Who do you consider our best player? Top three: 00:45 - Oct 7 with 4477 viewsThe_Romford_Blue

We’ve so many really good players but not one standout. It’s not a year where we’ve a Delap for example who you just knew from early doors was top drawer and a future England player.

Whereas now we’ve more players of a higher level but not one standout superstar.

Philogene arguably will be there and is our next Hutch. Azor IS 100% the next Kante.

But I’m going to say for me it’s Cajuste.

Let’s have your 1-2-3 (I’ll do the maths in a couple days).

1st = 4 points
2nd = 2 points
3rd = 1 point

Who do you consider our best player? Top three: on 10:06 - Oct 7 by TractorFrog

1. Leif Davis
2. Jaden Philogene
3. Azor Matusiwa.

Interesting that almost everyone seems to agree on those three in some order.


They are the ones who've had the most impact at this stage. Which is not quite the same as "best".

1 Matisuwa
2 Leif
3 Philogene (possibly a bit of recency bias in this, but he's now showing the x factor that wins games)

I have a hunch that Walle-Egeli will be in this in a few months, once he is up to speed.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

1. Azor

Egeli I'm hoping will be banging the door of that top three down in months to come along with a few others.

Leif, Azor and Jaden seem the most obvious, but I think Dara O'Shea is very important too.

3. He cuts out almost anything that dares to broach our midfield - Razor Matusiwa

Obviously honourable mentions for Davis and Cajuste but let's not forget the ever industrious Hirst, the ever reliable headers out of defence of O'Shea and the ever improving Palmer.

Who do you consider our best player? Top three: on 01:32 - Oct 7 by Ryorry

Tempted to say 1. Leif 2. Leif 3. Leif

but ok, your rulez -

1. Leif
2. Matusiwa
3. Kipre


Kipre!!? Seriously? He's done well coming into the team but he's not even our best CB. He will probably end up being our 3rd best that we have. Not sure why the clamour to have Kipre over Greaves based on such a small sample size. Kipre keeps his place no argument from me. I do think Greaves will win it back though.

My 3:

Azor
Davis
Philogene

Feel like the squad is filled with such quality that it’s a bit like picking your favourite child. That said:

1. Davis
2. Jack Clarke - incredibly skilful and as his confidence grows is going to go from strength to strength
3. Matusiwa (though I sense as sample size increases, Núñez may occupy this spot)

Felt similarly about Jack Clarke, who nearly made it to my 3rd place, close call.

Was discussing this with my son yesterday but we said if everyone was sold tomorrow who would fetch the most. We also settled on that for the same model we'd have 7 out of the top 10 for the whole division.

1. Leif Davis
2. Jens Cajuste
3. Philogene

For what it’s worth.. Leif is my number 1. Totally forgot his existence when doing the OP.

He’s our best player though without a doubt.

1) Leif
2) Cajuste
3) Matusiwa

I'm trying so hard to understand...... but I have no idea why Cajuste is so popular. Apart from doing 2 or 3 fancy things a game. Then he gets taken off after 60mins.
Absolutely brilliant for the first 20-25 mins against Pompey. Big contribution to Philogene's goal. Then fades. Then gets taken off. And that was the best game ive seen him play. Not enough to be one of our best players.

Davis, Matusiwa, Philogene- glad to see those players getting the plaudits. Matusiwa- best signing this summer.

Each to their own but can't see how Egeli or Kipre could be in our top 3. Both been bit part players so far this season, for understandable reasons, but still.

Agree, also amazed some aren’t putting Cajuste in!

Think the top,three picks itself really.

Cajuste, Philogene, Davis…. In whichever order you fancy.

By best what do you mean?
Best technically? First name on the team sheet? Cos at the moment our best player first name in the team sheet and our most successful new signing is Furlong without a doubt, since he came in our form has only gone one way.
If purely technical then;
Clarke
Billy
Jens

However I’d say our Best Player is Leif as he is the only player we have who can do it all.

I think probably people are putting Matusiwa ahead of Cajuste because so far Matusiwa looks a better player and is performing at a higher level more consistently than Cajuste. Just a hunch, but I think that's probably it.

I wonder how many from this thread now have Philogene in their top 3;

Philogene stats from today make for ugly reading ... by The_Flashing_Smile 2 Oct 21:34
No-one's suggesting going overboard. Some are suggesting give players time, which you weren't doing when this thread started;

"I remember people telling me he was going to cook it up, and tear this league apart on, along with Jack Clarke when I said they aren’t good enough."

This was 4 games in... where you were declaring you'd been proved right against those other fools. Four fecking games.

You can trot out the "game of opinions" cliche as much as you want, your opinion to write him off and say he's not good enough, four games in, is a bobbins opinion. In my opinion.


Trust the process. Trust Phil.
