Yaya Toure brace eases Manchester City past West Brom in convincing Premier
Whatever Pulis said at half-time roused West Brom, though, and there was immediately more goal to their game upon resumption.
But a new acquistion would not be able to join the Baggies as midfielder Serge Gnabry’s move from Arsenal was completed late according to BBC Sports. Pellegrini however confirmed that the trio is available for the opener.
On a positive note for City, controversial signing Raheem Sterling has proven he can score goals for the Citizens, and the young striker will be desperate to prove that he is worth every cent of his hefty price.
Perhaps with their manager’s words ringing in their ears after the interval, West Brom began the second half with a renewed sense of objective, pushing their more illustrious opponents back.
The Belgian skipper scored as City emphatically won 3-0 at West Brom in their opening game of the season. Fernando too hasn’t featured in the recent friendlies and City may feature a slightly unbalance midfield with Nasri or Silva playing a deeper role. I’m chalk and cheese from when I started but society has changed, compare what was going on then and what’s going on now. Wilfried Bony meanwhile played only 45 minutes in Germany.
This will be Raheem Sterling’s first league match since signing for City for a hefty £49 million from Liverpool and spectators will see just what he brings to the Manchester outfit. West Brom in turn has five wins in their last five matches.
West Brom finished 4th in a 22 team First Division back in 1980/1981.
The agreement encompasses all Premier League matches in seasons 2016/17 to 2021/22 and also includes exclusive rights for Spanish language coverage in the U.S. It’s free and compatible with devices running iOS 7.1 or later.
That criticism could still come again, because it’s not in games like this.
Things haven’t started off as well as hoped for last season’s top 6 teams.
Chester meanwhile will be asked to further strengthen a defence has kept 10 clean sheets in their 18 games under former Stoke and Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis.
It may not have been a slick performance, and there was more sideways passing than is usually welcomed by the Old Trafford faithful, but United looked a very sharp unit at times.
When players like Yaya Toure, who scored twice at the Hawthorns, and David Silva are on the kind of form they showed Monday night, the 2012 and 2014 champions are an astonishingly good side. The support the club gives me is important.
