Noelie 103 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 With Shelvey, Lascelles, & Mutu apparently available, it could provide Rafa with a serious selection problem against West Ham. Ki and Schar have been playing well, Perez not that good, will Rafa make changes or start his last selection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Replace Perez with Shelvey, give him a more prominent role. Diame and Ki and have been doing well together in the middle, Shelvey more advanced could be very dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelvey is no where near a good enough runner or dribbler to do anything of use in Perezs position. I know Perez isn't brilliant but Shelvey is at his best picking up the ball from deep and launching attacks when he has the space to do so, he'd be terrible in the tighter confines of a 10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Has he ever been used in that role before? I agree it would sort of negate his raking long balls being so high up the pitch and he isn’t at his best when he’s pressed but he has got vision to play those slide rule balls. 10 is our weakest attacking position and at the moment Ki and Diame deserve to be starting at CM. I’ve been banging on about it for years but I’d like to see Ritchie given a go there and someone with more pace like Atsu or Murphy out wide in his place Edited December 1, 2018 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d like to see a similar team to last few weeks , with shelvey benched Edited December 1, 2018 by zerosum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20151 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I hope Rafa rewards the lads who have got us 3 wins on the bounce with starts. Lascelles is deffo first choice but Scahr and Fernandez have been great and I think they deserve to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

247 597 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Aye Kenedy is the only other real fit for a #10 but imo he’s much better used as he is on the wing, Perez isn’t perfect in fact the cunt infuriates me regularly but we just don’t have the options to drop him.

Howay 12496 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Aye, that’s an odd decision. I thought Ritchie had a class game at full back. It’s likely because he doesn’t want to play that formation but Manquillo is a total waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we’ve had to toil with him in the side year after year is it too much to ask for some improvement on him Another good chance headed right at the keeper there by him as well.

Howmanheyman 33232 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 We've done ok but fuck me, some suicidal passes and Perez couldn't finish his breakfast when he's got some time to think about it. They'll finish one of these chances we're giving them, not as confident we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToony 41 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Perez is a good goalscorer. It looks like West Ham are leaving him open just for fun now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
