[Albion] Trossard vs Welbeck?

[brighton_tom]

Obviously Welbeck not being in the team was a forced decision, but going forward do we stick with Trossard up top? Im assuming for the next game at least we do. Will this be RDZ's preferred line up?

Interesting times ahead….as well as Trossard in fine form Mitoma was excellent, Enciso had a fantastic debut, March is undroppable at the moment and Welbeck has been instrumental in so much of our decent play.

I do remember last time we used Trossard up front he was great for a game or two. But once it was found out, we really struggled. I think the element of surprise is what makes it work, which we would lose if it became permanent.

Tough decisions to be made. Before yesterday my opinion had been although not scoring Welbeck had been so important to our good attacking play, and we had looked lost without him up top. But that was definitely not the case against Chelsea.

I think you sort of have to pick the same team again... Veltman and Welbeck will have to win their places back.

Helped by playing four up front at times

Depends on the opposition and formation.

The fun of having a dynamic head coach/manager.

Pervs surely has to start again - we was superb. There’s still the return of Lamptey to look forward to - as in a run of starts and I think he’ll be magic again. Veltman been great as has Welbs but they’ll have to wait I’d imagine…

Having LT as a ‘false 9’ in the team yesterday massively helped our attacking play IMO, particularly liked how much Trossard came deep for the ball along the ground into his feet, that was our out ball all day when they pressed us, makes it much more difficult for a team to press us when they have to cover wide and central areas

Welbeck offers something different but I’d stick with Trossard after that performance.

I was thinking about this during the game. The extra movement definitely helped. My summary is it will work well against a team that is not overly defensive. Trossard was able to utilise the space between the defenders and midfield. However a more compact team might nullify this.

I believe that the fact Welbeck wasn't mentioned at all pre-match could well have been deliberate and he was ill before yesterday. It looked like we had worked on it and Trotter had worked on a Welbeck pronged attack. I think that is why it worked so well and although I wouldn't expect to see it every week, it certainly gives us an option

And it was great to see Mitoma, Enciso and Sarmiento all contributing

Different flavoured jam.

Very different oponents, Wolves. While by no means thinking we can take liberties with 'resting' players, maybe it would be seen as an opportunity to start maybe just one new(ish) player - Gilmour, Sarmiento, Enciso maybe. Or a chance for Turns if we're playing a back four (Webby, Turns, Dunk and Estupinan) and Veltman is still out.

Can’t see how you change the starting XI for Wolves.

Everyone to a man was excellent.

 

[Springal]

agree - we’ve only won 1 game in 6. 2 games left before the World Cup so nows not the time for playing anything but our strongest XI

I think he looks much better left side of a 3

 

[A1X]

Rather worrying for Undav that he doesn’t even get a look in

This. Trossard had good support yesterday, Welbeck hasn’t always had that.

Zerbs tends to restart, so I agree with you. Little or no changes.

However, I also suspect he is one step ahead of the game, so who the f*** knows? It's a mystery. Which is how I like it.
