Normal service resumed...no Kamberi still! 

 

[STEPPS BOY 73,890]

Kamberi and Stewart mist be wondering why they can’t get a start over Ryan Kent..

Hopefully Buff can get a first half goal, so we can sub him at half time and get some minutes in Kamberis legs for next week

Kamberi should’ve started, Kent is off form starting to think we are just playing him because of his price tag.

What message does it send to the squad when a player keeps getting game time when he’s off form? 

[Blumhoilann 6,712]

Some believe that off form players must play their way into good form? For me Kent needs benched and maybe a few sub appearances to get his form back.

Agree with Kent.

If Kamberi starts and gets injured then Gerrard would get slated for him missing Wednesday. Morelos is still our best forward, he should play today, kamberi plays Wednesday.

Kent should be on the bench after recent games. But gerrard has history of just letting favourites play through bad form. 

We've looked a lot better in the last 2 games when it's been a front 3 of hagi, morelos and kamberi. 

[writingranger 1,413]

A win would be good. Kamberi and morelos on from the start.

Don’t get the Stewart stuff personally.

Don’t think he’s good enough or shown enough yet.

Can’t not play someone because you’re worried about injuries.

Well some of the squad have that already, tav and goldson and morelos for example, meanwhile katic or Edmundson move a blade of grass the wrong way and they get dropped lol

[bluenoz 30,829]

The manager playing it safe again. Why not go with the formation & team that played the last 25 minutes?

Horses for courses mate. Some players respond to being benched, some respond to the manager showing faith in them.

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Wouldn’t have started Morelos

Kamberi plays that 5 yards closer to Morelos and it allows them to link up, also he takes the full back in more and allows for the overlap. Granted that’s Halliday today but he should’ve started.

Can if he's our only available CF for our next game, whilst we have a better CF available for this game.

Fair. 

[teddybear1975 2,014]

Kamberi was never starting today. Need a striker for Braga away.

And Kent has?

i don’t think it’s doing Kent any good either playing him when he’s so out of form.

[born a blue nose 90,757]

People saying kamberi to start when alfredo is about to get a week off so will empty the tank, plus kamberi our only option for braga are nuts 

[Valance1690 3,826]

How Kent starts again is baffling

Not saying the guys on the bench are better than him but based on his form, they must be sitting thinking what's the point in trying at training etc if Kent is just going to get picked every week regardless
