Haven’t looked through the thread yet but now Emi is playing what’s on the agenda to have a good moan about?  Konsa?

No Chambers or Sanson is the general complaint.

Sanson one of those rare players who gets better the less he plays.

Not that rare among the fan message boards... 😆.  I think even Tonev and Makoun II "just needed a run of games" at some stage of their Villa tenures....

The line up shows Gerrard doesn't know what his starting 11 is. Buendia starting is what we all want to happen so let's hope we see what we've been hoping for. 

Most teams with a good squad don't have a "starting XI". We've been conditioned for years to believe squad players are simply there for injury and suspension cover.

We have a good squad, and they can't all play every game. We face different teams each week, so we can pick the best team for that game.

Just watching Spuds v Wolves and Bissouma and Richarlson came on late in the game, such is the power of their squad. We're able to bring Coutinho, Luiz and Ings on, which is amazing.

Why do you care about this? Cause it gives you something to moan about?

Don't think McGinn & Ramsey are a good fit but no complaints apart from that. Maybe they will click this time and we'll be able to have possession in the attacking 3rd, if not we should be dangerous on the counter.

On paper.

Konsa, Sanson and Ings, oh yeah, Ash is on the bench ahead of Freddie too

The Freddie and Sanson points are bit meh really. I think they'd give us better creativity and better solidity if options if they were on the bench. But it's a bit of a moot point.

Sticking with Konsa who was rubbish against Bournemouth and will have to cope with Edouard is a pending fail.

Luiz would give us a better chance of controlling the midfield, but he's gone with his let's attack and leave a big hole for Kamara to cover. Kind of worked against an atrocious Everton. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it works against Palace.

Yeah only change I'd make is one of McGinn or JJ for Luiz. Guess we'll have to see how we go.
