WBA v City - Live Thread

by blueboy Sat Oct 28, 2017 12:22 pm

First topic message reminder :

So...what's everyone hoping for in the United v Spurs game? A battering for the rags would be hilarious. A win for them, not so much. A draw would good, as long as we take advantage of that later this afternoon.

Will Sergio start and finally get his 178th goal?

Let's hope we can get back to some dazzling football. The last 2 games haven't been great...but we won both.

I can see WBA doing what Burnley and Wolves did. Sit with a 6-man defence, 3 in MF and a lone striker...and let us have the ball. That means we need to make sure we get width, drag them across the pitch and them have a quick change of direction, get in behind in the spaces and take our chances when they come.

Don't give them easy free kicks around our area....be disciplined when they have the ball, but break quickly using our pace against their slow CB's when we win it back.

Any streams...please post them on this thread.

aguero holding his head in his hands

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:28 pm

silva should be holding his

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:34 pm

chicarito score for the hammers

by blueboy Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:37 pm

Sorry...but Bernardo needs to pull his finger out when he gets the ball. twice now...in shooting positions from inside the box....makes a simple ball to slow everything down.

And I'm not just picking him out...Silva needs to get into this game a bit more so does Jesus.

should have been 2nd yellow for evans

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:42 pm

anyone else would have been carded there

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:42 pm

lazy play at the back. looked like delph

by Nijinsky Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:42 pm

Lazy passing from the back

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:44 pm

rugby tackle from ferdy

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:44 pm

and a poor one. lucky to avoid a card there

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:45 pm

hammers 2-0 ahead against palace now.

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:46 pm

bye bye palace? bye bye Woy?

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:49 pm

deserved lead, should have been more though. decent game. We've had the lion's share of possession but wba have put a lot in to the game. some 'hard' tackles, but that's to be expected.

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:50 pm

If Silva had scored with his header, this game would be over and we'd have a quite HT.

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:51 pm

reading that liverpool had a penalty saved

by blueboy Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:51 pm

Well...sloppy goal to give away. Complete control...but that brings it's own problems. Jesus has hardly been in the game. Silva neither.

Maybe more of an incentive to get Sergio on for Jesus.

At some point, they'll hopefully tire as they look knackered now...but we really should have created more chances for all that possession.

Sterling on for Bernardo will stretch the game and give KDB and Silva more space close to their goal.

hope no-one had salah in their FF team

by blueboy Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:52 pm

No, but I have Firmino

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:54 pm

I think Raheem will cause more problems than Bernardo but can't see Pep making the switch at HT

Swans beating ARSENAL 1-0

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:58 pm

scores going good for us so far today.

by blueboy Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:01 pm

Yeah, but we need to create a few more chances. We've dominated without creating loads of chances.

Apart from Silva's clear header...we've not worked Foster enough.

Can see Sergio and Sterling coming on fairly soon if it stays 2-1 for 15 mins.

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:03 pm

i'm not sure it's Pep's way to make early changes

by blueboy Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:03 pm

178 needed today...as it's becoming a bit of 'weight' with the press. Get it done today....keep strong at the back and create and take more chances.

Game started.

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:04 pm

fuck the press. i'm sure city aren't worried about it and neither will aguero

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:06 pm

chance for wba

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:09 pm

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:14 pm

i'd yank bernardo off. too slow and doing nothing

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:15 pm

arse ahead 2-1 now

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:18 pm

firmino for pool

by blueboy Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:18 pm

Garbage this....

Get Bernardo off and Sterling on.

Oh, and whilst you're at it...get Sergio on as well.

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:20 pm

tawt ref. wouldn't book evans and send him off in the first half and give jesus a booking for nothing

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:20 pm

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:21 pm

by blueboy Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:29 pm

Bad tackle by Ota....

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:30 pm

Jesus hasn't done much for me. Get Serge on

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:31 pm

In fact, he's not that good really.....

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:33 pm

Sane still making too many poor passes

by Nijinsky Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:33 pm

Very poor from jesus

by **Topdawg** Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:34 pm

by Nijinsky Sat Oct 28, 2017 4:35 pm

Poor attitude from the whole team
