[Albion] Lallana plays v Forest - RDZ

[Dibdab]

I thought Mac was ok compared to Gross and Trossard who were both appalling.

 

[Miximate]

Would like to see Gilmour given some decent minutes.

 

[Swansman]

RDZ unlike Hughton or Potter quite relaxed about giving out some team selection plans at pre match press conferences .
Adam to start v Forest - at expense of Gross I assume.

My guess is at the expense of Pervis.

Sanchez
Veltman, Webster, Dunk, March
Caicedo, MacAllister
Gross, Lallana, Trossard
Welbeck

...maybe.

 

[Oscar]

Gem of a quote from RDZ: "I don't like movie, only football."

 

[matski_98]

With City on Saturday I wonder if he might switch things round a little to give some players a bit of a break

 

[beorhthelm]

Everyone seems to assume Gross will miss out. It could be Mac,he had a shocker Friday by his standards. It could be both!!

trouble with Gross, when he's bad he exposes a lot of weaknesses. not had many off days for a while fortunatly. if we want to restore confidence the obvious sacrifice to make.

I think Lamptey may come in with us playing a 3 with him and March as wing backs and Groß dropping to the bench

We haven't played well recently but starting with ten players may be a bit of an extreme reaction.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

If the question is - ‘how are we going to score more goals?’

Adam Lallana’s March-like finishing is not the answer.

It's a funny old game.

Did you see Maupay's display for Everon at the weekend. He literally had no touches (that I saw).

See you tomorrow

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

With Lallana's inclusion could we see a change in formation.. maybe playing a 4-2-3-1.

As I posted once, about 15 years ago, I favour 4, 4, 3.

I'm sure it would be allowed.

 

[Bodian]

Feel a bit sorry for Gross - he'd just hit a purple patch under Potter.

 

[Falmerfourtickets]

Maybe Steele

In that case, play the best eleven (unless there's fitness issues) tomorrow and rest some blokes against City, IMO... There's a good chance to win one of these games and there's very, very limited chances of winning the other, so I'd say go all in for the first one.

I think it interesting that at the start of the season he seemed to be playing further forward, hence getting into better shooting positions. Last few games, he's hasn't really got into a dangerous area at all.

 

[Jeremiah]

Knowing Lallana is starting doesn't fill me with enthusiasm. Will he finish the first half ?

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Quite. The biggest disappointment from the 3 RDZ games so far

They’ve already had quite a long break

 

[Machiavelli]

Good to give Gross a rest I suppose, but I'm not convinced we'll see any more than the usual pretty patterns that Lallana offers. Not convinced they particularly help the team though.

I didn't listen closely to the press conference, but didn't hear RDZ saying that Lallana was coming in for Gross. I heard the Lallana bit, but not the Gross bit -- or was that stated when I wasn't listening?

 

[The Fits]

Gross can shoot at least.

 

[Milano]

Gross sums up Albion really, I think he plays better the better the oppo, because he needs space, he struggles against teams that deny him any space and just look to block us, essentially sums up the team.
