Yeah, it's a bit unreasonable to ask Kamara to up his performances from his current "one of the best midfielders in the league" level.

Need Kamara to up his performances. Starting tomorrow. Starting to rack up the level of players with muscle injuries. Mings, not sure he was fully warmed up at Liverpool. The rest like Barkley, interrupted pre season, Torres, unsure, and Onana, standard unfortunately. Cash, Kamara, Maatsen is three fresh starters and McGinn only played a half.
Apart from Man Utd, I think Kamara has been really good in virtually every game.

Completely outplayed at Chelsea anyway and not hectic at West Ham either.

Have you ever considered that you might be a bit negative?

Recent performances havent been great hence the need to up it a bit.

He has been slightly more susceptible to making errors (one important turnover vs ManU springs to mind, for example), but I think that reflects the fact that he’s playing with more depth and so at times, in riskier parts of the pitch (by way of illustration, the one vs one against Chelsea).

I agree his level of performance recently have dropped a notch. He’s still very good at that level mind. I expect him to be right on it tomorrow.

Maybe the breather against Arsenal might do him the world of good

We’ve definitely had worse Christmas results.

I for one am glad bronte’s finally stopped being so much of a happy clapper tbh.

I'm going to this game, first time in donkeys. Coming from the North West so hoping all those rail replacement buses from Lancaster work out.

Surely even with no Onana or Pau we should keep them at arm's length. What's Unai's record vs Dycheball teams?

3-0 Villa, the backlash begins here, we start our brand new run of wins, get comfortable in the game and throw on our new Brazilian signing, early days yes, but we won't really know ( forget about these so called South American experts straight out of London town) what he's about and how he handles the Premiership until he gets out their and struts his stuff, of course he may not be ready and it may need Unai to bring him on slowly on the other hand he may eat it up and be made for it, football is a strange beast, you just don't know, throw him in the deep end see if he swims or paddles.

I think Kamara has been conscious of being on four bookings for a little while. Until that kind Mr Attwell put him out of his misery.
