Benrahma hope for Fulham clash

Benrahma waits anxiously for his debut

David Moyes has dropped a big hint that we may well see more of Said Benrahma against Fulham this evening.

There are no givens with the manager when it comes to team selection keeping virtually everything regarding the matter a big secret.

His answers to such questions are full of ‘maybes’  but talking to reporters he expanded on his thoughts  giving hope to those those keen to see the former Brentford start.

In discussing him this time he dropped in the phrase “when we are ready” but in general terms his comment was very positive in the 25 year old’s direction

Speaking to reporters the manager said: “He’s certainly got himself in better condition over the last couple of weeks.

He hadn’t played many games. One of the games he did play was against Fulham in the Carabao Cup. He was lacking… maybe a little bit out of condition from what I’ve seen.

But now he’s in much better condition, he’s looking better, he’s settling in well, and I think when we’re ready I’d have no fears about putting him in.”
