West Brom pre match thread

[SebastianBlue]

The reliance on Silva Is embarrasing, its West Brom not fucking Barcelona

That's an oversimplification. We need Silva because we are without Yaya. Missing those two would be like Real losing Bale and Ronaldo, Barça losing Messi and Iniesta, or Bayern losing Ribery and Müller. They would all be a much much less potent force.

They'd still fancy themselves to beat west brom though I reckon.

Barça and Chelsea imagined they would beat Granada and Sunderland.

Its a must win because we have Everton away soon and I don't have much confidence that we can go there right now and get a victory. People need to get real, we may not get champs league if we don't watch it. You do realise Arsenal are getting all their best players and have a very winnable run in and Everton are in good form with a very passionate crowd behind them. Im not bottling it, Im just saying we need to win these home games coming up.

I'm very very real and think you are being a tad over dramatic. Having watched Everton today, I'm quite confident that we can go
there and get a result. I know we had a poor performance against the mackems but I don't think we will play like that again.
Thank God !

Having watched Everton? Really, did you and I watch the same game? Because they absolutely dominated United which is a better team now than it was at any other point during this season. It is of course possible that we will beat them, but the most realistic result there is a tie. Especially given that our coach is not the best under pressure and that Martinez is a genius.

That would be the same team that we barely broke a sweat pummelling in their own den a few weeks ago?

Tonight will be a stroll in the park. 3-0. Pressure off and nothing really to lose

We are a better team than West Brom.

Liverpool have played well and have enjoyed a great run of victories and this run has included its fair share of good luck.

These runs and the good luck do not go on forever.

Nobody thought Chelsea would lose to Villa.

Nobody thought Chelsea would lose to Palace.

We are a better team than Liverpool.

If Liverpool win all their remaining games I will be surprised but they will deserve their title despite the horrible, ugly, nasty piece of cheating work called Suarez.

We are a better team than Chelsea.

We are a better team than Everton.

We are a better team than Crystal Palace.

I have decided to travel 500 kms to Faro, Portugal... fly to Manchester... rent a car... book into a hotel... pay over £200 for four tickets for the last two matches of the season before flying back to Faro on the Monday and thus using up over half of my life's savings... (I'm nearly 70)... I missed the Aquero moment by not having enough faith. It will not happen again. I was so ashamed. (I was at the Newcastle (A) game when we won that title...)

Now...

Who will join me for a few beers to celebrate after the Sledge Hammers match and which pub is the best one for this event?

PS. At the huge risk of upsetting many... I am totally fed up to the hind teeth of hearing about the 96 over and over again for 25 years and all the blubbing Scousers. In that time there have been loads and loads of tragic disasters and injustices that no one, including them, seems to give a monkies about...

Sorry but I have held it in for too long...

good for you fella.

[blue ranger]

Good news ....... getting ready to go to game. On SSN just showed silva arriving with his suit case. Hopefully Merlin is back

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

we need tempo from the start including the crowd - rack up the score line in case it boils down to goal difference as well

forget sunderland and lets go and win the remaining games

 

[inbetween]

i think you mean we should stroll it tonight, this is city dont forget.
but yeah we should let rip tonight and try and rediscover our form

 

[Luck95]

Seems that silva will play Some part in the game however lets not forget what happened the other day when we was all hoping kompany would play even though he had a knock. He has the difference to change a game and lets hope he is all good

 

[inbetween]

We certainly need to make this a 5-0 or something, if Liverpool get beat by Chelsea or anywhere, we need to be able to win it on GD and at the moment it is only +2 for us. If GD is equal then it goes down to goals scored which will probably favour Liverpool.

We are 3 wins bwhind Liverpool (which is a minimum of a +4 goals swing in our favour) and already 2 goals ahead of them. So if it does go to goal difference then we should be well ahead of them
