‘Easiest decision in the world’ – Some West Brom fans discuss how Diangana fits in XI

Mon 17 February 2020 18:32, UK

West Brom may have drawn with Nottingham Forest on Saturday but it is fair to say that Slaven Bilic’s men have rediscovered their form.

Since the close of the January transfer window, Albion have won 10 points out of the 12 available and despite the draw at the weekend, the performances was pleasing for most of the 90 minutes.

While it is great to see this form, there is one issue that has arisen due to it and that is what is going to happen with Grady Diangana is back from injury?

As it stands, the on-loan West Ham winger is still weeks away from returning to full fitness but Bilic will surely find it hard to break up the Baggies’ in-form attack.

Callum Robinson’s arrival in January has proven to be a masterstroke so far with the 24-year-old scoring his first goal for the Black Country club against Forest at the weekend while also winning Sky Sports’ man of the match award.

Robinson is currently occupying Diangana’s regular role on the left-wing, so does Robinson get dropped when Diangana is back? Or does someone else suffer the axe to accommodate for the 21-year-old Hammer?

West Brom fans have been discussing this on Twitter, with the issue splitting opinion.

Here is a selection of their tweets:

There’s a real issue growing (a good one) how does Diangana get back in? Splitting the trio of Robinson Pereria and Krovinovic up seems harsh at present/Kanu form has been encouraging so it’s a sticky conundrum easiest one would be to drop Kanu for Robinson but still harsh #wba

Robinson doesn’t have the engine or physicality to do what HRK does

I can see Krov taking Sawyers place with Sawyers dropping to the bench, Pereira moving central, Robinson moving right and Diangana taking left wing. Plus Gibbs taking the left back role again.

Pereria is at his most dangerous when central but that does mean dropping krov who is laying his best football, Robinson had two good shots that were saved at 2-1, maybe try him upfront when Diangana fit but these are good headaches for the head coach to have
