Would you still include Ryan Sessegnon in the left wing position ?
If so, who are you leaving out to accommodate him ?
Robinson is a straight swap for Sess if he's fit.
Sess is our only player who knows where the goal is. As far as I am concer It would be madness to drop him. Either leave Jedi on the bench or play Sess LW and bench Iwobi.
id defo have Robinson back at LB as sess did get roasted numerous times. Id personally like to see kevin start on the left. bobb on the right. if kevins ineffective then hook him for sess.

So you want to bench Sess? I just don't get the thinking. Kevin has done nothing to justify a starting place, Sess on the other hand never lets us down.
100per cent agree
Sess gives his all and is far more physical than 9 other members of the team.Only Bassey outmuscles him.
He also knows where the goal is.
I like Robinson but his crossing has been woeful this season and he looks knackered but we know he has been good in the past.Can we just try playing Sess further up the pitch and forget about Kevin.

No - I think Robinson is stronger physically than Sess, much quicker and better in the air. Sess is obviously way better in attacking positions. As was discussed on the Fulhamish podcast recently - if you combined both of their (very different) attributes - you would have the best left back in the world!
Sess should play further up the pitch and I agree ahead of Kevin - but does he start ahead of Iwobi in the current formation?

For me Sess has to start. How can we keep benching our biggest goal threat? That doesn't make sense and could ultimately result in him seeking a transfer. If we fear Hull's massive attacking threat down their right then ok play Robinson at LB but then play Sess at LW. Kevin has shown no great attacking threat so I don't see that he's any great loss to our starting line up. And yes I would also start Sess ahead of Iwobi.

Sess scored three goals in the Prem last season and just the one to date. I'm a massive fan of him but I don't see how he can be described as our biggest goal threat. Defensively Robinson is our best LB so for me he starts. I suspect Arbeloa will go with Iwobi at LW. He's probably the safer option but I do believe Arbeloa really should play Kevin in his best position, rather than a RW sub.

How many goals do you think full backs should be scoring? The most goals a full back scored last season in the PL was 3. Whereas how many has Jedi scored? None. He's also made no assists. I understand fully a full back's first job should be to defend but in the modern game, they're also asked to overlap with the winger and possibly get a goal or assist or two.

I wasn't criticising Sess's numbers I was responding to a post in which Sess was described as our biggest goal threat which in itself is debatable. I believe there are other players in the squad that are more of a threat but unfortunately those players aren't taking their chances, which is one of the reasons we find ourselves bottom of the table.

If you think Hull's right side is so terrifying that we need Robinson's slightly greater defensive fills then fine. However Sess offers far more goal threat than Jedi who has zero goals or assists and we only win if we score.
I think AR has to start if fit. Sessegnon looked extremely vulnerable on defense, especially the first half of the Ipswich game. I would have no problem putting him in place of Iwobi to start the game, maybe Iwobi comes on later.
Problem with Iwobi and Bobb is that they always seem to stop half way running and cut back in and play it sideways!
We need direct running into the box to carry a threat.
I'd start Kevin and tell him to do just that.

To be a credible goal threat you have to take some of your chances. On that basis I can only see Sess or King as our biggest goal threat. Happy to agree that either is 1 and the other 2.
Robinson and sess on the left
Robinson at lb sess lm. I like sess played higher up the pitch and knows where the goal is AND can deliver a quality ball into the box, Robinson terrorises with pace.

Yes, I have advocated this for the last couple of seasons, seems a no brainer to me.
Robinson over Sess at the back anytime, you just have to look at the quality of player that Robinson can shut down, when Sess was turned inside out on a number of occassions last week by an Ipswich player.
Absolutely would not be opposed to them both playing on the left together though.
