Worried about Antonio tbh when there's no Mina.

 

[Tubey]

Why Iwobi?

I'll never understand it. Anyone but him, absolutely anyone.

 

[sageyefc]

Fed up of seeing iwobi shuffling about half arsed, Gordon should’ve kept his place. Big miss Mina not starting, could’ve done with his aggression against Antonio

 

[superkeeper]

Not surprised about Mina’s omission and given the early collection of injuries we’ve had already this season, don’t want to risk another to our best cb this season. Bit surprised by Iwobi over Gordon, but everywhere else was to be expected.

 

[bigjonny]

First competitive home game I’ve missed in about 15 years, off to watch The Dolphins instead, let’s hope I’ve got two wins to celebrate.

 

[Eggs]

…Coleman back is a big plus, adds more balance. Not surprised to see Mina missing,

I’d be a bit concerned of Antonio getting himself attached to Godfrey when a cross comes in. Soucek also a big aerial threat.

 

[messymascot]

Still two goalkeepers on the bench. Nice to see Tyrer is ahead of Lonergan in the pecking order. I think its right to put Mina on the bench with the proximity of the last match and the distance travelled.

 

[Mosh Pit]

Gordon really unfortunate to lose his place to Iwobi

I'd rather play Susan Boyle than Iwobi

 

[Saint Domingo]

The squad and our player availability is an absolute joke and an embarrassment. How on earth do West Ham have Lanzini Yarmolenko Vlasic Areola Diop Masuaku on their bench and we have complete and utter dross like Kenny and Davies, 2 keepers and a youth player. Complete joke, we’ll do well to beat these here and it’s all because our player fitness set up is the worst in the league and has been for ages.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

How on earth are Richarlison and Dom still injured? So frustrating. That bench is depressing too.

We’ll just about do enough to win.

 

[Cool_Blue]

Super Kev looking well

Hahahahaha what, am I supposed to think that is a good bench?

Transfer fee pressure I guess

 

[RomanReigns]

Sort of predictable line up with Mina having played for colombia 2 days ago and richarlison and dcl confirmed not ready for this game by Benitez on Friday. Only questionable call is probably replacing Gordon with iwobi

Thought Gordon had a good game against Utd and his energy and drive complimented gray and Townsend quite well not sure if brining in iwobi straight away was the right call but can only assume that Benitez is relying on the fact he has more experience than Gordon
