Do Kev and Bobb start Saturday?

Sess and Tete - definite yes for me, one of Bobb/Kevin for Chukwueze - maybe(depending on Chukwueze's condition) , no Wilson - definitely not.

I'd also consider starting TC ahead of Iwobi.

Muniz, I agree should start on the bench. And considering the fact that Tarkowski is arguably the dirtiest cb in the league, depending on the result, I'd might not even put him on.

If Muniz & Bobb make the bench I'd be very happy

Silva doesn't like introducing new players quickly. He likes them to know the team, how we play and what his role is. He will be on the bench.

interested to know why not    Harry Wilson? I think Marco will definitely start him if he's fit.

I would definitely start Wilson, but now that I've read it again, I can see why it could cause confusion, as I haven't made it clear enough. I was commenting on the OP's changes to our last lineup, and I commented on his change that would mean no Wilson with "definitely not", i.e. I wanted to say that I definitely wouldn't do that, and thatbI definitely would start Wilson.

Sorry for the confusion, it's my fault.

Bassey the warrior

Why would Bobb jump to the front of the queue, that's not like Silva. He'll be pencilling in a first start for April.

Ideally we'd find a way to start both Chukwueze and Kevin, Chuk impresses me every game and Kevin is really gaining confidence and showing what he can do.

Ah, understood.  Thanks - i thought it was strange.

For me if sess starts then Kevin should because they have a great understanding. I would look to start Chuk wide right with Wilson inside him.

                    Leno
Tete Anderson Cuenca sess
                   Berge
Chuk Wilson Iwobi Kevin
                   Raul

Someone needs to tell Anderson to stop ball watching and keep an eye on the player he's supposed to be marking, several times this season we would not have concede if he had been tight on his man.

Would go with the same lineup

I went to the AMEX on Saturday to see Brighton v Everton and they were both appallingly bad in the first half.

Everton were time wasting from the off and lots of sideways and backwards stuff.

We will crush them.

As much as I'd  like to see us win. David Moyes's teams do tend to get the better of us. I think his record against us is something like 22 wins 6 draws and 13 losses.

Silva is also very patient with integrating players into the starting eleven. He always takes his time bringing them in, as he wants to work with them to fit the system before throwing into the deep end.

Quote from: KentFulham on February 04, 2026, 05:37:49 PMDoubt Bobb will play, Silva always does the usual several weeks routine about not being ready.

Chuck should start, too good to be benched, same for Sess, AR needs to make way as he had not earned the right to be number 1 LB
Except with Silva's recent positivity, maybe he will put Bobb on as a sub. Agree about Chuck. AR less sure about, he may just need game time to get back to where he can be.

Not for me. Start of games has typically got fewer opportunities for Kevin's skills based stuff and we often do not start very quickly. I am also not entirely sure we have yet worked out how to use him. Later on in games when our opposition get into routines and maybe start losing attention provides more opportunities.

As much as I love Cuenca I think we need to start Bassey for this match. It's going to be a very physical battle and there's no one more physical than Bassey in our team.

I think Kev just needs to be playing as many minutes to get used to the Prem so that he's fully up to speed next season, he can't do that sitting on the bench. But that might hinder our current season.

Yeah, also hoping for three points, but the lads need to be at their best to get a result.  Some forum members see this as easy win, and I just don't think anything in this league is easy, especially for FFC.  Glad it's a home game and fingers crossed the boys put in a shift!
