WBA vs. Man City, 10/8, 8.00 pm, SS1

Darkglasses

Myhill, Chester, Dawson, Lescott, Brunt, Morrison, Gardner, Fletcher (c), McClean, Berahino, Lambert.

Hart, Sagna, Kompany (C), Mangala, Kolarov, Toure, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Sterling, Bony


As suspected Aguero misses the starting XI, Sterling makes his debut.

GreNoLi

2-1 WBA.

JPA

Bit of a cliché but City can lay down a marker tonight with none of the other challenging teams putting in convincing performances.

JPA

McLean on the wing, Sessegnon on the bench. Oh Tony.

callaway92

Fair nice to have weekday football back.

dreamers75

4-4 Berahino and Silva to score all of them.

Darkglasses

Bony can hardly contain his excitement.

Darkglasses

Even WBA are booing Sterling?

It's the Liverpool fans just like in Dublin

GreNoLi

A trickler that.

Sagna sporting a shaved head :eek:

citytillidie

Could that be any slower

JPA

Silva's goal

Darkglasses

I really think Myhill could have walked over and saved that.

Just a guess but the 2 on your fantasy team:P

Johner

City looking really good here, West Brom are defending too deep though.

Darkglasses

Frantic game this. I can barely keep up.

GreNoLi

Wonderful!

Darkglasses

Very good goal, hopefully WBA will try something now.

GreNoLi

McClean getting booed?

Utopia Parkway

Strangely anemic from a Pulis team at home. Especially first game of the season. You'd expect them to be blood and thunder and flying into tackles. They've basically let City play and pass the ball about.

City looking very slick.

Nice attacking football unlike the rest of the other top teams this weekend

Yeah it's funny alright. A lot of weaker teams defend against us the same way, sitting back very deep and playing very narrow and compact in front of the box. WBA aren't really closing down much though, too static.

Darkglasses

Yep, definitely booing McClean too. Stay classy WBA.

GreNoLi

Berahino did what Sterling should've.

The Backwards Man

Alan Parry the troll, that will go down well!

Sugarlumps

Crazy not playing Yacob, easily there best player.

Johner

Typical Sterling finish, really needs to improve that.

Knex*

Goes without saying, he should have buried that.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Good to see the commentators mention McClean is from Londonderry.

That'll put him in his place.

GreNoLi

Silva's great.

Harry Palmr

Robbie Savage having ago at Sterling for not being able to finish, esp at 49 million

Adamocovic

Need Lambert to save me in a head to head FF league. Need an assist or goal and I'll have won it...not looking likely though :P

Jelle1880

I had Toure in my fantasy team, took him out on thursday...

Talib Fiasco

I wouldn't sell Silva for any amount of money. Incredible.

JohnDaniels

City certainly looking much more up to speed that other teams. A fluency in attack that no other side has really shown this weekend.

Did you not see Leicester?

Sugarlumps

Dirty, garbage player.

GreNoLi

The cocaine sniffing sound effect when the llineups are shown is annoying.

Darkglasses

Would be great if Iheanacho could get a run today.

GreNoLi

Off the shoulder.

Podge2k7

Great header

Talib Fiasco

This is decent

GreNoLi

Silva hardly ever dives either.

Johner

Brilliant stuff from Silva.

Andersonisgod

City look to be in great shape. Pellegrini's tweaked formation this season, the new signings they've added and could yet add, along with a renewed sense of purpose makes them formidable contenders for the league this season and should allow them to make a stronger push in Europe.

Darkglasses

Deserved win, WBA completely toothless.

That_Guy

Solid performance but jesus, West Brom are bad. I'd fear for them this season. Yeah, City are a step above most teams in this league but they put up no fight or anything.

Obviously hard to judge anything after one week of games but West Brom are possibly the worst team I've seen all weekend.

Silva is a class act.

On an Irish site, more posts are generated by the likes of Liverpool and ManU as obviously more people were drawn by their success back in the 80s and 90s and picked them as their favourite club. That won't change quickly...but if Man City keep winning trophies, it will change.
