Can you please use some common sense and start your best midfield players? Thank you.

So if we play Ramsey & Costa instead of Khedira and Federico we pose more attacking threat, create chances and score more goals? Wow... get your shit together.
Can was pretty good as well.

You watch next game Costa and Ramsey wont start

On the negative side we looked pretty stagnant and all around bad for 60 minutes.
On the plus side when we played with Ramsey and Costa it was different. Costa is an absolute must if hes fit. Completely changes the game
Even the most casual viewers can notice this so I wonder what is Sarri's reasoning to start Federico and Khedira in every match? Are Costa and Ramsey still not fully fit, have some niggling injuries? The line up with 3 central midfielders and one trequartista that cant pass, shoot or dribble struggles to impose our game on opponents, every time. Once he subs them out, we start playing football.

Things got better when Bentancur and Khedira went off. We actually attempted to play football and we stopped getting overrun.

His dismal team selection is nearly costing us every game. Luckily for us he keeps getting his subs spot on and Higuain had a monstrous last 20 mins. Otherwise I have no idea how we didn’t lose this game comfortably. Atalanta were miles better than us for a good 60-65 mins and should have been up by 3 goals.

A win is a win so I’ll cease my criticism of him for now.

I dont think hes not starting Costa because he thinks Costa is not good enough, probably prefers to ease him in slowly, we're fucked if Costa gets injured again

What part of his team selection was dismal today, which guys he shouldve started?

And I do not hope this is another reason because Costa clearly has to start, but bringing Costa off the bench against tired defenders (especially today's as there was no way Atalanta could press for 90 minutes) is a major asset.
