Mhsc 1,109 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Deivid Washington straight onto the bench along with 2 GKs. Heh. I would have swapped Chilly for Palmer, Mudryk or even Maatsen but otherwise pretty much the lineup you would expect. I guess though to be fair to Poch he stuck by Sterling when most of us didn't want him to and then he hit some form so... Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundalf 806 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Sterling does well on the right side and Mudryk has been shit, so we have no other left winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,985 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I realize he didn’t have a preseason really, but does anyone else find it strange that Lavia still isn’t even fit for the bench yet? Did he arrive here significantly overweight or something? Caicedo also had basically no preseason and he was ready almost immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling's best football came on the left but its a moot point given he's in good form and can play on either side. Madueke has shown enough to start and i'll take a shit Mudryk over Chilwell who refuses to shoot against an open goal. Shit even Palmer is available. Baffling decision.

If we played him before the break, he would have been called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,109 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 It IS baffling if you play people based only on in-game form, but I guess there are two other considerations: he's our captain, and Poch is seeing him in training not just on match day. Like I said above, 99% of us also wanted Sterling sold or benched but Poch gave him the run of games and now he's found his form in the system. He could have scored in pretty much every game he's played so far I think and been not far off, honestly he might score a couple today and we'll all look dumb complaining about him being out there. Lets at least watch the first half before slamming Poch on this one, imo. Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine switching him to the left and he is shit there, all his confidence would be gone that he built after the 2 last games before the international break.
