West Ham Super Fans want to see Angelo Ogbonna partner Kurt Zouma

West Ham Super Fans have flocked to a post on the West Ham Zone Facebook page asking them who they would partner Kurt Zouma with today.
The 26-year-old is set to be thrown straight in against Southampton, and it seems as if our Super Fans want to see Angelo Ogbonna partner him [Football.London].
The 33-year-old has bags of experience and is arguably West Ham’s best centre-back, so it is no wonder that all the clamour is about Zouma and Ogbonna together.
Harsh on Dawson?
Craig Dawson has proved to be an excellent signing for the Irons, considering he cost so little.
He has scored some important goals as well; however, with him in the side, David Moyes’ team have conceded a lot of goals, so perhaps it is time for the former West Brom man to come out of the team.
Zouma has plenty of Premier League experience and scored five goals last season for Chelsea, so you would think he could replace Dawson’s goal threat.
Partnering Ogbonna and Zouma together does appear to be a no-brainer, and we agree with what our Super Fans are saying.
You could argue that it would be harsh to drop Dawson, but if the Irons are to improve and build on last season, they need to play their best defence, and we think Zouma and Ogbonna could form an excellent partnership.
All eyes are firmly waiting for that teamsheet.
