I'd play Vinnie, the other defenders are shit. I'd drop KdB before Yaya at the moment.
I'd guess Aguero probably always starts, but Sane, Raheeeeeem and Jesus have all looked decent recently.

[Mase]

Id play Kolarov.

[nottsblue]

Why no Aguero?

I suspect WW was working on the premise that Sergio was injured i.e. before Pep declared him fit in his presser yesterday.....

Or maybe the premise Sane has got three in his last three and Jesus looks good so keep the partnership going.

Fair point well made, so you'd rather he start Gabriel over Serg, i see the benefit of the partnership but i struggle leaving Sergio out when he is fit.

In an ideal world i guess we could start with the youngsters and hopefully be a couple up by early second half and then bring Sergio on to finish them off?

I honestly think there is a very good chance Aguero will leave in the summer and the two aforementioned players are likely to be part of a front three next season. The more playing time they get together this season, the better. Plus if Aguero is recovering from a knock then keeping him back for an extra game isn't a bad idea to give him an extra few days before Sundays game

You might be right about Aguero leaving NB; don't know why but for no logically compelling reason, it just seems a plausible possibility.

Moreover, I like the thought of a front three of Jesus, Sane and Sterling and I hope Pep gives them another chance tonight to see what they can do. They're all young and there will be times that such a combination might misfire and prove to be somewhat inconsistent but, to my mind, they're the future and the way to go - and there's loads of skill in abundance embodied in that trio.

I'd like to see Vinnie playing as well but I don't want him to suffer another injury through being overplayed and not phased back in more gradually.

One thing is certain though; if we're having problems here trying to decide what our best starting line-up will be for this game, what must be running through West Ham minds ??

[Hutch's Shoulder]

I've been working in London so I'm going along and hoping to see Jesus play. The Evening Standard features an interview with Snodgrass as replacement for Payet and another Wenger under pressure story.

[Slim]

Obviously we have to play Navas and Bravo, after that does it really matter?

[nottsblue]

Pre team selection I am pretty confident we will win

But are you confident?
