It’ll be interesting to see how our midfield lines up
Is Eriksen competing with Bruno and DvdB for the nr10 role or playing wide?
Does anyone see DvdB getting a game? Others look much better than him in terms of contributions so far
And will Zidane Iqbal get game time? Ahead of who?
Still think we need a holding midfielder.

Once martinez starts a game we will find out if we need a dm.
Donny as haag says is best playing in an around the striker.
Unfortunately it seems we don't have one.

Donny and mctom biggest disappointments in preseason so far. Donny just seems to get involved as little as possible while mctom hides from the defence when they try to carry it out. We massively need fdj instead of him and unfortunately for dvdb I think Eriksson will be playing ahead of him also.

Martinez has an impressive range of passing from deep. Coupled with his height I think Ten Hag intends to use him as a DM and as cover for CB. If either one or two of Jones, Bailly or Lindelof leave I can see us going for a new CB.

I have read Fernandes as being ‘untouchable’. Really? I can see Eriksen displacing him. I can’t see both starting. Great to see the emergence of a young player like Iqbal. It will be interesting to see how he develops and if he is able to nail down a place over the next couple of years.

Martinez will play left CB, Maguire doesn’t suit a high line, he doesn’t have enough recovery pace. Look at the first goal yesterday.

Eriksen will play CM with Bruno moving either wide or as a false 9.

{Ed0666's Note - I’m not sure Erickson will be a regular. I see him as an impact sub

Erickson will be there to ensure Bruno is at it ?. Vital to have decent backup in every position to keep them hungry.

Eriksen is comfortably the most technically gifted midfielder at the club. We’d be daft to only use him as a bit-part player. Third name on the team sheet for me, after DDG and Sancho.

I think that Eriksen has too much technical ability, craft and guile to sit on the bench. Hopefully, he will be our main playmaker. He will be our fiddler, and as we know, the older the fiddle the sweeter the tune.

DVDB has done nothing at either Utd or Everton to suggest he's remotely good enough to be a regular starter at any top club. They should cut their losses and sell him, particularly if they manage to acquire de Jong. Fred is a far better advance midfield player and despite the regular flak he receives on this site he's proved himself to be an important squad member.

Donny really is conundrum, he can do everything it seems but actually does nothing? Is it a confidence issue or is he just one of them players that just gets bypassed in games .

Bruno will not be playing wide or as a false nine.
