Ok, so 'best' is a loaded word with some of the players we've got in the squad but it is what it is, I guess. So, if all the squad were fit, who would make our first 11?

..................................Dubravka........ ........................

Manquillo..............Schar........Fernandez..... ........Lewis

Saint-Maximin....M Longstaf...S Longstaff......Fraser

..............................Almiron.........

....................................Wilson

Either that or play Hayden in with the Longstaffs and push the Saint into a front 3 with Wilson and Miggy and drop Fraser. Schar isn't the strongest in a pair but is the next best cb after Fernandez and, given a run-and the trust of their muppet...sorry, 'manager', the Longstaffs would be our most effective pairing, imo. We saw from Sean under Rafa that he's equal to the passing range of Shelvey and I think Matty is more forward thinking than Hayden.

Howay, let's get some football talk going before the weekend.
