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.
We need a strong replacement for Partey/Jorginho/El-Neny next season assuming we part ways with them, all three or even two. Jorginho is old, Elneny not good enough and Partey is just unreliable.
Get me Youssouf Fofana or Amadou Onana next summer if the veterans leave. Any one of the two would improve our squad.
