Had a choice between starting Romero, Digne, or Saliba. Thus far it looks like I made the right choice with Romero.

  Not seen him play full match before only highlights. Rather underwhelming against a defensive block. Very little off the ball running as far as I can tell with limita of tv.

After tsimi played 90 in carabao Cup I was worried about the benching so not surprised

Just caps off horror GW with bowen my only return from 8 players, can't see my triple villa getting anything
Just Salah & Son to go & Gabriel or tsimi 1 pointer

  Wouldn't be surprised if Tsimikas benching is tactical. Small pitch, Liverpool will have more of the ball and be compact. Gomez better suited.

I have 2 players that play for teams that got/have CS... both aren't playing. Turner and Reguilon (started both). I also brought in Tsimikas this GW. Went Reguilon over Tsimikas when Tsimikas was the obvious choice 2GWs ago.

GW from hell..

  Potentially doing Digne to Lascelles myself, may just do Kabore to him instead given Villa have Fulham next week but knowing them they'll concede then too
