West Brom pre-match thread

[adr2.8i]

pick our best team, get the game won early, then rest a few and get the points. worry about Tuesday on Tuesday. Simples.

 

[Kompany is King]

Will we see any youngsters on the bench for today? Maybe one or both Garcias. I'd like to see at least one in the bench.

 

[jaiguruKun]

You think my logic is ***** but you copied my team. Nice one.

Did you forget the vest?! Anyone who seriously thinks United and West Ham winning would be good results for us and that we still have even the slightest chance of winning the league needs a frontal lobotomy.

The only good results for us, are City to keep winning.

For anyone going today, get down early and support the U18's for the 2:00pm KO:

Wish i'd have known earlier. Don't get our train till 13:50. :(

 

[Chippy_boy]

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

WE might have to. But does Manuel?

Big concern for me is this. I think he'll do anything he can to progress in the CL and if that means throwing 4th, then that's where his head will be at. But I agree with you, we MUST NOT let the CL take our eye off the importance of finishing 4th or better.

Throwing 4th ? Bit harsh. I expect that whatever Manuel decides, he will feel it can keep us in the hunt for 4th place
and progress in the CL. We will feel it's compromising us in someway, should any result not go our way.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Nasri & Yaya today then ?

 

[Dietonmonday]

What time do the players arrive at the ground I'm taking my niece to the game and she wants to watch them walk in ?

That would be 4 of the top 6 managers in the premiership...plus a good deal of City fans.

About 4 mate normally an hour and half before ko. Get there abit earlier so you can get to the front if you want and stand to the side of the entrance so the coach doesn't block your or hers view!

Think Pells prob today,is a catch 22 play our strongest team as top 4 is imperative.
Whilst thinking off the next leg(injuries that may happen)or players thinking about next wk game & not wanting to get injured..
Me i start both CB bring zabba/kor in,A garica delp nasri yaya. bony nacho..then have a very decent bench if needed

 

[kaz7]

It'll be 2nd half before we score as it'll be us attacking a bus.I don't mind which team just get the job done any which way please blueboys

 

[J_Bow]

Hate 5.30 kick offs. Hate that you can predict Pulis's team and style and be in for a shit game unless you get the breakthrough goal early.

Saying that excited for Nasri to start and link up with De Bruyne. I'd prefer it if we rested both Ferns for tuesday, maybe give Kelechi a run out.

 

[Credo]

Pellers is looking at CL.
He will rest anybody and everybody.

M. Garcia on the bench, replace Nasri after an hour...

 

[SWP's back]

If it wasn't United challenging us for 4th no-one would have a problem with us resting players and "risking" dropping points. Half our fan base (probably more) have a complex about United and are worried about their mates taking the piss down the pub if they do move above us in the league.

Caballero
Zab
Demichelis
Mangala
Kolarov
Fernando
Delph
Navas
Nasri
Kelechi
Bony

That side beats West Brom 9 times out of 10, and if today is the unlucky day it doesn't matter, Tuesday is more important.

What crap. Today is far more important.

You must be an accountant, I'm a fan so a Champions League quarter final means more.
