West Brom (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[Welsh]

You're all fickle as fuck, not one mention of Delap.....this time he IS eligible.

Ederson will take a penalty in a CL final before Delap gets on the pitch in the premier league again

I would actually be tempted to drop KDB and give Foden and Bernardo a chance in those two attacking midfield spots.

Might give him a kick up the arse and realise he needs to start scoring.

Probably have Cancelo and Mendy at fullback as they shouldn't be needed at our end too often.

I’d be tempted to drop Kev purely so he can have a rest. If we can’t beat West Brom without him then clearly we’re fucked

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Would start with both Jesus & Aguero , we need goals and we have two decent strikers , and West Brom will only have one intention , nick a point or keep the score down , even if we only get 60 minutes from Kun , hopefully we have done the damage by then

Why the outcry to rest kev he's missed 3 of the last 6 games that's more than enough rest

He's definitely not on his game but I can't figure out whether he's physically and mentally fucked, or rusty and hoping to play his way back into form.

It's the go to response for the armchair, crisp munching, sugar drinks guzzling
experts on here.

We’ve won something like the last 13 matches against WBA and they’ve never won a premier league match on a Tuesday. They’re 19-1 to win tonight. This could be the most typical city result of all time

 

[Protein Junkie]

I think this game could be the springboard for our season. In fact I think it’s critical. The following night is the bin derby between the lids and dippers and one or both will drop points. Three points is vital no more or less.

I don't think he needs resting, he's played 1 game a week for a while now so should be at 100%.

I think he is a bit too comfortable and knows regardless of performance he is going to play. We saw a drop off in Walker form when he was in the same situation with no competition but Cancelo putting in some good performances has got him back to his best.

Hopefully if Foden plays and gets a couple of goal involvements it might light a bit of a fire under Kevin's arse. We need him at top form to get back to the top of the table.

 

[GoatersLeftShin]

To do that, we need to create about 140 chances.

Unlikely against a parked bus full of hatchet men.

Go and have a lie down.

Had a good lie down and feel fully refreshed :)

I still think we will win 7-0! :)

 

[Fordyboy46]

Can't wait for this one tonight, should be a belter!

Struggled at yoonited because he had no help.

 

[Cityinmud]

Rotate and win.

 

[oldius]

I am really excited for tonight's game; I just have a feeling that we are on the cusp of really turning it on. We had real defensive frailty and looked so vulnerable but we have become really solid. The next step is to start banging them in once more. Come on lads.

Hopefully Jesus gets a few to boost his confidence

Think this will be tighter than some people are saying here. They drew with Chelsea, only lost to Utd due to that retaken penalty and only lost by 1 goal to Spurs. We will of course dominate possession and have a host of chances but our finishing is woeful and we needed a soft penalty (although a penalty) to make the game safe against Fulham. Depends if we can take our chances for a change

 

[FantasyIreland]

Nothing wrong with his confidence,or form.Hes the least of our attacking concerns.

 

[MCC]

3 points a must tonight. Hopefully, Pep will freshen things up and rest a couple of starters for the weekend game - Saints away will be a much tougher test than the Baggies at home.
