    Can't find another thread for this so started a new one...

    If we stick with 3-5-2 and can keep a fully fit squad (very optimistic!), this would be my starting 11 for the rest of the season:

    I think Brown has to be in there. He just gives us a bit of balance in that midfield. Feel like we will always need a proper battling ball winner in the middle of the park, hoping Soro is going to be like that too.

    Christie and McGregor don’t mind doing some dirty work and putting tackles in. But they should be left free to push forward.

    We don’t have a strongest team, so many quality players it’s completely dependant on form.

    Rogic Christie and Ntcham should all be starting with their talents but instead scrap over one position

    We played pretty much like this the other day

    Forster
    Welsh -----Jullien----- Ajer
    Brown
    -----------------------McGregor
    Forrest-------Ntcham-----------------------
    -------------------------
    Edouard---------Taylor
    Griffiths​

    I'd like to see this

    Forster
    Elhamed ---Jullien-------- Ajer
    Brown
    -----------------------McGregor
    Frimpong----------Christie-----------------------
    -----------------
    Rogic--------Forrest----
    Edouard
    Not ideal Forrest on the left but Christie can make runs out there and Forrest can come inside nearer the middle even at times going up front as Edouard isn't the best at leading the line and tends to come deep, him and Griffiths work well in that now when Edouard comes deep the defenders remain occupied with Griffiths keeping them back but i'd like to see Rogic playing instead of Griffiths to see how that works. In this kind of 3-5-2 set up Rogic can be carried easier as theres 3 at the back 2 wide guys and then 3 centre-mid to do his running and tracking back, keeping him reserved for attacking.

    Frimpong will be suited to being left wide open in space on the right and us congesting the left more.

    Elhamed will offer better balance to the team as well since he can get up to the half way line and use the ball more going forward. The current version of the 3-5-2 with Jozo and Welsh playing there means we keep using the left as Jozo and Welsh unlike Ajer don't take a ball forward and are less likely to pass it forward which left us always going to Jullien then Jullien giving it to Ajer so most moves were coming down the left.

    Even that but with Griffiths instead of Rogic and then when Elyououssi is back he will also suit the left role were Forrest is and Forrest and him can rotate with Frimpong. Same way Griffiths could rotate with Rogic and Ntcham can come into Christies position and Christie could move into Rogic.

    Suits everyone except Forrest.

    Depends on the formation we play. Any variation of these are very strong, and depending on who starts it also gives us good options off the bench.

    Depends on the opposition and who’s in form.

    Wouldn’t say we have a cemented strongest XI.
