And Fatawu probably didn't do enough with his chance in the first few games to justify an extended run. If we win, it justifies the selection. Lose to this pile of crap and he's under huge pressure. Yep, let's see how this team performs before having our habitual meltdown. A bit of a gamble to introduce El Khannouss now, but maybe he's impressed in training. I'd have stuck with Buonanotte and then try El K as a sub if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so would have loved to see Fatawu against him It would make more sense to have Fatawu attacking him straight away as Young is more likely to make a rash challenge on him. Ayew will just turn back and fall over to win a free kick that we will waste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to win today, don't let us down pragmatic steve Trouble is, Ricci was poor in pre season. If he's not showing more than that in training, then he's not the player we're all remembering.

Crying out for Fatawu running at him Fatawu against a tired Ashley Young I'm guessing is the plan. Much rather have him on from the start with Stephy on the opposite side, but Cooper for some reason is against that, and it seems he'd much rather play Ayew looking for free kicks. Dropping Skippy is a strange one as well, against Everton I'd drop Ndidi for him and allow Bilal to maraud forward and create something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I think the strangest thing about Ayew and Justin starting is that Ayew AND Justin are starting. Surely if you have a more defensive forward like Ayew, you can afford to have a more attacking FB, or vice versa. If you have a defensive FB like JJ, a more attacking threat like Fatawu makes sense. Having both defensive options start against Everton seems unnecessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazfox Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Ayew has been more effective than Fatawu so far this season. Anyone who can't see that has some serious unconscious bias going on 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cropwellfox Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Yep, shame we’ve not got Fatawu running at Young. Mykolenko was due to play, they’ve had a sickness bug going through the squad so Cooper may have expected Young to play on the right / not to start.

jayfox26 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) This is going to come down to Cooper and whether he can take the handbrake off and be brave. On paper our team is miles better than theirs, I genuinely wouldn't take any of their starting 11 in ours but we all know the game isn't played on paper, and Cooper needs to set us up to win and go for them from the off!
