The return of Chicharito

|

Hernandez3David Moyes could get a vital boost for the Chelsea match with the return of Javier Hernandez to the Irons squad.

The Evening Standard claims Chicharito is likely to make his long awaited return after sustaining a hamstring while on international duty.

After missing five weeks it now looks as though David Moyes will have him in the squad – probably on the bench – as he eases him back into the squad ahead of the game against the Blues.

It’a major boost for the goal shy Irons who have managed just 13 goals in 15 games as they have collapsed into the bottom three.

Hernandez has scored four goals since his £16m summer move from Bayer Leverkusen.

    He and antonio being fit and in the team are key to us surviving imho.

    Give us the option to play 5 in the middle (antonio wide right and breaking) to protect scores or go more aggressive with 2 up top when needing a goal, whilst still having a balance in the middle of the park.

    The pairing is more important than having Lanzini around imho, so far as to say that I’d rather have those 2 starting games than the little argentine.

    Agree Antonio back especially fully fit which he has been getting stick some are saying he thinlg he is better then he is blah blah.
    But didn’t have preseason has been rushed back since Swansea last season ended up w Surgery.
    And seen it in games running out of energy pulling his leg..
    Was great against Citeh not in natural position. Him & Chicarito Fully fit. Tho I wouldn’t start Chicharito make sure is fit start Sakho honestly.
    And like Lanzini but if is going to be played on left wing I don’t see the point he does have great technique but is better w another creator. But could play him at CM to set tempo & passes.
    .
    Daily mail reporting Hart will be dropped I just hope that is true
