Joe might quite fancy it at left back!

With injuries and rotation I would be surprised if Elvedi ends up playing quite a lot, looked assured on Tuesday night. Impressed with the upgrades at the back this summer, four very capable centre backs with Ampadu and Justin to cover.

Indeed.

I posted last week, Joe may play in different positions,

McQueen, Charlton, Madeley and Hunter.

All world class imo.

I think Madeley hardly got any England caps though.

Checked Wiki and Paul actually had 24 caps for England.

Rodon - Bijol - Elvedi - Muharemovic

We could play wingers with that formation and still have the pivot plus a 8/10 hybrid

I fully agree with you and am worried at the madness spreading through the forum.

Rodon will not be converted to a full back (though he will be encouraged to attack from his central position) and we will not play 4 centrebacks as a formation barring a remarkable injury crisis

I questioned who was for the chop when we signed Elvedi. Hard to leave any of these out but, for me, and pace aside, Rodon is behind the other 3. But he is undroppable! As mentioned by others: what a conundrum to have. Not voted because there is not a best 3 IMO...
