He was never good enough should of kept Willock
Great poll! Good idea!First off, i think all our starting 11 have played particularly well. Even Xhaka who used to drive me mental has played very well. Assume we even win league but now we got to kick on and we can’t be complacent. Lfc did that with their core and paid the price and we know our rivals will all spend and improve. List it in order with number 1 being the player or position we most need an upgrade on.
1. Xhaka: still think we need a fast skilled Partey type in his position
2. White: good versatile player his interchanges with Saka today were great but his stupidity cost us a goal also. Again i want him squad but in starting 11 he is a place we can improve
3. Ramsdale: good keeper, made a fine long ball to Saka today, but he has had a poor post WC. He may need to fight someone for the spot. Too be fair not a lot of keepers better than him
Still thisRamsdale
Xhaka
White
Ha me and you picked same 3 guys. I might replace Zinny before White, our fullbacks both can be improved onStill this
Gabby Jesus?One of the forward positions too, but not saying which as I want peace today (it's not Saka).
Both our fullbacks and Ramsdale have dodgy momentsI chose Ramsdale, White and Zinchenko.
They’re weaker links to me than Partey or Xhaka. I think they’re better when we have possession but are a bit easy to bypass when we lose the ball.Both our fullbacks and Ramsdale have dodgy moments
I think Xhaka is weakest to be honest but there is room formajor improvement at Fullback. Ramsdale to is a bit up and down; the one thing with Ramsdale though is there aren’t too many better alternatives out there that we could have, i could be wrong but don’t see obvious gettable replacement for him.They’re weaker links to me than Partey or Xhaka.

Jesus offers us more than Martinelli and Saka do over 90 minutes though. However no one wants to watch a striker than can’t finish.I’ll say it with my chest and it’s more than three. By priority:
Jesus

Ramsdale
White
Zinchenko
Reduced role for Partey (Keep around for experience)
Reduced role for Xhaka (Keep around for experience)
Competition for Saka/Martinelli
Likewise for Ødegaard

Lacazette and Giroud lacked athleticism though which Jesus has in bundles and he gets involved deeper and defensively.As harsh as it may sound, what’s the purpose of having a striker with no end product?
It’s what we used to criticise Lacazette, Giroud etc for doing. Let's call a spade a spade.
Jesus really mate his numbers were pretty good considering he missed 3 months. He isn’t the most clinical striker but a pretty damn good total footballer. I agree with the other guys but i feel our attack is pretty solid.I’ll say it with my chest and it’s more than three. By priority:

But again I can’t really argue with the point about a striker with no end product. That’s what you’re there for at the end of the day.
