This is who I'd go with, biggest decision is goalkeeper for me. It's tough on McGregor as he's a fantastic keeper especially at shot-stopping but McLaughlin has done nothing wrong and is better equipped to play the ball out from the back.

Thats the team but no way Roofe starts, on the bench at best.

I watched them vs A'deen and Dundee Tesco. They lost one and won one but both games were crap. However, they have only conceded 3 goals in 7 matches so they are no mugs.
If we 'click' on Sunday we will win - but I expect a tight game.

That and he’s our no 1. Not injured he’s playing that’s how it works. The goalkeeping position is totally different to the rest as you can’t chop and change. Shagger is the goalie when fit simple as that

I think you’ll be in for a shock when the team is announced on Sunday mate.

Assuming Roofe is fit and Alfie hasn’t left then this is the team
Think Arfield a stick on especially away to spoon burners.
This is the team to win by at least a couple.
This will be the team IMO. Shagger could be back in goals though, hard away venue.

That's the team for me, if everyone is fit.
Arfield for Roofe, if he doesn't make it.
I actually think this will be one of our more comfortable away games.
I've watched Hibs against Motherwell, Aberdeen and St Johnstone.
They scored one goal in those games and should've lost every one of them.
They will also play more openly than other teams we've faced, which will suit us perfectly.
Surely Helander has to start he is our best defender Balogun has been good too but Helender is a top defender rest of team I agree with you but think the manager will pick Hagi in front of Arfield
I agree I watched they games too and came to same conclusion I thought they were very poor if we play our normal game we will crush them

This! With Arfield and Defoe waiting to grab the opportunity if anyone is not performing middle to front during the game.

Helander will most likely start.

Helander and Goldson are by a distance the best CH paring imo. Rest of the team is what I would go with.

Cant see him risking Roofe if he has a history of calf troubles, would be ridiculous this early in the season with the matches coming up to take even a slight risk with our number 9.
Don't like playing Hagi off the right but looking at how light our subs bench will be already after a few weeks it shows the need for reinforcements.

Be curious to see if McGregor starts in these kind of games, we'll be alot more tested at the back and Mcgregor is still the best shot stopper by a mile
Thanks for typing it for me CC
This with McGregor for McLaughlin for me.
He's the better, more experienced keeper and should play when fit IMO.

In your opinion it's as "simple as that" in my opinion it's not!

I like McGregor but you can't drop a keeper who's not conceded a goal in seven league games.
McLaughlin's looked the part.

Agreed Bagolan hasn’t done enough. I think Ballogan is a good player mind you. Given the choice though I’d pick Helander over Bogalan.

If Roofe isn’t fit for Sunday move Morelos into the three and play Itten as the striker

need to watch that snidey prick Porteous who will be up to his usual of pushing and kicking his opponents whilst trying to ref the game and not touch the ball.

The only big decision (out with the keeper) to be made is whether it's Hagi, Roofe or Arfield.
Full strength where possible with all the injuries for me:
McLaughlin
Tavernier
Goldson
Helander
Barisic
Davis
Kamara
Roofe
Hagi
Kent
Morelos
Fire Power from the bench with Itten and Defoe, we still look strong but remain quite light in the attacking roles behind the front man.

Hagi offers far, far more in "big games" than people give him credit for. It's as if a players contribution is judged by how long they are on the bal.

I’d maybe play Arfield ahead of Hagi, I fear that that thug Porteous will try and hit Hagi early and he could disappear out the match. Scotty on the other hand loves the battle and gives us a wee bit extra physicality

not for me
McLaughlins been excellent in the league, dropping him now sends a message that performance is not important in keeping your place
we need to start rewarding performance over what is expected to be a starter player
Ubik

Agreed. Gerrard will be keen to reward him for getting his arse into gear. Make it clear that if he turns up for us he can still be our main man... And make it clear to our suitors that he is still a £20m+ player we are happy to keep!
You want him? Let's see the stupid money please.
Agreed.

Leaving aside the lack of loyalty to a player who has been injured, who do you see as the better keeper ?
