You think we have enough attacking qualities to score against west brom with that line up? Your having a laugh!

 

[JollyHappy]

Neither Vinicius or Bergwyn on the bench is a surprise and 3 defenders. Can't see Bale lasting 90 mins

Someone posted an earlier line up with Vinicius missing. With him added then it all makes sense.

 

[curlacious]

Always thought we were one elite CB away from being a ‘complete’ team with no obvious weaknesses, but if that’s our formation going forward we need a long term replacement for Sissoko. Thomas Partey-esque.

 

[Clark28]

Let's gooo!

Finally an Aussie friendly KO time too

 

[Shadydan]

Sissoko is pointless in these games. No space to get behind them and he doesn't have any guile.

Provides the best balance of our midfielders at the moment though next to Hobjberg, it probably won't be pretty but we'd most probably win, I'm sure Jose wants to guarantee the 3 points.

 

[defoes5]

ivanovic and perreira have covid

 

[$hoguN]

Would like see Gio in for Sissoko but I’m excited about that front 3!

 

[curlacious]

Karlan Grant is actually pretty good

 

[punkisback]

never been aurier's biggest fan but not sure what he's done to lose his place.

Injured.

No Winks surprises me.

Jose's worked out that Winks is more suited to Europe & Internationals than battling at WBA or Burnley. When plays in Europe though he has show that his passing is good enough to get him into any team Jose puts out & currently it isn't.

I’m looking forward to Jose working out Winks is more suited to not being in the squad at all

I'd say GLC gives us better balance, but maybe he's not fit enough.

 

[maltahotspur]

No Sanchez in the squad? Injured or completely out of favour now?

And....Winks!

 

[crokey]

I know SC generally disagrees, but I reckon Jose has Sissoko in his best 11. Even if that means Gio/Tanguy miss out

 

[Mornstar]

Injured.

Hes on the bench actually

 

[JimmyG2]

Well, it was half tongue in cheek and half accurate

Admin Wallah speak with forked tongue

 

[carpediem991]

But he can run and close opposition down and cover Doherty

Kind of sick we play one player in the heart of our midfield only because he can run and cover.

I know balance is important but still frustrating as hell.

I know, great isn't it. I love the energy he brings to the side + he's able to cover Doherty as he jogs back after a failed run/cross/pass up the pitch

 

[dondo]

never been aurier's biggest fan but not sure what he's done to lose his place.

He was injured the other night maybe he’s not completely recovered?

 

[Yiddo100]

Fully aware this could haunt me but that West Brom team is not good, have to be winning this
