I am just appalled at the lack of options there are to make up a half-decent starting xi. Every time I try to put together a potential line up I realise we have an absolutely diabolical defence and no midfield at all.
I'd go for this against Brighton, even though I think the team will struggle.

Coleman Holgate Gibson Baines
Baningame Davies Delph
Kean Gordon Richarlison
Players need to be shown they are replaceable and their performances will not be tolerated. I am specifically pointing out Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, Delph, Mina, Keane, Walcott, even Digne and Pickford for their shambolic efforts this season, and Sidibe who is very hot and cold. We have to play some of them as we literally have nobody else, but if now isn't time to blood some of the best-performing under 23s, when is?
I'd get Feeney, Broadhead and Simms in the squad too.
