Our best XI from a full squad ?

[LincsWoldsClaret]

Since moving to the championship he’s played less than 5 games at right wing. (For comparison he’s played the same amount of the left).

The rest of the time in the championship he’s played centrally either as a striker or a ten.

IMO he has 100% been signed to play number 10

Well apart from his first season when he played wide right. You think we’ve signed him to play inside left?

He’s been one of the best players in the Championship for the last few seasons. If he can recreate his Millwall form for us he’ll go on to be even better.

Why anyone would want a player who clearly doesn't want to be here in their best current XI is way beyond my comprehension.

I’ve not seen anything to suggest he doesn’t want be here although there are certainly rumours how true they are is anyone’s guess, clearly time will tell on that. If you base it on ability then he would start for us every week if you base it on last season then yes I wouldn’t start him. Hopefully the people that matter wil give him a chance to prove himself and not focus on last season.

Because its not a ‘who you like XI’. Its not a ‘who wants to be bere XI’. Its meant to be our best XI. He arguably has the pedigree to be in a best XI - so discounting him is beyond foolish.

As has been said already. Some are arguing that if we signed Messi tomorrow - he cant get in the side we’ve not seen him play.

What you like or dislike shouldnt come into it. I bet managers in the past have hated their best players privately. But had to play them as they were needed to win.

There's nothing we've seen from him that suggests he should be in our best XI as yet.

It's really not that difficult to work out.

Anthony and Koleosho were very diligent in their defensive duties against Leeds. Their work ethic to get up and down consistently was seriously impressive.

For all of Benson’s quality in certain moments, he just doesnt contribute enough to the defensive side.

Dont mind Anthony as a player good assist for Foster against bastards. Need to see more from him though.

Im sure Parker will realise like Vinny before him that Benson on for the last 20 mins against tiring champ defences is a good weapon to use.

Roberts. Worrall. Esteve. Don’t know


Koleosho. Cullen. Brown hill. Don’t know

Fleming

Not sure about the left side at the moment so don’t want to favour any player.

Pires LB, Anthony LM and you’re spot on.
