With all players fit, what would your starting 11 be?

I’m not sure he doesn’t give a fudge, but I’m also not sure that he’s fully invested (particularly given his miraculous recoveries for international duty). I can see him angling for a move this summer.

If he wasn't injured, he'd already be gone in the current window.
 
Oh I can't resist!

Right now, based on emotions and observations (so pinch of salt and all that...)

Kinsky

Porro Gray VdV Spence

Deki Bergy Sarr

Johnson Solanke Son


The biggest gamble there is Gray for Romero, and honestly it might be a bit mad because Christian is a great player. There's just something about Gray's in-game intelligence, decision-making and ability to prompt and pass which I think is elite. Equally, I accept Bergy in as the deeper player is also a gamble, but again, he is a player who looks to affect the game in all ways and is learning how to make the right decisions very quickly. I do worry about his propensity to dive in -and he will get a red or two before that lesson is learned - but there is something about that Kinsky/Gray/Bergvall spine which just excites me. A fearlessness which is gathering enormous maturity. Spence might find it harder against orthodox right-footed right-wingers, but with VdV there I think there's enough mitigation.

Sonny is in largely because we need another wide option.

it would leave us with a bench of...

Vic, Udogie, Maddison, Bentancur, Bissouma, Moore, Dragusin, and two open places for the Werner and Richy slots we want to fill next season. Maybe Odobert is one of those?

I’d play kinky on the left instead of son. Based in yesterday showing he moves quicker and passes the ball better

...........................Kinsky...........................
Spence...Romero...VdV........Udogie
................Bergvall........Gray.................
Porro..................Kulu..............Moore

Nice
The old chap next to me thought he had come out because of a stoppage
And my mate on the way home was really not happy with his kicking the ball up to catch it
I remember last year when Vic joined and we played the way we did and fans were aghast
This is next level
This is full on dingdong swinging now

If Romero didn’t care he wouldn’t be outspoken as you know well… he wouldn’t care. I think he does care but has needed a rest which wasn’t afforded to him. With Argentina as well as us he gets run into the ground which is why he started to pick up minor injuries.

I think he cares and would make sure he gets more rest but he would 100% be in my best team.
 
I would evolve the team giving more chances for the stand ins who did well during the injury crisis

starting:
kinski
porro romero vdv spence
grey bissouma
kulu bergvall son
solanke

I would utilise the 4 subs fully

subs:
vicario
dragusin udogie
bentancur sarr johnson werner maddison
randal

then actively rotate players, dropping those who (1) have injury history and (2) those were lethargic or made mistakes in a previous game, to promote a ruthless sense of competition amongst players.

Memory is a funny thing, but gray reminds me of hansen, good defender, good with the ball, but it's his intelligence that marks him out as a bit special.
