Well I think this week we saw two performances with Palmer and Mainoo that demonstrated just how much Tuchel got it wrong in his team selection over the summer.

Foden did alright too.
And so are you this week. I think McLaren may be heading to the first F1 podium

About time I started pulling my weight for the team!

Wasn't looking as rosy yesterday after Coventry conceded against Hull to break my Bench Boost and I hadn't captained Haaland! Patience is a virtue I'm trying to adopt a bit more this season.

if history is going to repeat itself, and it always does, you will continue to talk tripe (or should that be trap...).

And MGW, who has scored the most goals in the premier league this calendar year. But hey ho lets take that bellend henderson who's only contribution to the team was to trip over and break his arm or whatever he did.

Foden did alright too.
Or...

Those players are fresher from a summer's rest AND motivated by missing out

Yes, this.
Not sure I’d put Mainoo in the same bracket as Palmer/Foden. He’s good but I also understand why Tuchel opted for different CMs.

He’d have been more use than mascot/assistant coach Henderson.

Used to watch Villa from the end being rebuilt when I was a nipper. It was just an uncovered grass bank at the top in those days.

I guess that this evening shows us that Tzolis isn’t yet a good Saka replacement. Shame
