against Barca. Stick your dummy back in

Too many pseudo managers about these days. Think they know everything about tactics, that they never have to put
into practice. How about we see how the team and personnel play, before fucking moaning.
It's the same every week and gets fucking depressing. We are supposed to be supporters.

We had our best run with 4-3-3 formation, why change it to 3-6-1 ! ?

Coz its pep and its hip and cool to piss about with formations .he has a book out that some people think is the holy bible the way its quoted on here

Kolarov a bruiser? Having loads of tattoos doesn't make him tough.

He looks like an eastern block assasin to me. Never overtly dirty but it's there.

That's definitely why Pep is using it. Because it's trendy.

This - usual pant wetters out in force pre kick off - agree 100%

Avoiding the matchday thread then?

We should make a bingo card for that one.
