    Has Bertrand ever played right back? Could put him there and then Vokins at left back after his good showing in the last round

    Danso seems to be one of those crap buys that we will only see sporadically in cup competitions. I forget how much the club paid.

    Ings Adams

    Redmond Hojberg Prowsey Armstrong

    Berty Yoshi Stephens Danso

    Gunn or Macca

    Vokins, Smallbone, Obafemi, Djenepo, Boufal etc. on the bench

    I worry massively about Son against a makeshift RB.

    The RB will have a RM and CB to support him.

    Can I be revolutionary? Why not bring in Ramsey? He is a right back with some experience playing for the first team last season.
    Square pegs in square holes please

    My point is that the club roll these players out as marquee signings only for the majority of them to be a bit ****. I understand that not every player will set the world on fire but apart from djenepo I struggle to understand what is happening with the scouting.
    Let's stick with the kids and save millions of pounds maybe?
    I'm probably going to get grief for this but I stand by my opinion!

    JWP is the obvious choice at RB. He had Zaha in his pocket...

    Absolutely.

    I actually think this is an ideal opportunity to give JWP more practice at RB. Surely the more utility players you have in a squad, the better.

    Right back is the easiest position in the team to fill - that`s why I ended up as right back, I suppose !. We should put our best players in their best positions - so JWP in midfield please.

    McCarthy;
    JWP, Yoshida, Stephens, Bertrand;
    Armstrong, Romeu, PeH, Redmond;
    Ings, Adams.

    Gunn; Danso, Vokins; Smallbone, Boufal, Djenepo; Obafemi
    Got to play the strongest team we can period. And Romeu is better at CM than any of the RB options we have available other than JWP

    Bednarek is clearly fit and training so he will be alongside Stephens. Perhaps Yoshida at RB?

    Yep. I got hit on the head by a ball whilst walking through Brighton this morning, so he’s definitely back on shooting drills.

    To be fair, that might be Cenk Tosun's effort just coming back down to Earth.
