DISCUSS: Callum Wilson is NOT a starter for West Ham even despite his late goal vs Everton 👀

Good for coming off the bench. I Doubt it he could manage 90, mins. 20mins the most. He could be more useful with that amount of game time

Due to his injuries, I think he is a brilliant second half substitute, I would always bring him on at half time after the two clowns have run there legs off.

Haha imagine Pablo's energy with Wilson's finishing. A genuine £50m striker there

Wilson is a hugely experienced dependable striker perfect for the big impact in the last ten to twenty minutes. Many less experienced forwards would have lashed at that chance but he kept his head and played it spot on. If he can keep doing that for another five seasons we’re laughing 😜

Wilson is worth more than 10 - 15 minutes at the conclusion of a game. He should be given at least 30 minutes during the second half as he brings know how and experience.

100%! I don’t blame Nuno for not starting him but why not bring him on sooner? He’s a bigger goal threat than Taty or Pablo ⚽️

spot on

Wilson is only good for 45 mins he doesn’t close down defenders to stop counterattacks! I would play him when we need a result as he’s a poacher in the box and that’s where you need to leave him! Our midfield needs reinforcements at least two one combative midfielder and one playmaker who bursts forward into the opposition box.

Yeah, if you think of those goals against Everton and Spurs alone, he's been worth his weight in gold. Not someone you'd start but what an option to have on the bench! Still one of the best finishers in the league

Wilson is not a starter at 34 years old, but he has a habit of making an impact on 60 minutes or so I think most of us groaned when we signed him and maybe he was a Sullivan signing, but no one can deny he's scored some very important goals for us
ray.baxterct19516mo ago
I must admit, I thought it was worth a try signing Wilson at the time.He has a good track record, and good experience, age is only an issue if your expected to chase down opponents.He is a fox in the box, my only issue is, he faces the wrong way sometimes at crosses and stands too close.His position for the goal was perfection,I loved it.
stevesorrell516mo ago
I would of loved to see Wilson on at half time with Bowen backing him up and Traore on the wing. The so called two strikers we have do seem to run around like headless chickens for most of the game so the switch at half time may have been a better option

I'm sorry, I have to agree with you Steve however, 30 mins may have been enough..How many of us are thinking the same way and does Paco have any say in choice of subs and tactics?

I feel strongly about this. Love Wilson, he's great - but starting him at this stage of his career is not the way to go. Super sub if ever I've seen one. 3/4 years ago, it's a different story.

He is a good guy to have on the bench
