Match Thread West Brom vs Everton. Mon, 28 Sep, 20:00 The Hawthorns, West Bromwich

[Shipped]

I sense a lot of negative predictions for this game, are people genuinely concerned that West Brom are as good as us??

I don't think anyone thinks WBA are a better team than us mate, more that they set up to stop teams playing and they're very good at it.
This is the sort of fixture last season where we'd dominate without ever really looking like finding a way through, then someone would clown up at the back gifting them one chance and they'd score it.
I believe we're better than that now and will find a way but still, an incredibly frustrating 0-0 wouldn't shock me.

Expecting a tough and fairly boring match tonight. Not too fussed I'm missing it for work.

3-0 Everton.

Uni student new to the city, what bars will be decent for watching this tonight and what time-ish would be good to get there for?

Not an easy place to go, but if we play like I know we can we have a good chance at taking all three points home with us

COYB!

Lisbon 7PM mate.
It's a retro day, so we're all going in the pink shirts from a few years back

Fingers crossed Big Vic is playing the holding midfield role again tonight.

Lisbon mate. It's where most on this site meet up for games.

Aye just the once in the Carling Cup last week. It was... an experience.

I actually have that shirt too, but I left it at home.... I will be in my Eto'o shirt which is falling apart, see you then!!

Thats amazing!

With or without such strange lineups, I think 0-0 is the safe bet this evening!

I think it will be Browning!

...interesting. If Stones is out I'd be surprised if he picks Browning before Mori but we'll see. You could be right if RM thinks Browning can better handle the Berahino threat.

I think Stones will play, but if he chooses Browning over Mori then question needs asking why we paid £9.5m for a centre half who is no better than another one of our reserves. Also I can't see him picking and choosing which centre half plays better against which forward.

....that's my reasoning too.
