    So, here we go again.

    Home game with the mighty Baggies, a real struggle on our hands here against stellar opposition so I expect us to keep it tonight and pass the living **** out of them.

    Guaranteed to win the possession and the passing but the goals will be tight, I say a one nil win.


    Interesting fact; West Brom have the highest stadium in England and it's always cold so it's a good job we're at home.

    Few years since we beat these at home. 0-1, 1-2 and of course 5-5 in pur last 3 meetings.

    Hoping for a similar story to Tuesday. WBA will come for a draw and hope to hit us on the break with Berihino.

    Would play Herrera over Carrick as WBA will likely be playing Fletcher, Herrera's legs could be key though hopefully his ribs aren't broke, hampered him v WBA last season.

    1-0, maybe 2-0 if we are feeling dangerous.

    Be happy to win by 1 but 3, just before the international break will change the whole look of the club and general feeling. A booster before the utterly pointless England play.

    The 5-5 was away.

    They are pretty good away from home. Won 3, drawn 1, lost 1. Scored 3, conceded 2.

    So it may not be a game of many goals.

    We'll thrash them 1-0 if we are lucky.

    80% possesssion, 2 attempts, one on target and (fingers crossed) 1 goal.

    We need a higher tempo and a more pressing game to go with all that possesssion !!

    If I catch the highlights I'll get to see all the shot on target, corner, free kick and if lucky the goal... without the dull stuff.

    I remember years ago feeling aggrieved that MOTD would reduce our highlights to less than 15 mins but now that would be a godsend. Maybe just the youtube clips it is then...

    Went with 3-0 on Super Six, slightly optimistic?

    Bookies are going 1/3 for a home win here. Probably the worst 1/3 shot I've seen this season.

    Gonna be a tough game for us, and if we do win I don't see it being all that impressive. 1-0 or 2-1 is probably best we'll do. :biggrin:

    Not at all. It could be anything. Lets just hope the football is entertaining and we see some free flowing, expansive one touch, defence splitting football.

    And if not, then he brings Herrera on at some point.

    Herrera should start every game!

    I do think LVG will get it right eventually, hopefully before his last 6 months!

    Good effort but you've not mastered joking just yet.

    A few more lessons from the Joker himself and you'll get there.

    He shouldn't. No player should have that luxury. Bad enough we have Rooney with his unstoppable status just now.

    Some pundit has predicted a 3-0 win for United. He can't have been watching any of their matches !

    Based on current performances he should be starting. Maybe he doesn't pass sideways enough!

    He's like Astro - prior to LVG dropping him, UIR had NEVER mentioned Herrera's supposed poor form. Apparently ONE scuff shot = poor form these days <laugh>

    I love the fact that playmakers and creative midfielders are now considered a "luxury" under LVG <laugh> Says it all.
