Prefer this one myself but not sure its what Cooper will use.

By the way Aina is never a left back. To be honest its the one area I still think we have a hole. I would prefer to keep Toffolo in the 25 if he gets off with a suspended ban to add some solidity.

Central midfield though is massively stronger in every permutation. Or at least I hope it will be!

If we play 4231, we only really have Origi as backup to Elanga, CHO and MGW. Plus we're backing those guys to be good, when neither Elanga or CHO have played that regularly. Maybe it's something we gradually transition to, suspect it's what we'll go to when we need to attack/win as opposed to our team.

Left back is worrying though, Tavares will be much less of a liability as LWB.

time for young Brandon to step up ?

As long as we get away from this & start attacking a bit more I don't care

CHO has played as RWB and LWB. He will be a more rounded player IF his injuries are a thing of the past. An Achilles injury is the worst a footballer can have and not moved on as much in treatment as ACL over the years. That’s my only worry and that’s why he was cheap. I remember Webb. He was an outstanding player and never the same after his Achilles injury.

Yes we paid 3m, we can't be expecting too much from him. It's a punt of him developing back over time. This is why I'd imagine 4231 is unlikely to begin with as would imply CHO is guaranteed to start every game.

Has today's game influenced your thoughts on Aina at LB?

Still don’t think he is a natural left back, however he does look like a very good footballer and I’m delighted we have him. To be honest I would play him right back in his natural position if he keeps Montiel out the team so be it.

Worrall getting dropped after having the game of his life, lol.

I'm conflicted with Aureir, should we rather keep him at the CG for a final season or accept an offer from Saudi if one is genuinely there. Forest are stronger with him.

Yeah, I agree. I can't see Worrall being dropped from the starting XI at the moment.
