    It''ll be interesting to see what Lukaku does if he scores tomorrow, after his none celebration against Bournemouth, and the important part WBA played in his development I can only presume he'll sit down and cry....

    I know I'm being a dick, but Lukaku's celebtrations piss me off.

    From the way he celebrated against Everton and was shushing his old fans, to the hands held wide thinking he's the greatest (or Ibra), to the lack of celebration when he scored against Bournemouth.

    Still, his celebrations are better than Griezmann's I guess!

    Anyway, enough talk about celebrations, I'm going for a relitively comfortable win for us here - 0-2 United. Lukaku and Mata with the goals. Must keep and eye on Rondon though, he can cause us problems.

    Also, I'd be interested to see if him and Rojo will have problems again.

    celebrations! who gives a toss how they celebrate.
    So long as they score , they can do what they want or not.

    Wondering this myself?
    Think it's because Phil Neville suggested Lukaku didn't celebrate against Bournemouth because of the hangover of disappointment from the City game. Think it's fair to say that based on the way we looked. Hoping for a big response today the lads, courtesy of Pardew!
     
    Watched a bit of West Brom against Scousers the other night and they were very decent

    tough game today but they will have a go at us, leaving a bit of space behind
     
    I hate playing teams fighting relegation. They will have a right go at us today so we better be super focused!
    It definitely won't be easy.
     
    No Herrera please, even better rest Lukaku.
     
    Hoping Zlatan will get some minutes. I could see smalling getting a rest if Jones and Rojo are fit
     
    I wish a 3-4-1-2 but it will be a 4-2-3-1. I'd like to see Shaw and McTominay start again after their recent performance. Happily take a 0-1 win. Just enough to keep the points coming and see where it takes us because for me the league is over.
     
    West Brom haven't won in 15 games. Their last win came against Burnley back in August. No doubt they will be raise their game when United are in town. It's become normal with these mid table sides.

    Mostly because we allow them to be fair

    It's the sort of win that would reinvigorate them so they will be at it. Anything other than our best and we lose this.
     
    They’ll be the usual mid table, game raising cnuts.....we’ve got so much incentive at the moment though that we’ll surely take our frustrations out on them.....
     
    I hope for a big game from Lukaku. I have a feeling he can turn the form around very soon. Yes I know he has been a bit shit, but he is quality and I hope playing against one of his former clubs can give him a boost.

    He has scored a hattrick in a West Brom-Man United fixture before. Let's see him doing that for us now instead ;) (yeah hopefully not an own goal hattrick ;)).

    Apparently he was getting some criticism from the crowd that day too. Hope he scores a hat trick today and gets back on a run.

    Hope he can start in the league cup. Given that he have not started any games yet I don't think he will play much today. We need the best team today and good fitness.

    Yeah I don't understand everyone jumping on Lukaku suddenly. Hope he have a big game today. Want to see some good football from our attackers today.
     
    Not feeling good with this one, they will raise the occasion pretty much, looks like a draw for me.
     
    Id give McTominay and Shaw another game. Herrera is so out of form at the moment anyway.

    Perhaps Fellaini will be ready for this game.

    Not a fan of the oaf, but I'll take anything over seeing Herrera and Matic in a midfield two.

    Wouldn't bother myself. If Fellaini isn't going to renew I'd rather giv McTominay his minutes.

    No idea, thought he was in contention for the City game, but that might have just been mindgames on Jose' part, considering he wasn't even on the bench.
     
    This does have the air of 'one of those games' where the opposition look bang average but we look even more lethargic and somehow don't even test their GK. Expecting an even more boring game than the Bournemouth game....but I'll try to be optimistic and say we'll still scrape a 0-1 win, late goal.

    I hear you. I just want to enjoy every game from now till the end of the season. I'm hoping for a very good performance
     
    Have a Huddersfield feeling about this game where we have no energy and fight in us.
     
    Sadly I agree with the bad feeling about this game. City's display yesterday will also be pretty demoralising.

    Horrible game to be without Pogba.
     
    Nice to see so much optimism here on BlueCafe. One would say we are some no name club, fighting relegation. :rolleyes:
    :nono:
    We will win this one comfortaby. 0-3
     
    It would be nice today to reaffirm that we can still actually string a few passes together.
     
    We are talking West Brom , the same West Brom who are second bottom, with no wins in their last 5 games.
    Just wanted to check, because I thought we were playing a world class side from the doom and gloom on here.
