    * all wrong wi the bloke who came off at HT, Forrest is a pretty big blow though, now it's Burkes chance to play his preferred position

    Is unusual to sub a right back at HT though, especially when we have no real centre-halves and he could have been moved there if someone got injured.

    Although you could tell we needed an Izaguirre style player on the right to get forward and open the game up for Forrest as he looked our best threat in the 1st half but he was never getting on the ball as Izaguirre was conducting the game down the left and Lustig barely crossed the halfway line probably * himself that Kennedy from them would have the beating of him.

    What is our first 11 then ?

    Boyata wouldn't be in it for me.

    Edouard and Griffiths are unlikely to both be in it I would have thought ?

    Who misses out in midfield if Ntcham, Rogic and Christie all play in it ?

    Is Christie listed as part of the 8? No

    Boyata is easily a first team player.

    Starting in midfield I would have
    Mcgregor Ntcham
    Rogic

    Edouard out left and Griffiths up top

    Bain

    Toljan
    Boyata
    Benkovic
    Tierney

    Ntcham
    Mcgregor
    Rogic

    Forrest RW
    Edouard LW

    Griffiths

    I would say our best team is

    Bain
    Toljan Boyata Benkovic Tierney
    Brown McGregor
    Forrest Rogic Burke
    Edouard
    And our other main players are Lustig, Ajer, Ntcham, Christie, Weah, Sinclair and Griffiths. The other players are pretty much just back-up yet currently we might have to see a few of them like Jozo, Bitton, Izaguirre, Johnston in the actual team.

    Thank * we brought the attacking options in January in with Weah, Burke and Bayo.

    We would have been having some serious issues now if not just hope nothing happens to the new signings.

    In defence Ajer, Boyata and Benkovic now not available. Can’t believe we didn’t strengthen the defence more.

    No that's why I quoted the post where you were discussing Christie rather than the OP.

    Right so this is just your first 11. In that case 4 of our first 11 are injured.

    There is a definite case for Griffiths being the best striker at the club and for Eddy's best position being off the left. Opinions.

    Aye, I think we's see Edouard at his best though with Rogic and Burke and also Toljan playing means we can attack down both sides better. Sinclair plays too slow for Edouard and Rogic hasn't played much with him this season and Lustig knocks the team off balance since he only has 1 good attacking game about every 10 games the rest he just sits back and leaves it all to Tierney/Izaguire.

    Forrest and Burke both like to run at people at pace, cut inside and play one twos and Edouard likes to play like that as well, Sinclair slows everything down and is useless for Edouard.

    Rogic and Boyata are first 11 picks. Hence the manager picks them every time they are fit and available. Rogic is our best creative player.

    The other two are debatable but are potentially first 11 picks.

    If this is your logic for picking Boyata then how do you explain not picking Sinclair in your 11 ?

    I would have Christie before Rogic in my 11 at the minute.

    6 of our first XI are injured.

    Benkovic, Boyata, Tierney, Rogic, Eddy and Forrest.

    Griff and Ntcham aren’t first XI players.

    Very unfortunate, every player has stepped up to the challenge though so it’s not all bad news Fortunate to have a great squad of players. Another clean sheet on the books too.

    Sinclair has been dropped for large periods and would be on the bench if every single player was fit, he was not a regular starter for the first few months of this season.

    Rogic is a better player than Christie.

    As I said, at least 6 first team players injured, possibly 8. You are way off with 4. Look at the other first 11 posted in this thread. 6 of those listed are in it.
