Thomas being in three relegated squads in two and a half seasons of Premier League football is quite some accomplishment when you think about it.

Sheffield United lost most games 8-0 last season - Thomas unable to make that defence. Despite that, Their manager still didn't think it a better idea to play Thomas and got rid at Xmas.

Better defensively than FB. VK sick.

We concede regularly in this division anyway regardless .  Have a go at the opposition with our best attacking players

Surely hamza, faes or okoli or even skipp are better at full back than bloody Luke Thomas - that’s seriously up there with the Danny ward pick by ruud - he sat in stands at Brentford and watched that and still puts Thomas in - wowsers 

 

don’t even get me started on the ayew for facundo decision- that is absolutely pathetic - facundo must be absolutely fuming 

 

school boy stuff from ruud with wolves selection and now this 

 

after last week giving a slight chink of light and hope he puts that team out 

 

Im really starting to think he has no idea what he is doing 

Tbf Justin was at fault for every goal that game. How he’s picked that muppet again is more of my issue

Nothing less than a masterclass from Thomas today. Been gifted a start due to illness and lack of options!

 

If not...well terminate the conny cause I'm done being a charity for shite players.

Few Blades fans as mates and they say Thomas was horrific for them too

Only rationale is Ruuds expecting villa to come out the blocks and ayew can help mitigate the threat more effectively than buonannotte :dunno:.

 

Hopefully the games not already gone by the time he comes on.

Facundo was not great in the games before Man City, he did well against Man City though, but will just be content if he will have a game off and either come on late and be a difference maker, or come back next game and tear it up.

I love Facundo, but my god he gives the ball away so often so i get why away Ruud won't want to play Bilal and Facundo together. There really isn't anyone else to play other than Ayew. I think if Kasey is fit  he would have started today.

Don’t think our league one side would struggle

I'd probably fancy a 52-year-old Paul Dickov to bag against our defence.

Shall we all take a guess at what minute Luke Thomas gets out-muscled by a Villa player and it leads to a goal?

Kick off

Should be the team in my opinion. 

 

 

Not difficult is it?

You might as well start without a midfield, that formation is dreadful and we would be walked through with ease.

Makes me laugh that some of you lot on here don’t seem to take into account that Ruud has worked with the players all week and probably watched hours of recordings of how Villa play, and he has concluded the line up is the best he can put out to handle them.

But he is not picking my overrated favourite, the rotter!!!

Villa tuck McGinn and send Digne bombing forward so naturally we want Ayew to track him with all that work rate and pace he has over the unfit Buonanotte who barely runs, not like Ayew has cost us multiple goals by not tracking his full back this past month alone

Let's hope he's right and nearly everyone on here is wrong.

To not play Facundo, when he's been our best player apart from our overworked goalkeeper,  is madness

I think that makes it worse, not better. 

 

Punters in the stands who do zero research and have zero training know more than him

Because he's thought it multiple times and every time ayew puts out and absolute stinking performance?

I think you’ve got to work with you’ve got. He can’t help that VK is out but his weakest position by some distance is his defence. We do not have any player good enough to play in a back four at this level.

 

Working with you have is recognising that and switching to a back 3 with wing backs. Using Okoli, Faes, Hamza etc. all capable of brain farts but with the extra body to clean up. 
 

Working with the what you’ve got is not starting Thomas in a flat back four alongside 3 other out of form players and your second choice keeper.

 

This selection is actually massive for Ruud, I don’t think I’ll go we need him out after this but if it goes wrong, I can completely understand if others lose faith,
