[Albion] The "Locadia must start because he cost a zillion pounds" merchants

As I said BEFORE the game today, they should BOTH be starting. That said, Gross, although poor in the first half, was great in the second. Putting Locadia in from the start is currently asking a lot TBF. However, CH went for the safe option and you can hardly argue with our brilliant result.

In short, the OP is asking the wrong question again.

Following the fantastic performance against West Ham those 11 players deserved to start.

I would've taken a few players off on 70 mins after we had scored our 2nd goal, Locaida for Murray seemed the most obvious change

If I purchased an Aston Martin I would not keep it in the garage in case it got dirty.

I've got a man who keeps my Aston Martin in showroom condition.

Locadia is not a striker according to my man at PSV
Not sure if this is a joke that over my head, or if you've got a PSV supporting friend who says he doesn't play as a striker, or that he's not suited to it?

He is a STH there and says although he has played there on occasions it’s not really his position.
How strange, because he talked as if he's a striker when interviewed, and from the one game I've seen of him he plays as though he's a striker.

I think your friend is only half right.

Jürgen Locadia

I've played most of the time as a striker but also the last three seasons (at PSV Eindhoven) as a left-winger. The last year has gone pretty well. I scored a lot of goals from the left-wing.

What's with all this goalscoring. Given we all know CH is far too defensive it us obvious that Locadia is not starting because he's not as good as others at defending corners, defending from the front or winning free kicks when we clear the ball to the halfway line.

Also he fails to slow the game down by being offside.

Once he has improved in these areas he has a better chance to start.

The lad can score.Simple as that. A great addition to the squad as is Izzy, who looks better and betterer and bettererer each time I see him play. We have attacking options in abundance...So so so good!

I love it!

I’m amazed anyone thought Murray would be dropped given the way he’s been playing since Locadia and Ulloa arrived. Bizarre.

Did Hughton get it right by starting one of the Premier League in-form strikers ahead of a bloke who has been out for 2 months, having only had a run-out against a mid-table League Two side?

I'm sure Locadia's time as our first choice striker will come sooner or later but whilst Murray is in such imperious form he starts, and the fact that Locadia is our record signing is absolutely irrelevant.

Who said locadia should start ? Everyone knows he’s coming back from injury and adjusting. Ulloa over Murray , possibly, but still likely, because as you say Murray is on form .

Lots of criticism on Twitter when the team was announced.
