Is our 2nd 11 better than our 1st 11?

[tim cahill]

Looking at the 11 we started on Sunday:

Pickford
Kenny
Jagielka
Williams
Baines
Gueye
Davies
Lennon
Mirallas
Rooney
DCL

I don’t think we would be particularly weakened by playing our 2nd 11:

Robles
Martina
Keane
Holgate
(erm...)Garbutt
Beni
Schneiderlin
Lookman
Vlasic
Sigurdsson
Niasse

Note that this isn’t including long term injuries Coleman, Bolasie, Barkley and Funes Mori.

And it’s still a struggle to fit in players like Sandro, Klassen, McCarthy and Besic.

I’ve probably forgotten someone...

Thoughts?

It would be the worst game of football of all time if they ever played each other.

..it’s looking increasingly like it doesn’t matter which X1 starts. It’s like moving deckchairs on the Titanic.

Remember when people were doing these in the summer to show what incredible strength in depth we had? Now we're trying to decide which players are worse.
