    For now I'd use Haksabanovic in the middle with Hatate and O'Riley assuming Jota being fit. When Calmac comes back things will get interesting.

    Curious to know what folk think is his best position though based on what they've seen so far from him? He's arguably had motm-level performances on the wing and in midfield.

    He looks most natural on the left imo.

    I would also like to try him as a false 9 Bobby Firmino style. Jota him Abada what a fluid front 3 we'd have, when Abada does sexy little central runs Saed could/would naturally drift wide still allowing the option of a natural Winger Inside Right or Wide Right

    On the left easily for me mate, he has moments in the middle, but he dominates on the left

    Think he could be an option at that but * putting him there before GG or Kyogo right now.

    With everyone fit.

    I'd say a role in the middle at the expense of O'Riley would be something I'd love to see domestically.

    Having any option of Kyogo or Giakoumakis as the ST. But have around them a 3 of Jota, Haskobanovic and Abada.

    Mercy me.

    what you doing with Jota then ? He’s best on the left as well

    Yea I think full strength O’Reilly struggles to make it in our starting 11.

    I’d have Jota before him, and I like Haksabanovic through the middle as well, so that until Calmac’s back for the SPFL anyway.

    But still think Haksabanovic looks at his best off the left. Maybe get them to be interchangeable from the left and in the middle, when Jota goes inside, Haksa goes outside. If it’s a proper 4231 Haksa doing that with both wingers could be devastating, all 3 are clever enough to do it. But * knows what happens when Calmacs back, because I want Hatate, Callum and O’Riley there the majority of the time

    Got to be Jota on the right and Haksa on the left when everyone is fit, with the usual rotations. When Jota's playing RW he's never stuck there, swaps over all the time.

    I think Ange started off doing that start of the year Jota on the right, but he’s too good on the left compared to on the right, he made sure to change it about three games in. Because everything he does is when he’s on the left.

    Persevering on the right is detrimental to him and us, I don’t think he’ll try it again. I can see him trying Haksabanovic on the right before he puts Jota back on that side

    Jota should 100% start on the left. I would start Haksa in the middle tbh. Or on the right when Abada is off form.

    I wouldn't have him before either as well just playing both every game we will inevitably have a Striker injured and I think he could be more a more detailed interesting option than Made a as essentially 3rd choice striker. Trying to fit Abada Jota Kyogo and Saed in one teams hard even harder once Cal Mac is back

    Should be playing every game for us. Our most creative player. When he gets the ball you think something could happen. I'd play him in the 10 at the moment as some of our midfielders have gone off the boil. O'Riley poor today.

    No surprise we managed to string a few passes when him and Taylor came on. Excellent cameo, needs to start when fit.

    He’s just a quality footballer. Can’t say anything more than that. Wonderful signing.
