I think you will all agree that Next Thursday is our cup final!
We are not going to get into Europe through our league position after all we are 6pts behind West Ham. So what shall we do? Looking at our injury/ worn out players (in need of a rest!) situation.
Given – has been brilliant but could do with a rest! After all if he gets injured Hart will be well out of practise
Defence- Richards, Dunne, Ned should be “ok†Bridge went off injured again McGiven try him!
Midfield - SWP, Ireland – rest – Kompany hope he is fit in time?
Strikers? Bellamy injured! , Benjani injured! Robbo – drop/ rest!
Team to play on Sunday, given above; (and if any of them come through well play them next week)
Hart
Richards, Dunne, Ned, McGiven
Etuhu, De Jong, (can’t play Thursday but will anchor) Fernandes, Petrov, (give him a start nothing to lose!)
Evans, Sturridge
Subs Kasper, Mee, Garrido ( can cover LB+LW) Clayton, Elano, Caicedo, D Ball ( not may strikers left!
I believe the above makes sense?
Or shall we play everybody who is not fit and lose both games?
