    Picked Bitton over Jozo as he can be a bombscare and quite rash at times leading to being sent off etc.

    Think that’s what I’d go for as well. In a back 2 Jozo everytime though, which is odd.

    Could quite easily be Elhamed instead of Bitton and Simunovic..

    Wouldn't surprise me if Elhamed has been brought in with this in mind, to play right side of a back 3 with Ajer in the middle and Julien on the left, I think Julien's left footed anyway, if not swap him and Ajer.

    Bitton.

    In a 3 hes a better option there than Jozo due to his distribution for me. But as said above Elhamed probably suits it down to the ground with his recovery pace.

    I prefer Bitton, better in the air, better on the ball, not likely to have a blunder or do any mad tackling.

    Jozo, when the games get tougher (as they will) a proper centre half will be needed over a sweeper.

    Bitton should be nowhere near a back 3 he’s not strong enough, don’t think it suits Jozo either he is easily exposed in a back 4 never mind 3.
