Thomas in because Kristiansen is unwell

[Swarles Barkley]

Our championship side would beat this side

[adam]

The midfield worked well against man city. Shame to have ayew in there slowing things up.

[Tuna]

Team is ok as there are no other options!

Would rather have Bounanotte in there though.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Gonna get battered in the fruit salad kit, 1 year old daughter already sobbing with that line up

[Globalfox]

Ayew back in I don’t get we looked so much livelier with Buono in the side.

That’s such a bad starting 11 isn’t it?

 

I hated Cooper and his obsession with PL dross aka “PL experience”, which is why our squad is as bad as it is BUT will there be a worst starting 11 in the PL this weekend?

Really looking forward to Ayew slowing everything down, making the wrong decisions and then fouling the opposition player.

Ayew over Facundo? WTAF?!!

[EastAnglianFox]

I thought Mads was touch and go to play about 3 weeks ago

[Lad1966]

Why Ayew😡😡😡😡

We always make things worse with our team selections. We’ve lost before we even started!!!😡😡😡

[Ric Flair]

Extremely disappointed in how he's handling Bounanotte, just bizarre. I wouldn't mind if this was because Fatawu or a competent right winger was keeping him out but I presume it's the defensive issue which Ayew is equally as poor at helping out as he can't run.

As long as Jordan scores I won’t care. Facundo can come on and do his stuff later on.

Bizarrely I read 4:45 and thought that’s what I’ve just spent that on a hotdog at Ikea

To be fair, Mads, Fatawu and Ndidi are all injured. 2 start straight away. 

[adejo92]

Thomas coming in is a forced move, I get it, but Ayew straight back in is shocking.

 

 

[Matt]

Nah **** off.

It’s absolutely mental! 

[CWLCFC]

Honking line-up, Ayew over Buonanotte is shocking.

[Edingleyfox]

Villa are strong physically in midfield whether that is why Ayew is in I don’t know. Really wanted the front 4 from

last week as it gives Villa more to worry about
