[Albion] Van Hecke or Webster?

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Tough one. Both have good bantz, but Webster seems like he can take a joke well too. This for a dream dinner party lineup?

Van Hecke or Webster?

Neither looks all that great to be honest. Wouldn't take a lot to bring in an upgrade on either. IMHO, like

 

[Pavilionaire]

Luton's only strength is their physicality. Surely you go with Webster to match up against that, plus he's good in the air at both ends.

 

[WATFORD zero]

If we are being conservative, Webster, If we are going for it JPVH. I'm not sure where Igor fits as he looks very Brazilian going forward. Unfortunately he also looks a bit Brazilian when defending. I'm quite relaxed about it as it's RDZ's responsibility and he will get the praise/blame/whatever

 

[WhingForPresident]

JPvH deserves a run in the team IMO.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Either both or neither. I'm feeling saucy!

Well if we’re talking physicality you’d surely go Dunk and Igor?

Between JPVH and Webster, I’d lean towards JP, but only marginally because I think he’s the better passer.

 

[The Fits]

Webster is much better than JPVH currently. Bizarre to think differently. Flavoured I guess by the Man City (one) game.

 

[brighton_tom]

Webster, for now.

Putting in a bloke who is barely off the plane is a risk, especially with us playing out from the back, so no to Igor starting. His time will come though.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Van Hecke.

Webster is a liability

[Seasider78]

Webster if can get run of games without injury then Igor as backup and think JPVH will be used in domestic cups to get more experience

 

[Mancgull]

I thought JPVH looked really good for the second half on Sunday. Seemed really confident. Maybe it was our £10’s of million valuation to Ajax that boosted his confidence.
If it was, then great.
Thought Webster looked shaky first half. Could have a slight knock.
Thankfully I’m not the manager.

Also thought Dahoud looked off the pace whereas he looked good in the US.
Could just be an issue of the intensity of training and then a game straight after. Maybe why Roberto has given them a day or two off, so they are really ready to go on Saturday.

If it was down to me I’d go JP.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Thought Webster looked shaky first half.

At least he was still on the pitch.

 

[GT49er]

Van Hecke - but only because I get the feeling (based on nothing at all, TBH) that he isn't a de Zerbi type player. Van Hecke could, I think, ultimately be Dunk's long term replacement - he'll need to be patient for that though.
Wonder if we might go three at the back, as we did when Ben White was here - Van Hecke-Dunk-Igor might work. Probably unlikely to happen though.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Webster, easily.

 

[Stat Brother]

For the first chunk of the season I do predict enough minor errors and maybe the odd big gaffe, from whoever plays, to validate the opposite opinion.

Couldnt have described it any better. Bravo

 

[portslade seagull]

Van Hecke for me

 

[edna krabappel]

Everyone assuming that Dunk (one game since May) will be fit (and match ready)?
