    I totally get that, but I do just wonder if Phillips was the right "style" of centre-back for the physical, balls-lumped-in methodology of West Ham - saying that, there's almost no combo I would be unhappy with.

    You're right, it's just a game like this might need that little bit of proven quality. That's what we bought him for.

    Bobby starts- mark my words we'll concede a goal from him losing the ball, i said it here first.
    One swallow does not a summer make, Jones has been rank average in his other games this season, Atalanta were wide open and a million miles off pressing our lads all night, easier game than any Premier League game we've played all season, easier than our first 2 Champions league games too

    Matip if fit has to play he is proven at the highest level.

    Phillips was very good last weekend but in a weird way Rhys is better suited for City looks abit better on the ball.

    Thiago WILL start if fit but if not Jones had a great game tonight he is ready for first team football for us.

    Provided no injuries or god forbid Covid that will be the team.

    Alisson
    TAA
    Matip
    Gomez
    Robbo
    Hendo
    Thiago
    Gini
    Salah
    Jota
    Mane

    People are now trying to make out that atalanta are a shit team after worrying about them, but the fact is with jota we was so much better????? mind baffles, we was away from home, they're a good side- don't take credit away from the team tonight we played the best we have all season because of firmino not starting IMO

    I'd rather thiago play if he's back ofc, but with Firmino we'll be to open in midfield too, jones was quite physical tonight was good to see.

    Atalanta are a dangerous team, but the supposed minnows we played last game made it a much harder game and pressed and closed us down exceptionally well, Atalanta were miles off us tonight, they never got close to any of our lads, not trying to detract from what was an excellent away performance, just being honest that the opposition played right into our hands, trying to fight fire with fire with far lesser quality and nothing resembling a good or organised press
