Sod width, creativity and pace as we're banging in goals like they're going out of fashion.

That does not look particularly great. We need to be so much better than we have been.

I’ll predict it now 1-0 down after 70 minutes Everton close up shop subs make nooooooooo impact. Joke of a line up.

Here's hoping Emi B and Lamare have good games.

Ok with Bogarde, not so much Buendia.

Elliot should have started, Emery seems timid to throw people in.

It's pretty much what I'd have gone for.

That’s a very strong bench.

Why wouldn’t you have gone with Elliott?

Buendia vs Everton is a bit like Sarr vs us isn't he?  Seems to do well against them.

Other than that, the lineup is more of the same plodding walking football that creates the square root of jack shit. Sigh.

Midfield looks weak without Boubacar but can't be helped I guess.

Bench looks a lot stronger, I think we'll need them after Everton going one up early in the second half then shutting up shop.

He never really understood Emery’s reluctance to throw good players in from the start. I get the whole structure, system etc. but good players are good players. Bogarde is a decent no nonsense player. But he’s not a starting PL option when you look at what’s on our bench. Buendia was the only player vs Palace who came away with any kind of credit for his performance so less issue there. But in reality he’s a squad player too. Anyway, we have options on the bench now and in a week or two, Kamara, Onana, Barkley hopefully will be back also.

I know Emery doesn't like negativity but thats a very Conservative starting team. All those attacking players we have and we start with McGinn and Buendia in forward positions.

Yes we have a strong bench but I would rather be proactive rather than reactive.

It’s a conservative line up to stop them from playing, keep it tight and hit on the counter or win it late on. It’s not a go for it line up for a team that needs to go for it. Scoring a goal will be useful.
