From what I've seen so far, my starting 11 at the moment would be.....

               Guzan

Lowton    Okore    Vlaar   Moon

     KEA   Westwood   Delph

Weimann    Benteke  Gabby


It was a tough call between KEA and Sylla but KEA just shades it for the time being.

Schmeichel, Maldini, Baresi, McGrath, Brehme, Matteus, Platini, Zidane, Maradona, Messi, Van Basten. Subs; Buffon, Cannavaro, R Carlos, Xavi, Iniesta, Gullit, Ronaldo (Bra).
Best i've seen since mid eighties.

Or if you go English only;
Shilton, Parker, Pearce, Walker, Terry, Gerrard, Beckham, Platt, Gascoigne, Lineker, Shearer.
Subs; Seaman, Ferdinand, Baines, Scholes, Ince, Beardsley, Rooney.

I think most of us so far have gone for luna and okore in defence - they have certainly helped shore things up - last season in the same 3 games we conceded 12 goals and had a goal diff of -10 , so a big improvement on that so far.

A clean sheet against newcastle would be nice too.

Need to see tonev in the Weimann role and see what he can do , the back 4 on Saturday looked solid , kea has started well and it would be between him and sylla for a spot too-

                           Guzan
 Lowton.      Vlaar.   Okore.    Luna

     Delph.   Westwood.   Sylla/kea

  Gabby.    Benteke.     Weimann/tonev

Yep can see Tonev pushing Weimann in the coming months.

Not sure. My admittedly very early thoughts are that Bacuna seems more the footballer and Tonev more the headless chicken, so i could see Bacuna challenging there moreso. It is really too early to make a proper judgement though.
