Watching his highlights Meyer seems to have a lovely weighted through ball pass which if used slipping Zaha in behind could cause carnage.
Id like to see Meyer Zaha and Adros all in attack.

Leave the holding job to Luka he is the man for that role. Kouyate either in there with him or in and around the middle.

We were great at the end of last season. Great pre season and great on Saturday.

I say let the new boys earn their right to play for us first before we start discussing who to drop.

This is also how I see it. Kouyate, Jimmy Mc and Luka together gives us a very strong base with which to attack. Meyer can provide the creativity that perhaps RLC would have given us. Schlupp can play on the left if we are struggling, as can Ayew for Tekkas or Andros. Fact is, the players we have bought are as good as the ones we have lost and in a way actually add more to the squad because they have more variety to their game. Overall I think this is a better squad than last year and that is all I would ever ask from the club - just get slightly better each year.

They are not paying Meyer a fortune to have him sit on the bench

Unless he is terrible in training, I'd start bedding him in after the Liverpool game. We have a relatively easy schedule up to October 21 - away to Everton. Optimistically, by then, even that will be regarded as winnable

The general consensus seems to be that Kouyate had gone off the boil at West Ham. Nevertheless, he was second in assists for the team last year

Medium term, I see Schlupp as an impact sub and McArthur as the first replacement for Meyer/Kouyate/Luka if any of them are missing

On last season's form, Ayew is a better player then Bentecke.

I'm not sure why we would be starting Bentecke to be honest. He needs to start scoring in the next few games otherwise Ayew to start.

What I’m seeing is the possibility of any three playing together in the middle -
- Luka / Kouyaté / Macca
- Luka / Meyer / Macca
- Luka / Meyer / Kouyaté
- Depending on what we need or who we’re playing, with Wilf / Andros out wide and Benteke in the middle.

Add Schlupp and a solid forth option for the middle / replacement LB / winger / etc and he becomes our utility man.
I think it helps to rotate midfield with one pushing on as we will have injuries or absences.
