Zeqiri.

The other two seem out of form and confidence. He could be alright or not, but if you don’t play him we’ll never know.

Welbeck’s not exactly Aguero in front of goal. He has missed half a dozen very good chances but I’ll admit that he is doing better than the Barndoor brothers, Connolly & Maupay.

Not convinced we still have the right personnel, but I would put have Welbeck up top with help from an attacking midfielder, I would love to see Bissouma drive forward and cause mayhem in the opposition's box.

We have Lallana, Trossard, MacAllister, Gross, Alzate and Propper would all be better options as a central attacking midfielder than Bissouma

Yep, try this for 2 or 3 games to find out.
Re Maupay, to try to get his confidence back, I'd bring him on if we were 2 goals up, or seriously behind.

I agree there are others, but I have been on the lash today so Biss was at the forefront of my mind!
I still reckon he would stick a few on target and make the keeper work.

If Zeqiri can smash a ball with his left peg (hopefully much like a certain Bobby Z) then get him up front and get Lallana to feed him in the channel with the instruction to hit it every time

Welbeck & Connolly vs Wolves (if starting with two forwards). Against Arsenal, Maupay should obviously start, while he is low on confidence I think he probably got a lot of confidence in that particular matchup.

Bissouma deep then with McAllister, Lallana and Alzate all further forward behind Wellbeck. Against the top 6 pull one of the 3 back. They're not quick enough though to play up when we have ball and back when we don't.

The Polish lad might challenge March for LWB or at least give us the option to rest him sometimes.

Generally I always want the one who isn't playing to be playing. Neither Connolly and Maupay are good enough at this level. Who knows about the Swiss bloke.

Potter knows this too I think, this is why he is always switching and swapping them.

He needs to make his choice and give them a chance to gel.

Although I don’t rate him as a striker necessarily, I went for Connolly because of his ability to make runs behind defensive lines and create openings for Welbeck.

Players willing to take the risk and have a shot would drastically increase our goal tally, frankly I won't complain whoever they are
