I can see a lot for Frank to ponder about as we approach the resumption of our League campaign when it starts at Villa, with the biggest headache looking to be, who to pick in central midfield.
At the start of the season it was a relatively simple selection with Jorge, Kante, and Kova (looking a contender for player of the season), with Barkley to call upon if necessary.
Six months later and Billy Gilmour has broken into the team, with two man of the match performances, and looking undropable. He's followed that up today with a brace in the 7-1 demolition of QPR, in which RLC also apparently had a good game, notching a brace himself.
It's a headache I'm sure Frank is glad to have but picking three out of Jorge, Kante, Kova, Gilmour and RLC going give him a lot to think about I feel.
Midfield headache for Frank?

TLLL’s team looks right. RLC appears ready to make an impact off the bench now. Kante probably needs a bit more time to get match-ready without risking further injury.
Who knows what the defence will be.

inconsistent probably

Mount and Kovacic have been excellent, but that’s just the team I would pick right now. I believe Jorginho is suspended for this one game - is that right? Either way, I’m interested to see what Frank will do. These are great problems to have.

They're all way off match fitness, they haven't played a competitive game for 3 months!

Good to see Cmf again
Not as much of a headache from my prospective for Villa, but may turn into one down the road. Has to be a three man mid of Gilmour-Kovacic-Mount. The only debatable one would've been Gilmour only because the break stopped his momentum, but Jorginho's suspension gives him to chance to start it up again.
I wouldn't want to be Lampard once Ziyech, Werner & possibly Havertz come into this team. That's a talent pool & a half.
