It's still kinda early doors for all 4 but if all things were equal fitness wise, who are we all liking as first pick at their respective positions?
Elhamed has been so much better than I think anyone could have hoped for considering the lack of fan fare and low fee, he's barely put a foot wrong and looks to be the complete rb, should be a stick on for the first pick on that basis, but Frimpongs emergence has been pretty spectacular and with the attacking threat he poses is gonna be difficult to leave him out?
Boli had a really pi$$ poor start but has settled down a lot and no longer worries me to the extent he used too, but he does still worry me, looks a good athlete and gets into good positions going forward even if the final ball isn't always great.
Taylor I still haven't seen much of but I've been quite encouraged with his link up play on the left, I do worry that he's very lightweight though...
Part of me would be tempted to try Elhamed at left back which I'm sure I heard he has played before.
With young O'Connor making his full Ireland debut at RB I can't see him showing a lot of patience going forward either waiting for his chance so Lenny is gonna have some difficult choices at fullback going forward.
Elhamed/Frimpong/Boli/Taylor ?

For me it has to be Taylor and Elhamed for the big games ie Europe ,finals and The Rangers games .
Frimpong is brilliant to watch and a great find but still lacks experience and has still to be tested defensively against stronger opposition.
Boli still gives me the fear like Boyata did
Taylor is proven at SPL level and internationally too.
Elhamed is another great signing and looks solid defensively as well as being decent on the ball.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
so don't play the lad in big games so he can get the experience he needs?
interesting plan
----------------------------------------------------------------------
hes only 18 years old and has NO experience at all.Brilliant young player but still learning the game, and choosing to throw him in the deep end at this stage of his career (given whats riding on this season) could ruin him.His time will come no doubt

We might not have a choice but to play him. El Hammed will not make any game before the cup final and be touch and go for that too so Frimpong is the sensible option.

i get that but what im saying is at this stage in his development it wouldn't be the ideal scenario IMHO
