    Hopefully we are coming towards the end of the dreaded ‘Trossard should play as the 9, I don’t want to see Eddie starting again’ take that is ubiquitous on here

      I’d rather Trossard play 9 vs West Ham. Keep Eddie fresh for the Newcastle game.

      Admittedly I also want Reiss to start a game so I’m a little biased but with Jesus out, either Havertz or Trossard are the backup striker, one of them should start vs West Ham in that position.

      Nope, some games just don’t suit Eddie as much. Don’t understand why us battering a team that has already copped an 8-0 this season suddenly changes that.

      While I don’t mind Trossard playing as the 9 if the gameplan demanded it, I think you’re being naive if you think the ‘Please god, not Eddie’ takes are going anywhere. They’ll shift to, ‘Well, I never said he isn’t decent. He just isn’t good enough if we want a title. We need Toney [insert whatever the next flavour of the moment is]’ and then when Eddie (or just the team in general) have an average game they’ll be back out in force.
