[Albion] Team for Bournemouth (h)

[Bozza]

The first of, hopefully, more than six swift Thursday/Sunday turnarounds where the depth of RDZ's squad is going to be tested.

Joel Veltman, please.

What is your chosen XI to send those plucky little bastards back home to Dorset pointless?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

lots of decisions to make.

as long as Milner and Igor are nowhere near it.

Mitoma would be out of the squad based on last night, too, if he didn’t have so much credit in the bank.

 

[pb21]

The 11 who started against Man Utd, maybe Bart in goal.

 

[Kosh]

Given the physicality (and aerial threat) of a certain Bournemouth striker, I’d like to see Bart between the sticks.

I’d also be playing Joel whenever he’s fit and able… I’d like to see Mo in CM too. Welbz to lead the line.

If Dunk is out, Webster needs to return.

big balls time - see Arsenal away last season

 

[BevBHA]

assuming Dunk is fit

Verbruggen
Veltman Van Hecke Dunk Pervis
Gilmour Gross
Adringa Pedro Fati
Welbeck

If Dunk is not fit I would play Lamptey and put Veltman at CB

March and Mitoma need to know last night was not good enough.

 

[WhingForPresident]

If Dunk isn't fit:

Bart

Lamptey
Veltman
Van Hecke
Perv

Gilmour
Gross
Lallana

March
Welbz
Adingra

What's the situation with Ferguson? Still feel like we haven't played our best starting eleven yet.

Welbeck

Agree with the team, but would regard March and Mitoma as being rotated rather than dropped.

 

[Bozza]

What's the situation with Ferguson? Still feel like we haven't played our best starting eleven yet.

Sounds like he was expected to play last night but he'd been ill in the afternoon so was sent home from the Amex.

So, all being well, he can feature on Sunday.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Verbruggen
Veltman - JPVH - Igor (assuming Dunk needs more rest) - Pervis
Gilmour - Gross
Lallana
March - Ferguson - Adingra

 

[BevBHA]

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Baleba to start getting some minutes. A strong defensive midfielder last night and we win comfortably imo.

 

[Giraffe]

Steele

Veltman - Van Hecke - Dunk - Pervis

Gilmore - Dahoud - Gross

March - Ferguson - Adringa

I'd give Mitoma a rest and use him off the bench if needed. Same with Pedro. Both looked knackered before being subbed.

60 mins potential sub on all of Welbeck, Mitoma and Pedro. I like having some big guns on the bench rather than starting. Seem to have a bigger impact once the other team has tired out.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Assuming Veltman and Dunk are fit to start:

------------------Bart
Veltman - Van Hecke - Dunk - Estupinan
-----------Gross - Dahoud
---March - Joao Pedro - Mitoma
----------------Welbeck

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The 11 who started against Man Utd, maybe Bart in goal.

And Fergy for Welbs if Fergy has recovered from his sniffles.

 

[Mancgull]

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Baleba to start getting some minutes. A strong defensive midfielder last night and we win comfortably imo.

Completely agree. I think he’ll get game time against Chelsea in the cup. We need to integrate him, so he’s ready for games like last night.

 

[Mancgull]

Ideal situation is to have players capable of influencing the game from the bench with 20/25 minutes to go. Therefore, starters yesterday such as JP, Fati and Mitoma to be on the bench. Start Ferguson if over illness, Andingra, maybe Welbeck.
Possibly give Gross a rest and start Dahoud.

 

[Red Squirrel]

 

[Badger Boy]

Verbruggen in goal, that's for damned sure. No place for March or Mitoma on the wings for me, both very poor last night.

Verbruggen
Lamptey Van Hecke Dunk Estupinan
Dahoud Gross
Adingra Joao Pedro Fati
Welbeck

Although I am reluctant to see Pedro and Fati start together for fear of them continuing to stand on each other's toes.

I don’t think we should underestimate Bournemouth…picking just Veltman seems you are taking them quite lightly
