Can I change to Ra7
On second thoughts, Raa8 just seems too passive

What are we going to do?
Leave the rook in the kingside to use as a possible defender. Then Rf7 should be played.
Or put some pressure in the queenside with Rb8.
I do not see a direct threat if Rb8, so that will be my suggestion.
Rb8

Well I think it is between Rf7 and Rb8. I'm not sure which I think is better yet. I wonder if Rb8 leaves the king a bit exposed, but indeed no direct threat currently. Leaning towards Rf7

is b2-b4 a threat? If it is, Rb8 seems better. Also, after Rf7 all of our 3 heavy pieces will be on 7-th rank, which is useless.
