1) Christopher Nkunku needs to start


The Frenchman scored just 7 minutes after being introduced as a substitute at the Vitality Stadium.

Nkunku’s lack of game time in the Premier League since being taken off before the hour mark against Manchester City on the opening day is rather puzzling.

He has been given just 22 minutes in total by Maresca in the three subsequent fixtures against Wolves, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.

Considering that Nkunku has scored in both of his starts in the Conference League, you do have to question why he isn’t being given more time in domestic competitions.
