[Albion] What’s going on with Jose?

[fleet]

We take off AJ (which was a good decision and could have been much earlier!) and do we bring in the winger on the bench when we need to attack? No - a full back who we play in attack. Jose must be so off form, so why have him on the bench?

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

My theory based on no evidence whatsoever, is that CH is pissed off with him not stepping up to take a penalty against Millwall, and punishing him accordingly.

This may be completely untrue

 

[banjo]

Jose.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Carrying an injury and requiring a knee operation in the summer according to someone apparently ITK on the match thread.

 

[martin tyler]

Biggest loss all season

 

[father_and_son]

Maybe he's the only one with Bluetooth speakers for the dressing room/coach so has to be in the squad so they have music to listen to?!

 

[Driver8]

Why waste a subs place on him then? I’d rather we had kept Connolly and put him on the bench.

Correct - This is completely untrue

 

[Bod]

Why doesn’t he have the op now then?

 

[Icy Gull]

Carrying an injury and requiring a knee operation in the summer according to someone apparently ITK on the match thread.

I saw that and he got the player replacements for tonight spot on, but given how we don’t pick injured players how did he make the bench?

It's not the first time he's got the starting XI spot on too. He did pose the same question in regards to the Izquierdo information from his sauce.

 

[Mike Small]

He's our best and most dangerous winger by a mile.

 

[London Irish]

He’s are only player with real pace. We are so slow as an attacking unit

 

[BensGrandad]

It is possible that they think that he will be ok for 15=20 mins but not to start a game.

If that was the case why didn’t they put him on against So’ton when we needed a spark ?better off having a fit & hungry Gyokeres on the bench then

You wouldnt say that if you had seen him play as he is a country mile from being ready at the moment. Mind you he is still very young so has time on his side, so dont write him off

Gyokeres is no where near good enough. He has had chances and done ok but is a mile off the required level

to scare Sarri into thinking we've got a plan b

 

[Nobby]

Locadia has done ok in the little game time he has had lately. Great goal v Millwall and excellent cameo v Southampton. He was also our best player in the Derby cup game.
If I was him I’d be mightily pissed off that I was only getting into the matchday squad when we have an injury.
With CH thinking that AJ and Jose are better options.
All very strange
