Pinebro Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 We all have different opinions but Buendia goes straight in for me even with everyone fit. Buendia just offers way too much flair. You cannot not play him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia just offers way too much flair. You cannot not play him I’d be surprised. He didn’t start all the time at the end of last season in the great run for Europe and obviously not in this run this season either. So we can not play him and still do pretty well. If everyone is fit you dropping McGinn, Ramsey or Diaby to get him in the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our strongest 11 is Sundays team with Ramsey in for Zaniola and Moreno in for Digne. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash..........Konsa...Pau.....Moreno ..............Kamara...Luiz.................... Buendia...............................Ramsey .............Diaby.....Watkins....................

Be interesting when Moreno is back fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn is a decent player but doesn't really score a lot of goals. And considering how much higher up he is playung under Emery I expect better output from him. As an example, Ramsey play a similar role on the other side but scores way more goals. We need more goals from all midfielders if we want to challenge. Buendia is just a better footballer and gives us more. Edited October 25, 2023 by Pinebro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia couldn’t get in the side ahead of Bailey at the back end of last season so he has no chance with Ramsey fully fit and with Zaniolo here. Our best XI pretty much picks itself. McGinn is a far better player than Buendia with Emery and every manager before him agreeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn even said himself before the season he expected to score more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia is a good player but better off the bench in my opinion. Seems to thrive more when the opposition have tired a bit and more space is available. My caveat to strongest team earlier when everyone is fit is I would start Mings against stronger teams where we would be expected to do a lot more defending and play on the break.

Buendia is just as tenacious as McGinn is. It's just less notable due to his small size As stated I expect more goals and assists from McGinn than he is providing us.
