Said Benrahma is a must for the game against Bournemouth tonight at the London Stadium.
With Lucas Paqueta injured the attacking midfielder is the creative player desperately required behind the attackers in a game which we seriously need to win.
Currently in 17th place, defeat would be nothing less than a disaster and Benny has been in the sort of form to ensure that he can have a big say in collecting us three points.
Over the last few games he has been showing the sort of consistent threat we have been crying out for and fair play to the manager foe giving him his chances.
He is well overdue a Premier League goal after scoring a couple in Europe and tonight’s game looks the type of confrontation which is made for him.
The Claret and Hugh team: Fabianski; Coufal, Kehrer (if Dawson unavailable), Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek, Benrahma, Fornals, Bowen, Antonio.
Benrahma is Algerian isn’t he?
He must start tonight and not be whipped off if he makes a mistake. If Paqueta is fit Benrahma still starts. Fans are calling for Soucek to be dropped. It has to gspoem tonight with Fornals in beside Rice. Fornals is the only player we have who can thread a ball at pace between the lines. Unfortunately Moyes just refuses to see it.
Let’s hope de doesn’t do his usual trick of giving the ball away in dangerous areas!
Just saw team such a disappointment selection. We are basically playing 3 defensive midfielders at home to Bournemouth, Bournemouth yes. Lose tonight and there will be no hiding place to save you from the wrath of the fans. No more excuses from you, you are simply not good enough to love us forward you are stuck in the dark ages.
