Seen differing opinions on a feel position in particular just wondered who most would like to see in the 11?
Arrons or Tav At RB
For me it's Aaron's all day looked far better in his first game for us in his natural position, looked a lot hungrier than the Tav jog for me. His passing in particular to Antman was very good, And defensively he was sound.
Rothwell or Nico in the 6
For me Raskin all day. Play our best player where he wants to play he's looked uncomfy at times further up the park. Rothwell performance last night for me personally wasn't great had some nice moments but overall not as mobile not as aggressive not as good in the tackle as Nico, Maybe worth trying him in the 8.
Dessers or Danilo
Dessers keeps his spot but I'm a big fan of Danilo until he finds consistency he has to sit out.
Jefte or another?
Jester for me if he keeps progressing he'll be a real asset needs polishing but it's not a lack of effort.
Note: Djiga is top notch ? ?.

I didn't think there was much difference between Tav and Aarons to be honest but that won't have universal agreement. Aarons sat more as a RB but was caught in possession a couple of times and as someone else said was berated by Djiga a couple of times as well for not tracking. However he isn't Tav so gets away with it.
Rothwell has the jersey and does what is expected of him; patrols that area in front of back two and recycles the ball. got forward to good effect at times as well. An unfussy, unflustered player and I thought he had a good game. Is Raskin better well he needs to show it this season and win the jersey back. the MF 3 last night linked well and I wouldn't change it just to get one player in.
Dessers shows what he is able to do if he gets support beside him and isn't isolated. he can't bring players into the game supposedly but the lay off for our first was top class. Again if he wants the jersey Danilo needs to prove he is better.
Jefte was very good last night but is our only LB so we need to get someone to compete for that place. that will make him improve or he loses his place. is he 1st choice, well yes until someone takes the jersey from him
Djiga and Souttar were both excellent last night and what is expected from now on. we need someone who can come in if either does drop form granted but manager has done well on identiying targets s he can make that decision.

Aarons, all day, every day over Tav.
You seen the difference when Tav came on - he looked uncomfortable on the ball in tight spaces compared to the rest of the defence.
Raskin is the better option but Joe Pirlo is an excellent back up.
Dessers for me. He was brilliant last night. But as I said earlier, I felt sorry for Danilo not starting with the 2 flying wingers.
I'm happy with Jefte on last nights performance with Fraser as back up.
It's actually great to have competition for places in key areas. Can only benefit the team long term.
Being greedy, I'd like another quality CH. Possibly sell Igamane if his head has been turned and sign another decent striker.

If everyone was fully fit and available -
Butland
Jefte
Nsiala
Djiga
Aarons
Thelo
Raskin
Cameron
Gassama
Moore
Antman.

How do uou find consistency if you're not playing. Dessers all day for me. His cute oass for the first goal was great and very good game.

Aaron's
Toss up so far between Raskin and rothwell, both may be needed at times.
Dessers and Jefte…. no one else close.
Igamane maybe if staying
Question is if we qual for CL would club sell Igamane or hold for the season?
06 Aug 2025 11:25:15
Aaron's Nico Dessers Jefte ?.

Ehl who's the number 9 in your team and nsiala won't get in ahead of soutter.
06 Aug 2025 12:29:35
Ehl Moore through the middle? I must admit not seen much of him at all but I am intrigued as to how and where he will play for us.
06 Aug 2025 12:57:10
Aarons is the man in possession at right back, Raskin is much better than Rothwell and Dessers gives us more up front than Danilo .
Interesting suggestion by EHL a 17 year old winger at centre forward?
06 Aug 2025 13:09:03
OWS, I doubt we'll ever see Nsiala play for us again - but the question was who would we like to see in the 11.
Moore would start as the 9, however front 3 would be interchangeable.
