*** Official Match Thread West Brom Away ***

[ayrshireblue]

We got booked more than west brom.

I swear to God.

While Evans gets a wee ticking off when on a yellow

Otamendi been poor today after looking solid recently. All round poor performance from the team today.

after being much closer to flawless recently if thats going to be his one mistake before not making one again for awhile im okay with that

[sheblue]

Great to get the 3 points without playing well.
Some really poor defending for the goals conceded.

[iwasthere2012]

Thought we we’re sloppy everywhere today.
We weren’t clinical and didn’t look bothered about it, like we just expected to win anyway.
Our game management and discipline at the end just summed it up for me.
We had the quality to win that game at a trot, but it must be said nobody looks sharp at the moment.

Concentration levels will need to vastly improve against Napoli.

[Mase]

Ahh Sterling gets a goal. Interesting. No doubt he’ll be on the bench for next match.

If he scores again cominng off the bench and we win what's to complain about!

Because Bernard isn’t fit to lace Sterling’s boots!

sterling is getting into the 'world class' bracket
wouldn't swap him for anyone

He’s unreal.

Strange game, we scored 3 and won yet I'm disappointed. Really wasteful going forward and a couple of crappy defensive errors. A 3-2 scoreline looks like it was a close game but it really wasn't, we should have put them to the sword.

Hopefully we rotate a bit for the Napoli game, a draw/loss there isn't the end of the world, but we need to be sharp for the Arsenal game next week!

[Swales4ever]

A decent solid professional win, irrespectively of the final scoreline.

Much easier than what expected before ko.
Pulis kept his cloggers' studs in check (apart the rag and only once) and the incompentent Jones didn't make any harm to the game.
few had expected a more confortable win, no addition to infirmry, before.

Not the most sparkling of the City games, but who cares? It's the overly competitive PL and You cant always win at the trot any game.
JOB DONE!

WELL DONE PEP AND THE ALL LADS!
[just bring in a smart ball-passing CB, the very first day of the january window, please!]

Damn you Pep. Winning games and breaking records.

He speaks with his mouth closed. Seriously impressive

[Swales4ever]

FFS!
10 Premier League games (nearly 1/3 of it):
9 fecklin WINS
1 referee driven draw

virtually (on GD) 6 points clear the Rag Scums!

what else is to be said???

I rather would like to see Cit put Napoli to the sword .

I don‘t have a problem with the game today, we were always on top with an eye on midweek .

[patrickblue]

All I can say is that McClean is a right cnut.
He was obviously brought on to kick as many of ours as possible.

Maybe because he watches his manager talk out of his arse, he wants to try it too

[City64]

Great 3 pts . Could and should have scored 4 or 5 though ! Jesus way off it again , Otamendi very very sloppy for their 2nd and also Ginger Kev never quite at his sublime best but worked and ran tirelessly . All said and done another good day at the office , the rags are shite ..........

It's all about us and yet another big week coming up . CTID

Another away game, another three points.

Disappointed to let WBA score twice and to not take more chances but you won't win 4/5-0 every time. Winning is what counts and we are really good at it at the moment

It does feel like some games now, we don’t crank it up s level unless we have to.
Today with the game being controlled we have a defensive brain fart at the death and all of a sudden we start doing stupid things. We don’t control the way we were controlling and start kicking it anywhere.

The last minute becomes panicky.

I hope Pep gives them whatever his version of a bollicking is.

Excellence is a habit. It’s not something you should switch on and off.
You can’t switch it on and off. It comes from repetition of always doing the right thing.
That’s the slightly disappointing thing of days like today. Picky I know. But these are the standards we are aiming for.

fixed for petty accuracy, mate.
although You might argue You have to have a brain in first place, to have a fart of it.
never entirelly convinced that's Otamendi case.

Just glad Carl wasn't in house. server could have imploded.

[South Stand Balti]

Bestest ever start ever to a prem league season ever- 28 points out of 30! Bestest ever.

take away 2 yellows for dissent and we had less, right?

all 3 of ours were deserved
