Saw some of the game tonight and Martial missed two really good chances.

The only reason not to start Cavani on Saturday would be the travelling.

Start martial, bring in Cavani if it’s not working. He may be old but there’s still class there’

We need to get at West Brom from the start next Saturday regardless of who plays.

Too many times post SAF have we dropped points in these games due to being too lethargic.

West Brom are awful. I know we struggle against the shiiiitter sides but whoever we put out, we should beat them by a couple. West Brom and Fulham are immune to even our shortcomings

I'd be inclined to agree. They're not good enough to be in the PL and we should and probably will comfortably bear them

I wouldn’t be so sure. We should be going out with the mentality of winning the game in the 1st 20-30 mins.

If Ole starts Dan James in that game I give up.

I don't think Dan James serves a purpose in any game tbh. Just runs down blind allies, making the absolute minimum of his pace

Agreed but this is the last type of game you would play him.

If Rashford isn’t ready then play VDB & Bruno and let them interchange or else play a diamond.

I’d definitely start Greenwood as he’s the most likely to score with limited space.

Wouldn’t be against playing Mata either.

I was actually impressed by Martial getting those striker’s chances, to be honest. He doesn’t usually get many of them.

James left. Mata right, you know it will happen

Missed chances he should have scored but it was by no means a shīt show.

I’m fine with Mata in a game like this but please no James.

I will really question Ole if that happens.

We tried to buy Jimenez this past transfer window so perhaps the club realise a proper #9 is needed

Hmmm I think Raul was reading the tabloids. Could be true but I’m not sure. Maybe we asked the question butvdoubt we would paid anything like the asking price.

Judging by how late our business was, I imagine we made a few desperate enquiries in the closing days of the window. Like you say, there was nothing overly concrete anyway

The rumours linking us to Jimenez were early in the window tbf.

I wouldn’t be against starting Cavani if he is fit and doing it in training. He’s had a lot more experience leading the line against closed shops than Martial.

For the first time this season we’ll probably need all of our most experienced lock-pickers ready for deployment.

Cavani isn’t match fit and we don’t play to his strengths.

Bizarre article.

I’d rather not disrupt the patterns we’re trying to build up with our current attack.

Saying that, it’s hardly been inspiring, so maybe a switch-up is needed.

I was more than gutted Cavani was the best we could come up with. But he is something different. Not my first pick, or tenth, but let’s see.

Robb, I actually feel for you here.
