AA spot for me.

Yeah I was hoping for this, although I actually think he will keep TD on the bench and change out Aribo/Smallbone first, AA will start imo. Not that I agree with that, just dont think he will change him out just yet.

I'd actually argue Aribo has looked more effective than AA/WS in the games so far, not that Id keep him in the starting 11.
 
We don't really know what his best position will be until we start playing him. Against Utd I'd play him instead of AA. I want to see him alongside Lallana if possible. Think those two would really complement each other.
Dibling looked very impressive on the right, at Brentford, but he has also looked impressive when playing more central.
His ability to find space in a crowded midfield is very good, as is his willingness to turn and run the ball through the middle. Oh, and he has a great eye for a pass.
I think I see him more as a central midfielder than a wide player but happy to see him wide if it gets him more game time.
 
Not exactly surprising news but RM confirmed to the written press that Gavin Bazunu has been left out of our PL squad submission. We had one too many players over the age of 21 and given his injury, Bazunu was the obvious candidate to be left out. Squad can be resubmitted at end of January

I've said before that I could see him playing the Stuey role of an 8/10 with his direct running from deep. A lot of the goals and assists I've seen from him have come more centrally. I guess that has to be balanced with more defensive minded midfielders.
