DCJonah Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 How has Onomah kept his place? Surely time for Jack to get his chance again. Lansbury in makes sense and nice to have an attacker on the bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish will be chomping at the bit Edited December 9, 2017 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful last week, Lansbury had a much better impact, so can understand it. Grealish should be in over Onomah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 As I suspected, in the summer when Grealish got injured - the first thing Bruce said was that he was building the team around him and its a massive blow to his plans. I thought at the time it was a load of **** and Bruce was just getting his excuses in early (seeing as he used him sparingly last season). Now that hes got him fully fit, he'd rather play an underpeforming loanee from spurs. *This is not a dig at Onomah, as he's had some good games - but clearly out of form right now.

I think he is saving grealish for derby. Grealish will get his chance in next few weeks. I am actually gald we have options now as grealish would always play even when he was shit. Now he has to do an adomah and take his opportunity when giving. I think this is exactly what Grealish needs and i think we will save a lot better from.him now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted December 9, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 9, 2017 Are we all certain that Grealish is 100% fit and ready to start matches? He didn't break a toe or anything - he had surgery for kidney damage... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair for him to start today though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself, I don't expect Landsbury to start many times, but we'll see. Fair for him to start today though! Yes it really depends. Lansbury tends to be someone who will disappear for a few matches and then really turn it on one game. What he did against Leeds however was that he came on and really took the game by the scruff of the neck, something Hourihane has failed to do over the last few matches. Hourihane of late has at best been 'neat and tidy', we need someone with a bit more drive and cutting edge right now, hopefully Lansbury can do that and do it consistently. I fancy Lansbury to score another today, I think he will be raring to go and will surely be up for Millwall, given he's a Londoner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we have to win almost every game, we can hardly keep someone like that on the starting line-up though, which is my concern. But, he must have got confidence from his goal, so at best he gets on a bit of a run here. Fingers crossed. Edit: is it "Yes, he is" or "Yes, he does"? Help!

Vive_La_Villa Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Would like to see Grealish start but not really gonna cry about it as long as we keep winning. Onomah seems to rotate between shocker and stormer. Expect a big display today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Decent line up. I'm okay with Onomah starting as I don't think Jack warrants a starting place. Onomah offers more than Grealish with the way we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
