    You have the right players in the right positions and you play good football.

    Something we have lacked for many years: our biggest problem is energy in midfield.

    We have had Shelvey and Hayden as our consistent players in a midfield with sometimes Longstaff.

    We have easily the worst midfield in the PL. And often get completely over ran.

    I would accept this, if the getting there involved running there and not taking off like a 747

    It's evolution and it takes time ... Ranieri bought Ndidi, Maddison was a punt on a Championship talent (as was James Jystin) and Tielemans initially came on loan as he had fallen down the pecking order where he was and wanted game time.... Barnes, Thomas and Dewsbury- Hall all came through the academy ... good mix and all young

    Which is another thing we have not done well for z14 years under Ashley. No young players of any quality at all. Seriously neglected.

    I don’t think a lot of fans from other clubs really understand how neglected the club has been treat. We still have 15/25 players who came up from the championship 5 years ago in the squad.

    It’s going to take years to get this mess sorted.

    Someone did a count a couple of days ago and proved it was 15 that’s started the first premiership season after promotion.

    Looking at your avi you have definitely had some great goalkeepers but my favourite has to be Banksy. A true great and a true gent and ridiculously modest.

    I did it myself today because I was curious. The 11 would also include Longstaff (not Matty) and Woodman.

    Dubs has a flaw and it's that he can't had no ability to pass like Howe wants.
