He should definitely have a place. Longstaff is also a must. The other two should be subs initially, but changing after 60 mins plus, depending on the game. But all the players are good to mix and match in midfield positions! I think Tanaka, Bogle and Willy Gnonto played a fantastic three against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/manchester-united\" class=\"ssrcss-k8mrr8-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Jay: <\/b>Stach, Tanaka, Ampadu. Simple solution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">John: <\/b>I was at the game and I thought Aaronson played really well against Villarreal. I know he has his doubters but he gives it his all every game and I think over last season he&#8217;s really improved. For me, he is a known factor and worth a starting berth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b class=\"ssrcss-1xjjfut-BoldText e5tfeyi3\">Mark: <\/b>With the focus on midfield and defence in the recruitment so far, determining the midfield starters is challenging. The friendlies have not really cleared that up. Ampadu has looked really solid. Tanaka and Aaronson have both taken their opportunities and looked good. The jury is still out for me in terms of the new boys, and how they can be blended into a starting formation. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/football\/teams\/everton\" class=\"ssrcss-k8mrr8-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Everton<\/a> game will be revealing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We asked for your thoughts on what Leeds&#8217; midfield should look like next season.
