Personally I felt Murray had a poor game. It's possible Potter would put that down as a bad day at the office if Murray's been doing well in training and the friendlies. Alternatively yes, he could swap him for Andone, unless Andone hasn't been doing well in training and the friendlies (despite doing well on Saturday).

Watford played 2 up front Gray & Deeney. West Ham will probably only have 1 up front so a change in our formation wouldn't suprise me. Man City played a 4-3-3 with plenty of pace in their front 5 and West Ham were all over the place, a back 4 should be enough to keep them out...so
Ryan
Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo
Propper, Stephens, Gross
March, Murray, Trossard

Potter plays four at the back more often than not, and last season GP changed formation for the second game.

Glenn Murray should have scored four in the first game, missed two one on ones with Joe Hart.
I think West Ham should count themselves lucky that Izzy is injured!

If we do play a flat back four i can see Burn playing LB,after Saterday he cannot be dropped surely? Webster has played RB before and can replace Montoya,
The team does not pick it self anymore!!

I just had to rub my eyes and remind myself I'm not dreaming.
Tell me we would ever in my lifetime have an £80M team - let alone bench -, what seems like only yesterday, and I would have given you a slap for your utter ridiculousness.

4 of those front 6 have no pace though

Murray's record at the Amex is superb.
No point picking him for an away game and then not picking him at home.
IMO.
This other than I can't see Ali getting in ahead of Big Jurg.
After all he played a part in the opening goal and had a half decent shot on target (although I expected better from him in that position)
As with Saturday I'm probably more interested in the bench, because as before someone 'big' is going to miss out.

Absolutely, all of that could be the case, we only get to see them on the pitch, we really aren't in a position to judge other than that, Potter is and we have to rely on his judgement, rightly so too.
I love Glenn and hope i'm not being harsh on him but towards the end of last season it seemed like the tank was empty, he was often offside, and his touch was poor, he may have just been knackered playing on his own and isolated game after game, but either way the future is with Andone, Maupay and probably Locadia, Glenn still has his part to play, of course he does but in my opinion that part should be from the bench.
Andone at the moment would be my choice ahead of Maupay, but only just and mainly because i think he has waited long enough for a decent run in the starting role, but i wont be disappointed with either.

Bernardo in for March.
Pace is a concern though for our attack.
