Unseen work

I’m aware this rarely happens in football and it depends on who we are playing and where
But what is our best team? For me there are a couple of variables;
Murphy and Boyle on form are two of our best players and should start, the issue is that Murphy can’t play left of a 352 so that leaves us with a 433/451 or 442.
Nisbet and Doidge play better with a partner with them as do most strikers, they also offer us a lot defensively and stop other teams playing out from the back and are handy at set pieces. Nisbet already has double figures and Doidge hit 20? Last season.
Centre of the park Gogic has been a revelation and added much needed defensive awareness. I’m aware that he’s not everyone’s cup of tea and whilst I’d love someone like him but also with the playmaker attributes they’re hard to come by. I think it goes a bit unnoticed just how many times he breaks up play, wins a header or regains possession for us and allows us to play.
But, if it’s a midfield 2/3 would Gogic be the in it ahead of say a middle 3 of Magennis, Newell and Allan? Would any of them offer enough defensively and who?
Ross certainly has a tough job on his hands picking a starting 11 as for me id always want the ball players in the starting 11 along with speed and directness.
..............Marciano..........
McGinn....Porteous....Hanlon....Mackie....
.......Magennis...Newelll...
Boyle..........Allan.............Murphy..
..................Nisbet......
Looks good to me on paper however historically I’ve never really liked us with 1 up top and think they look a bit isolated. I’d also worry we get overrun in the middle of the park.
McCrorie would have made a massive to the team as he offers Gogic defensive ability but also ability on the ball and a real drive about him. I think a player like him is the missing ingredient and hope we get similar in January.
What’s everyone’s thoughts?
