We are never able to guess team selection now no idea how they may line up. Just cant believe Burn should play anywhere but CB but surely hasnt been selected over Dutch international there. If he plays anywhere else sorry but many better players in squad. Never thought we would get to stage where somebody is selected because they are tall.
Lets have peoples thoughts on how we will line up.

Squad rotation is playing a big part here. Lets not forget, we play Arsenal in a little over 50 hours time.

Intriguing team.
If White is at RWB you wonder why Alzate doesn't get a chance there when that was where Potter started playing him...

GP has discussed this a few times I believe. I don’t think RB is necessarily his position. He likes to give youngsters a run out in FB to give them game experience in a position that has a little less responsibility.

However I do agree with your concern. As Alzate is a special talent, and I’m slightly confused why he’s not featuring that much.

So disappointed that Burn is starting... Useless, not even good in the air...

Completely disheartened before we have even kicked a ball today... Sick of Potter

Possibly long Covid sufferer but then why anywhere near the squad if not quite right. It’s a strange one.

Personally, I’m just going to take some positives from the performance and learn something :rolleyes:
Yes this. West Ham are a very good team who are tough to break down and I'm looking forward to seeing the lads really show some good application for some periods.

Frankly, I'm getting a bit tired of the lazy criticism of Potter's selection policy. He's been up all night picking the team for this one.

We are not good enough to play squad rotation! I hope my words come back to bite me, but I am totally baffled by this constant chopping and changing
