Its that time of the weekend again. Lots of praises and plaudits galore for the team ever since their midweek execution job of Napoli . And yes, Much as every accolade is richly deserved not only for that display but their all round form, its important to note that its not yet time to rest on our oars. No! We have yet to accomplish anything still. Its early days and form as we know can disappear and appear like Wayne Rooney's hairline. Nonetheless it was a thoroughly enjoyable game against Napoli and you have to fancy us in that form to pretty much destroy any other team in our path (Yes, including you Bayern Munich). Such was the efficiency, cohesion and killer instinct. I can hear our title rivals quaking in their boots, none of them want to meet us now. Which is why it is crucial we keep the Tempo and wins coming so as to maintain this ''Devastating'' form that will literally crush all the other teams challenging us for honors..
Its going to be a rather brief preview today, We have met The baggies already in the season and the result was a win. However cynics have made the distinction that it was only the league cup. The line-ups of both sides will definitely see different faces to the ones that squared up to each other less than a fortnight ago. Since then, West Brom have recorded perhaps one of the shocks of the season thus far by beating the champions United on their own turf the ''Theater of Dreams (or Nightmares if you like)''. Highlights of that game showed the Baggies may have done nothing other than just simply taken their chances when they presented themselves. Fine finishes they were too. Its ample warning for us to ensure we do not allow them a sniff of any of such chances to hurt us. Bearing in mind they now boast players who can do damage like our old Boy Anelka and Anichebe. They'll be feeling confident of-course, who wouldn't be? (although on the other hand, beating this Moyes-led United may be offering misplaced Confidence).
However, as the Boss would always say before a game, if we focus on our performance and deliver another disciplined and assured team performance they will stand no chance. Our away record is frighteningly good, we are in high spirits and definitely would like to go off on the international break on the back of another win. The only injury report is Bacary Sagna who pulled his hamstring and would not play. How big a blow it is time will tell. The boss calls him a ''Complete defender'' and few will argue, but Jenkinson has a chance to show us why he can be trusted in Bacs absence.
Rosicky is back in the team, and that's a plus. He dictates the pace and allows us to press better, so i'm happy to welcome him back. It all sets us up for a great game, fingers crossed we come through like we have managed to day in the other games. Come on you gooners!
