    Just think that McGregor has been in great form recently and he deserves to start ahead of Armstrong who has been poor. Also with the ongoing contract saga I would rather we played someone who wants to be here and is fully committed to the cause which McGregor definitely is.

    Like your idea of the 3 at the back but I would be a bit nervous doing that in such a big game. Would definitely feel more confident having 3 at the back at home but don't think I would go for that in Kazakhstan.

    Lustig centre half and Gamboa right back.

    Brendan won't play Bitton centre half in this game.

    If we play Bitton at centre half we are dicing bigtime. This is not the time to be playing games. A decent forward will murder him. FACT

    Bitton's experience means he should start. Still not 100% convinced by Ajer against tough European opposition.

    I don't know why he isn't playing Lustig there with Gamboa RB. Ajer hasn't been playing CB long and Bitton isn't a CB full stop.

    Lustig at last resort. If we play Biton we are out!

    Im hoping we use Ajer a lot this season he's a kid with so much potential if he get enough games under his belt I reckon we will have a real star on our hands in a year or two

    I'd play Bitton, Ajer's played about 20 games at centre-half in his career, he's also never really played in any big pressure games like this. I'd prefer Lustig but it won't happen with Gamboa never really playing so far this season and Ralston who's more inexperienced than Ajer the only option.

    Bitton strolled it vs Rosenborg and has way more experience with high pressure matches. No brainer for me really.

    I'd have to see how they play and what their strikers are like to properly answer. Think I'd go with Bitton though.

    Did you miss him not tracking his man on various occasions aswell, the chance for Doolan * knows what the useless * was upto.

    I think its dodgy playing either of them, Ajer because he's young and still. Not a proper CB, Bitton because he's an accident waiting to happen.

    This issue makes me wonder if Toure was worth keeping around for another season.
