West Brom pre-match thread

[bluemoon98]

Kdb needs more match fitness so will play 60-70 minutes again

3-0 city.

Aguero x2 and kdb to score.

 

[deafmanstevo]

I think City will win 4 or 5 nil the feel good factor has come back

I think we need some fresh players against PSG, so we can rest the fullbacks & Silva.

Hmmm CL this year or next?
Pellegrini likes Bony
I would play Kelechi rest Aguero
Give KDB & Silva a half or so
Sub them for Nasri and Kolorov
Same back 4
Joey
Top 4 in the league is my priority
but where we stand in the CL we have to try to progress!
Two in a row now would be VERY nice.
Let's go Blues!

That's not a bad call. It's amazing the difference Nasri's availability makes as that team doesn't look much of a gamble at all. Of course, the front two would have to do the business.

I am ok with Nasri coming in as a starter for this one....but Aguero has to play IMO. We need the three points for CL qualification and that is paramount at this point in the season. If we get a quick lead, pull him at the half by all means but we have to take the points this weekend....more so than we need to get the to t semis. All of this from a purely club brand expansion perspective.

This, but swap Aguero for Kelechi

 

[Ezra]

Caballero
Zab
Demi
Mangala
Kolarov
Fernando
Delph
Navas
Nasri
Kelechi
Bony

That team should beat an already safe West Brom at home.

If all goes well it means we'll have a well rested Aguero, KDB, Silva, Dinho, Hart and possibly Yaya and Kompany for Tuesday. Have the big boys on the bench to bring on at HT or in the 2nd half if things aren't going well.

This^ But other way round. Would rather play 'big guns' first, then, hopefully, rest when safe!

 

[Chi-town blues]

Strongest and the fittest team. This is a must win game .
Worry about Tuesday when we get the job done after Saturday.

 

[vmsuhail]

Please let us win 2 games in a row for once.

 

[SkyBlueTX]

I'd seriously rather play a 4-6-0 than play Bony, for those calling for it. Whatever the issue is--it looks the the football equivalent of the putting yips--it has been apparent for a while that it won't be cured by season's end so Nacho from here on out for me. Save Aguero for PSG.

Hart
Zabba
Ota
Mangler
Kola
Fernando
Delph
Navas
KDB (for 60 minutes)
Nasri
Iheanacho

Strongest team possible - we HAVE to stay ahead of the rags.

This all day.

Taking 3 of them off with 10-30 mins to go is not resting them.

A win against WBA would put so much pressure on the rags that Spurs may get a rare victory against them - or failing that a drab 0-0 draw which is again favourable for us.
PLEEEEAAASE Manuel put the pressure on the rags and make sure we get maximum points.

 

[BillyShears]

Heavy rotation. Hart, Zaba, Ota, Manga, Kola, Nasri, Fernando, Delph, Navas, Kelechi, Bony.

 

[mosssideblue]

This all day.

And you wouldn't be too upset if we get knocked out on Tues because the players are knackered?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Heavy rotation. Hart, Zaba, Ota, Manga, Kola, Nasri, Fernando, Delph, Navas, Kelechi, Bony.

Sod off. You taking the piss?

Strongest 11 for me.

This. We can beat WBA, but we need to be smart and rest key players.

 

[BillyShears]

Strongest 11 for me.

3 games from the European cup final no I'm not taking the piss. That side should have enough to beat West Brom. And. You want to send the likes of Kun and Silva out against a Pulis side two days before such a big game?

Agreed. If we have such strength in depth as many keep trying to tell me, what's the issue with resting key players for Tues.

Yeah, get the game won and then get the big guns off.
