    If he plays like he did before the break we'll be fine.

    Seems better the further forward he is. Happy for him to come into midfield but never want to see him in the back four again

    Surprised he's somehow found himself behind McCarthy in the pecking order. Feel bad for him to honest, been playing really well lately.

    Imagine he will start as the 6 now against the diets and for the next couple of weeks at least. Thankfully he has been playing well so far this season so lets hope he continues that now as we will need him to be big for us in these upcoming games.

    He was outstanding against Leverkusen away and will also add a bit of height and strength to the midfield. Something I feel we have been lacking. Obviously will be a weaker side without McGregor but we have a good replacement in Bitton - if he continues his current form.

    I think he will get the captain's armband as well for derby game.

    I have absolutely no concerns about Bitton slotting into midfield.

    I think he should as well. I think it might still go to Joe Hart but.

    I'd give it to Ralston, but Hart is okay, too. Bitton doesn't look like a guy that would shout at his teammates.:56:

    Bitton is more of a red card worry than Soro

    He does give us a bit of extra height which particularly on defensive set pieces will be good considering how big a weakness that is for us. He has as you say been playing well so hopefully he can continue that form on Wednesday and beyond as clearly McGregor is going to be missing a lot of games now.

    I actually would have been tempted to start Bitton against the diets and the huns even if everybody was fit, so it'll be interesting to see how he copes.
