Konstantinos Mavropanos gives West Ham manager David Moyes a really big dilemma
The Greece international quite simply has to start against Liverpool at Anfield in my opinion.
He might not be as quick as Aguerd, but he is a far more solid centre-back, and we will need that against Liverpool’s scary front-line.

I just have far more confidence in the former Stuttgart ace’s ability to avoid making mistakes than I do in Aguerd.
Moyes has to make a big decision this weekend. I’m not saying that Aguerd should be banished from the starting XI for the remainder of the season, but some time out of the first-team could actually do him the world of good.
And in my opinion, Konstantinos Mavropanos has to start for West Ham against Liverpool on Sunday.
