Out of interest, given potter plays 3-4-3 what would you all think is our best starting 11? 

Without having an official option on Ferguson, we’d pretty much be increasing the value of another young player while decreasing the value of our one that
we own. Bowen starts every game - we all agree that, then eventually it’ll come down to whether we start kudus or Ferguson 

Kudus is the issue with the 3-4-3, he’s also probably our most valuable player in terms of value, we could get £80m for him eventually. He’s also flawed. 

Given him and Bowen play the same position, plus Guilherme who looked very good in his cameo last night, I’d be tempted to play Bowen up top with Ferguson as super sub, kudus in best position and hope someone comes in with a £70m bid in the summer for him

If we had a truly fully fit strong that's my suspicion of what we'd see.  The debate for me is the Alvarez-Soucek combination as to if that's what he'd go with.  Wouldn't surprise me to see him try Paqueta there, but the conundrum of how you get Bowen, Paqueta and Kudus into the side at the same time (especially with a striker too) remains an open debate.

Maybe Bowen goes up top (he was excellent last night) and Kudus comes in.  But will be interesting if the chance is ever there.

For what it’s worth I’d try something a bit crazy:

fab/areola

AWB Todibo Kilman 

Summerville Alvarez Soucek Kudus 

Bowen Ferguson Paqueta
