Pepe Mel wants his Baggies to be brave
Pepe Mel today urged Albion to be brave as he headed for Manchester City looking for a second successive victory over Manuel Pellegrini.
But the Baggies boss will settle for a 1-0 win at the Etihad Stadium tonight instead of the 3-0 victory he tasted last time he met the City manager.
Mel's Real Betis side defeated Pellegrini's Malaga 3-0 in February 2013 in their last meeting before the Chilean moved to City.
But Mel knows any victory tonight would be a major achievement and he is urging his players to show courage on the ball after they fell back against Tottenham in their last game, throwing away a 3-0 lead before eventually drawing 3-3.
"This is something we have talked about this week – not changing our style of play or mentality and believing in ourselves," said Mel.
