For me the only debates are RB and CF, otherwise that's about as good as we can put out at present. And i'd have gone for Bogey over Garcia. I would have started Tammy though. Might have put a bit of fire into Ollie to be rotated.

Could and should have moved Konsa out there and brought Lindelof back into RCB. Bogarde looked a competition winner when he came on at RB v Chelsea.

Digne embarrassingly bad v Wolves. Ollie's recent form....Emery had different options in those three positions anyway.

Bogarde preferred to Garcia? Ok

Unai's in love with Lamare, it's sickening. Not anti-gay or 'owt, just don't get the preferential treatment. Bogarde is Brentford level.

It would be fascinating to learn the reason we bought Abraham.

Worse than Malen when starting on his own.

Expect lots of screams, hands over face and forty rolls with pathetic officiating.

At this moment in time, that makes him by far and away our best player then.

"Brentford level" for a young backup who is only going to get better is perfectly fine.

Buendia and Rogers need to massively improve from last few games. I guess Bogarde is more match for than Garcia.
Come on Ollie. Make this the game it clicks again.

Bogarde has had a mare at right back a few times, he’s a midfielder. Ollie god bless him, really? And Beundia hasnt played well throughout the horrendous run of form.
Glad Torres is in though

"Brentford level" = a club currently qualifying for Europe.

I was hoping to see Ross Barkley in for Buendia but he hasn't made the squad, is he injured?

He was injured when we named our European squad and we didn't add him in February so still ineligible now.

Thanks

Like it, resting Maatsen, Cash, SJM and Abraham for Old Trafford. An Elliott hat-trick to seal the win.

Sorry, meant Brentwood. Autocorrect. Nah, he's alright but a RB he ain't.

Garcia has hardly set the world alight in his appearances at RB so it's hardly a surprise he's gone with Bogey.
Tis to me
