They looked like they were playing together for the first time ever, and none of them were fully match fit
But then to me, it again begs the question why not go with what we know. Coutinho and Sterling either side of Balotelli. Lucas, Gerrard and Hendo CM. Then you've got five familiar players and one striker. The only thing I can think of is he underestimated Villa, but then I cant imagine he would considering we frequently draw or lose to them at home.
The sentiment I understand, although we both know it's bollocks. Brendan isn't going to send 3 'unfit' players out to lead the line.
The 'disjointed' side I fully agree, and mentioned it a few pages previously.
Fuck the 'resting' of players, full strength side out please, every game. Those that are 'prone' to niggles, bring them off after an hour when the game is won, not bring them on at the hour when we need to rescue it.
