West Brom pre match thread

[BigOscar]

Jovetic isn't a midfielder though, so a swap for Nasri would be a huge risk. 3 strikers from the start is a little on the suicidal side for my taste

Just got in bed in my pjs and put the big screen on. Got a pack of country slice, bottle of red and no prick behind me winging about garcia or Clichy. Think arm chair fan is the way forward.

You have an arm chair in your bed ? Weird ;-)

Off to the Etihad in a mo, team looks deeecent

Would have gone Aguero up front and an extra midfielder. Plenty of attack there, but not a lot of steel.

Pellegrini shows again that he can't think under pressure. He doesn't chose Jovetic who seems up for it and he picks Clichy for a game against WBA. I am now concerned about this game.

No Pellegrini showing he doesn't listen to the likes of you, you mean. How about we watch the game before
ripping into the manager and players. It's called support.

Oh really? Well, I thought if I b*tch after the game, that will be too easy. I am upfront and telling you that this will cost us the game, in my opinion. If it doesn't, well, I will admit that I am wrong, maybe even that I am stupid. If it does, it will prove that I am right. It is easy to declare a lineup wrong after the fact. Try doing it before. Thanks.

What does Jovetic need to do to start?

 

[RegMuffin]

Picked his strongest, fittest team. I'd be asking questions of Silva and Aguero were fit but on the bench. Then again I'll be asking questions if we're not out of sight on the hour and one or both is subbed because they're not fit.

Horses / courses.

Loser. Support the team. Come on City. Atmosphere building.

My expectation is Jovetic will replace Aguero after maybe 60 mins and MP regards that as a "like for like" that will keep our offensive thrust. Reasonable enough decision and certainly not justifying your extreme reaction.

Actually he is. He's an attacking midfielder. Best position in central of a 4-2-3-1. Can also play out wide of a front 3.

And if we are loosing at half time, I'm watching tommy cooper. Proper shit fan me.

 

[Chikago]

I imagine Jovetic will be an X factor off the bench if necessary, and will probably get in the game either way

If i'm not mistaken he has played a total of 54 minutes in March/April? Probably doesn't have match fitness and better to insert him later

Well he is right saying before is expecting the flaws but still clichy is good and we need to play him more on the other hand Jovetic is crucial to play we need this kind of attackers to be starting and sell DZEKO seriously.....and thats what I think

 

[andrewmswift]

why on earth is clichy starting ... ?
