Firstly, where the feck is Bagan, and why is he not being considered?
Injured? Not considered good enough?

Secondly, Nkounkou is clearly a massive liability defensively. If we're not prepared to give Bagan the chance, then should we be playing O'Dowda at left-back and Nkounkou further forward?

It's an option that grates on me because we don't want to lose O'Dowda's attacking threat. However, he's clearly far better than Nkounkou defensively.

That left-back spot needs sorting one way or another, and fast!
