I normally quite like your input, especially on the academy, u21, women team etc.
I would strongly disagree with you on the above. There is no way in hell would Mainoo be picked if he was playing to his level at Villa, it will take him at least 2 years with injury crisis for that to happen.
We have seen it before.
If he was playing for Palace let's say, may be yes, because I truly feel GS has his favourites.
