Two reasons why KLL must start on Saturday

[Rugrat]

Time to play two wingers, David or Dobbie in an advanced midfield position, and a striker who can hold the ball up (Hoskins).

Why on earth would lualua start ahead of Buckley? Did you not see the forest game or any previous game to that? Buckley is dangerous!

I HATE having a striker on the wing! We will play 4-3-3 which means we need 2 wingers. That's lualua AND Buckley!!

If anything I'd drop CMS for Dobbie and see how that works out. Maybe Hoskins up to poyet.

We've all seen what having 2 pacey, tricky wingers can do! Bolasie and Zaha are dynamite! Buckley and lualua can be as good!

I think the vast majority would go with 2 wide men, one up top and one sitting just behind ... I'd go KLL, Buckley, Hoskins and Dobbie (or perm any 2 from 4 (CMS, WH, SD, AB) even) but just hope Gus trys something a bit more ambitious/adventurous soon

Play him in the legendary Peter Ward position against Watford.

As we can only play on one wing at a time and Will Buckley is not an out and out striker.

Think hes more of an impact player myself, but after he worked his socks off last night - he deserves a start.

Player who played well should start next game shocker. Brave call.

That ignores the peripheral issues. Who should make way for him, and the reasons why he justifies his place.

KLL is often guilty of overplaying and losing it needlessly, which I often guess is the reason he doesn't start.

However last nights performance showed a real maturity from him. He tracked back brilliantly. He knew when to lay it off simply, when to try and isolate a defender, when to look for a shooting opportunity.

The argument is, of course, 'Well look at the impact he made as a sub' as to why he should start on the bench again.

However, to play that well for the whole second half deserves a start in my opinion.

Was particularly nice to see him in that more central role which resulted in him having a lot more space than usual. He did more in 30 seconds than the entire team did for 36/37 mins last night!

KLL is a game changer. For this reason he needs to come on if it needs changing.

Why wait? Play the right game from the start.
