For your first point, see your second paragraph6 months ago people on here were saying he ain’t good enough. Now they want to build a team around him .
fickle life of a football fan I guess . He certainly has the strength and heart of a lion . Definitely upped his game this season and led by example.
I feel that's disingenuous. Here's my post on him from the summer:6 months ago people on here were saying he ain’t good enough. Now they want to build a team around him .

I’d be really disappointed if we can’t find a place for him. There’s so much ability, work rate and personality there.
When in the final third with players back, he’s the one I have most belief in to find a way through.
I genuinely think the only thing we need to do is find a way to counter where he isn’t the player receiving it on the halfway line and slowing everything down.
There isn't even another worth candidate he has been that good.His third 90 minutes in 7 days and he was still running himself into the ground. Player of our season by far.

I'd give a stray vote to Gray.There isn't even another worth candidate he has been that good.
In a back four that leaked 6 goals that’s quite a complimentI'd give a stray vote to Gray.
Kulusevski has been our most consistently good player all season, but Gray deserves a mention for playing consistently well at nearly every position we put him in - at 18, with no previous PL experience.
Except 7-8 months ago he didn’t have the confidence to take any defenders on at all, and many on here would have sold him in the summer. Not everything is so clear cut.Has a winners mentality, sticks out massively in our squad compiled of mostly losers
Why are we moving him right to fit Madders in the team? We need to have him central.

Of course we do. Werner or Johnson can play wide. It's not like Maddison is any better.Because we don't have any other options really?
Solanke has stepped in and looks completely at home.There isn't even another worth candidate he has been that good.
I'm not sure that Werner or Johnson are either though.Of course we do. Werner or Johnson can play wide. It's not like Maddison is any better.

Sadly, as much as he's better centrally, Deki is probably our most effective player out on the right and in Madders, at least we've got someone who can be decent through the middle.
We're scraping the bottom of the barrel at present and it's just a case of trying to put out the best team we can.
I think Deki wide and Madders central provides more than Deki central and Johnson or Werner out on the right, especially when it comes to creativity and ball retention.
