[Albion] Who would you start upfront with Welbeck?

[FamilyGuy]

I'd start him with Alex Mac and Adam Lall off him.

This, absolutely this! Please.

 

[PoG]

Remember when everyone praised Andone being binned, especially those ITK. Good Times. Should never have been loaned out.

Players willing to take the risk and have a shot would drastically increase our goal tally, frankly I won't complain whoever they are

Very true, I just see Bissouma as a positive player; he rarely wants to use the negative pass and always tries to make things happen. We know he is probably one of our best tackler he would give their CB's a torrid time depending what the score is at the time.
He has quick feet and can draw penalties and he has the skill and strength this year to mix with those centre backs.
A reminder as if we need it of what Bissouma is capable of.

Connolly. A bit of pace in and around the big man for me. People are unfairly slating Connolly. He needs a run alongside a proper partner. Part of the problem our forwards have is not having had any chance to form a proper understanding.

 

[TugWilson]

I think it would be worth trying MacAllister alongside Welbeck . If he is given a less specific , more free roaming role it could pay dividends

 

[blue-shifted]

Potter will do what he always does and pick the best one or two strikers most likely to trouble to particular opponents we are facing.

Personally, I think as soon as they went down to ten men they were always going to sit deep and leave no space in the middle or in behind. From that moment forth, we needed ariel presence. It was never going to be Maupay or Connolly's game

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Maupay, he is going through a terrible dip in form at the moment, but he has been a good player in the past, and he will be again. All players, even great ones, go through poor spells every once in a while.

I am also hoping that Florian Andone will get another chance to claim a place in the side, once he is finally fit again.

 

[MattBackHome]

Obviously Maupay.

Swiss Andy off the bench.

Maupay plays well in hold up and passing from an advanced midfield position. In the box it all goes terribly wrong. But he has to be the best bet to help someone else score. If Connolly doesn't get the decision when he falls over (and he is 100% certain to fall over) then he has pace and nothing else (sorry)!
But frankly it is the disaster that it looked like it would be when we failed to sign a striker in the summer. Can Percy get a work permit in January?

isn't he a midfielder ...?? what about wellbeck with aj and maupay in behind , maybe rotating , with alzate , biss, propper and march ...dunk , white and webster at the back .....looks good on paper , just a matter of wether the combined 450k a week players can work out how to win a game .

 

[SimpKingpin]

Can't think of a better time to start Zeqiri in his correct position. If he can finish he's already better than the options we have.

Don't care how he's been in training.

Some players are sh1t in training and excellent on the big day, and vice versa.

Honestly I don't see any point to Maupay or Connolly. Maybe Trossard, but his form and body language have been awful.

Also interested to see what Mac Allister could do with Lallana and Welback. He can play quick one touch football...and not get in Welbeck's way.

Maupay and Connolly don't look interested at moment

If only we had that Dale the snail he would pile drive through the opposition's defence.

 

[Seasidesage]

I'm less than convinced Tau is the answer. I've not seen much of him tbh but the little I have plus his stats doesn't suggest he's the messiah.

 

[The Fits]

I'm less than convinced Tau is the answer. I've not seen much of him tbh but the little I have plus his stats doesn't suggest he's the messiah.

And what, he's gonna play instead of, say, Trossard? Trossard scored 22 goals the season we signed him. Tau has got 8 in 30, over 2 seasons. Hardly going to be an improvement.
We can't get a song out of Trossard, or a guy who scored 25 goals in Holland. Hardly instils any confidence.
Players come here and forget how to score.

Amazed we're bothering.
