We played really well yesterday, Sinclair for me was really off it. Hoping he was more worried about getting injured than it being poor form.

Doesn't Kouassi look a good player? Our midfield is a bit packed, is there any likely hood of anyone leaving? Bitton and Henderson for me as the rest seem to be better.

Strikers? I honestly expected to see either Nadir or Jack to start the game to see if they could perform against Rosenborg, bit worried that this game without a striker will be more difficult than it should be? Fingers crossed Leigh makes it.

Now the big question? Does McGregor warrant a start?

I would start McGregor every week, thought last dozen or so games of last season he was outstanding. Couldn't believe he never started last Wed and more baffling he never even came on.

Don't think nadir can play on Wednesday.
Did he get registered?

Kouassi is startng to settle in and show some real quality I think. A perfect cover and understudy in the anchor for Broony, and dare I say it, might even start to challenge him in time?

Ntcham, McGregor and Armstrong competing for the more advanced role - Bitton and Henderson both look surplus I agree.

Would have loved Aitchison see a bit more game time, not just this preseason but last term too. Either he's seen as not ready or not able so that's somewhere we want to think about.

As for the big question, though he doesn't directly solve our 'problem' area for Rosenborg (striker) he has certainly given Rodgers food for thought with a hat trick.

Kouassi was the best player on the park yesterday, the father in law, who is a toon fan was raving about him all the way home.

Ajer was quality too, as was most of the bhoys but Sinclair does look off the boil to me.

I'd start with mcgregor and armstrong in midfield on Wednesday with sinky through the middle. I know I said he off the boil but I can't think of many better options.

Hoping Sinclair hasn't got the POTY curse that's affected a few of our players.

Jim, got to be honest, when we first got on the metro and there was over 100 bhoys on the Bucky and signing a few choice songs he was a bit overwhelmed but when I was telling a few of them it was his first game they were great with him.
He had a ball, spent most of the game watching the fans.
He wants us to move home so he can get a season ticket haha
Need to get up to more games with him.

Kev I don't think we desperately needed ntcham or benyu I don't think both are much better than Henderson if better at all (time will tell on that though) i agree biton surplus as kouassi looks far more mobile. i don't think if armstrong left it would hurt us too much although id prefer him to stay . as for mgregor he should have started last weds and should start this weds also. but having spent big on ntcham will he play regardless just to justify spend? . i think as big a question is Sinclair starting as he is looking poor just now . just a blip? For me team should be along the lies of:

Gordon
Lustig
Jozo
Ajer
Kt
Forrest
Mgregor
Brown
Armstrong
Sinclair
Rogic
Griffs/ if fit

If no griffs do we play aitcheson or cifti? . or as br hinted forrest up top and put in hayes rw. or add in kouassi and move mgregor up top. id prefer kouassi and mgregor option as it gives More central cover . but no matter who plays we need to up our game from last week.

Good to hear Craig. It probably could be a bit daunting to be fair lol.

I don't think we can play cifti. Don't think we registered him did we?
