[Albion] Team for Bournemouth (h)

[The Fits]

I'd give Mitoma and Gross the rests. Gross is likely mentally exhausted after an incredible few weeks for him and Mitoma does need to be managed. We can't play him every game, especially with Adingra looking so impressive. I thought Dahoud went under the radar last week but played very well. So Man U but Gilmour for Gross and March for Mitoma (with Adingra moving to the left). That gives us real options off the bench.

I too am resting Gross and Mitoma

Wow Webster has one bad game (ok really bad game) and no one picks him anymore. Crazy. He was class last season (when fit)

 

[junior]

Just because someone was poor last night, doesn't mean they are suddenly crap players. All players have random bad games now and again and dropping them isn't necessarily always the answer.

I actually think Mitoma should probably have a rest, but not because he was crap last night, simply because he could do with a rest regardless of last night's performance.

For me...

Verbruggen

Estupinan
Igor/Webster
Van Hecker
Veltman (Lamptey if JV not fit)

Adingra
Dahoud
Gilmour/Baleba if RDZ is feeling brave
Lallana
March

Buonanotte
Welbeck

Off the bench if needed...

Mitoma
Ferguson
Fati
Gross

Bart

Veltman

---------------- Verbruggen ----------------

March ------------- Pedro --------- Adingra
------------------- Welbeck -----------------

Potentially bring Lamptey in at RB, and move Veltman to CB instead of JPvH. If RDZ thinks Baleba is ready, wouldn't mind seeing him start, preferably instead of Dahoud. Hopefully Ferguson can get some game time. Although tempted to not start both March and Mitoma, don't think we'll do it with both. Can't see Fati starting given his injury problems coupled with the fact that he played 105 mins last night. This is on the assumption that Gross and Dunk won't be playing -- see RDZ press conference.

 

[Perkino]

A bit of rotation is to be expected. However if no Dunk then Gross will start and a few changes.

Verbruggen
Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan
Dahoud, Gilmour
March, Pedro, Adingra
Ferguson

 

[Munchkin]

Verbruggen
Veltman - Van Hecke - Dunk - Estupinian
Lallana - Gilmour - Dahoud
March - Ferguson - Mitoma

 

[Hovegull]

I’d still start Mitoma. Welbeck up front.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Hmmm it will be intersting to see who the gaffer goes for, with Dunk unlikely to be risked, and injury concerns regarding Gross and Milner, l would be tempted to start with the following . . .


Verbruggen
Lamptey - Van Hecke - Igor - Estupinian
Gilmour - Lallana
March - Ansu Fati - Adringra
Ferguson

Bench of Steele, Veltman, Webster, Dahood, Bounanotte, Joao Pedro, Welbeck.

It could be said that several of those players perhaps don't deserve to be included after their performances on Thursday night, but the likes of Igor and Ansu Fati aren't bad players, and will only get better by playing more minutes on the pitch. Mitoma has played a lot of football recently though, and perhaps he can stand down for today's game.

Estupinan and Gilmour to be rested at Chelsea.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Verbruggen
Veltman van Hecke Webster Estupinan
Dahoud Gilmour
Fati Joao Pedro Adingra
Welbeck

As others have said, time to rest a few - Solly, Gross, Mitoma for instance. Have them on the bench with Ferguson and Lamptey as potential impact subs. Give Baleba his debut at Chelsea on Wednesday.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Wow Webster has one bad game (ok really bad game) and no one picks him anymore. Crazy. He was class last season (when fit)

Including De Zerbi.
I was surprised that in Dunk's absence, Igor+ JPVH was deemed the best option.
Either Webster has gone down in RDZ's estimation a lot, or there are concerns about his fitness.

 

[Taybha]

Probably go with this line up, wether or not the manager takes my advice is up to him,but he'd be silly not to tweak his system to fit my team in on Sunday.

Bart
Veltman
Webster
Dunk
Estupinan
Gilmour
Buonanotte
Mitoma
Fati
Pedro
Ferguson

Have to agree with this, just hope it is a temporary concern with fitness. He is a good player

Adingra

Off the bench if needed...

Mitoma
Ferguson
Fati
Gross

That would be unique - a 4-5-2 formation.
