All Change at The Front!
The attacking formation which West Ham Fans have been calling for has been selected – finally – by Julen Lopetegui as Mikhail Antonio is dropped from the starting eleven. It is one of the Hammers stronger elevens and the forward part at least is the selection – me included- thousands seemingly have been calling for:
The Full Starting Eleven is:
Areola : Wan Bissaka; Mavropanos; Kilman; Emerson:Alvarez; Rodriguez; Paquetá: Summerville; Bowen; Kudus
Still no place for Jean Clair Todibo which I find puzzling after Mavropanos’ shaky displays of late. A much more attacking, mobile formation going forward is on offer with a full starting debut for Cyrencio Summerville on the left.
With Paqueta presumably operating in the middle behind the front three, this is an exciting front line and Jarrod Bowen takes over in the striker role which he worked so successfully last year. No doubt there’ll be a fair amount of interchanging amongst the front three.
A very strong bench as is now the norm, again no place for Luis Guilherme who didn’t feature in last night’s under 21 game so is getting absolutely no match time at present: That’s a conundrum for another day.
