Sadly if Man City play anything like they can we will get beat comfortably, but that doesnt mean we should wave the white flag or put out a weakened team.
There have been signs this season they are not quite firing on all cyclinders, if i was an Albion player these are the sort of games i would want to be involved in, test yourselves against the best.
As for tonight, i dont know how things are with Gibbs, i think it was last month Bilic hinted he needed to up his efforts in training and the last two games we have played a right winger at left wing back so i am assuming he isnt flavour of the month.
If that is the case i would play Diangana as left wing back, get him back in the team, he showed last season he can defend and with Furlong the other side, it means we can at least give them something to think about going forward.
Thats what we have to do, anyone goes there and just sits behind the ball and accepts defeat gets one, of course City will have all the ball but we still need to have something going forward and give the defenders a breather.
I would also have Livermore in for Sawyers, Livermore will sit and try and break play up and add a bit of bite and i know some dont like it but he is the best we have for that job available, Krovinovic and Gallagher are both hard working midfielders so they will do there bit box to box (hopefully!)
I would play Phillips upfront where has played for Scotland, again he has pace, he has strength and if on form can give them something to think about. I would play Robinson behind him, he also works hard, can create a chance or goal but make sure he knows he will be helping the centre midfield a lot too.
