[Albion] Who is your Fab (attacking) Four to start against Luton?

[hans kraay fan club]

Left: Mitoma (then Adingra or Enciso)
Right: March (then Gross??)
CF: Joao Pedro (then Ferguson, then Undav)
10: Lallana (then Enciso, then Welbeck)

An embarrassment of riches. And obviously just about every one of them, bar Mitoma and Ferguson, can cover more than one of those positions.

Definitely short memories from some. March will start when fit, especially when RDZ has stated he wants him to score 20 goals.

Wasn’t that Mitoma?

Wasn’t that Mitoma?

Japanese reporter asked 'have you set Mitoma a target', RDZ replied '20 goals, and Solly March'.

That's right, he definitely says "15-20 goals, and the same for Solly March."

Sounds like we're in for some serious entertainment this season.

I could see Adingra getting a few natural finisher I dont think March will get anywhere 20 ten would be a great return for him he’s not a natural finisher more of a smash and hope.

 

[Oh_aye]

Absolutely now way solly and mitoma are getting bumped after last season because Adingra scored a couple in a friendly.

Ferguson

Mitoma lallana March

To start.

May well go to two up front depending on chasing / killing the game off factors.

 

[veuve]

Mitoma
Ferguson
Pedro
Solly.

 

[Husty]

I’d be really surprised if it isn’t welbeck march and mitoma + 1. The kids will be used as impact subs

 

[West Upper Seagull]

March, Mitoma, Pedro and Welbeck for me.

I do however feel that Mitoma needs to up his game to the levels we saw last season and can genuinely see Pedro playing on the left side of the attack instead of him if he doesn’t

 

[Van Cleef]

Quarts and pint pot's. .Anyone else pleased they changed to the 5 sub rule?
One things for sure we will have some serious talent sitting on the bench.

 

[portslade seagull]

March, Lallana, Adringa and Pedro fo me with Fergy and Mitoma coming on 2nd half.

 

[A1X]

Not much love for Deniz round these parts, our most reliable goal scorer in the last month of the 22/23 season

I know that progress is progress, and that changes always happen - but I would be very disappointed (looking at the various options suggested on this thread) if this is the start of Solly being gradually edged out, and Ferguson's progress being hindered through not playing often enough.
Yeh, I know, glass half full and all that, and no room for sentiment in football ...................... but - guess I'm sentimental then .........................

I was only thinking of selection for the Luton game and Adingra’s performance last night. No reflection at all on Solly who will likely and rightly play most games.

Have I missed an in joke where we are all spelling his name wrong accidentally on purpose? If so, I'll let it go, but if not, one more and I'm going to have a big tantrum. I even noticed it spellt wrong on the official site recently!

There, corrected my original post for you.

 

[Perkino]

We will play with many familiar faces for the season opener. March, Mitoma & Welbeck if fit will all start plus Lallana/Enciso there will be time for Adingra & Pedro to get minutes probably during the second half but neither likely to start especially considering how unknown Luton will be as a quantity

Unless we get a crazy amount of injuries, I think the days of Pascal Gross playing (regularly) in an attacking midfielder role are long gone.

After March, who else is there, that is actually effective out there? Mitoma and Adingra heavily favour the left..Enciso turns to shite when put out there, and Buonanotte is completely ineffective.

 

[Gabbiano]

Joao Pedro looks a hell of a player, and I've voted him to start. But it wouldnt surprise me if RdZ kept him on the bench until he has fully got to grips with his role in de Zerbiball.

A couple of times in the Brentford match he was clearly supposed to be dropping into midfield to open up passing opportunities and didnt do so, including a pass from Steele which went straight to a Brentford player as a result and led to a chance. It's not an issue at this stage, he just needs some more practice with the patterns of play expected of him.

 

[JOLovegrove]

Go for experience and what worked last season. Mitoma, Lallana and March behind Ferguson.

Don't want to try anything fancy in this game.
