Lets clear a few names up - Nelsen is injured (although played with painkiller against Fulham), Grella has done his Hammy, Andrews/ Dunn & Roberts are all still out injured!

As for Liganzi - think its abit soon for him to start yet, same with Morris.

Linganzi looked good v Norwich, although against an inferior team he looked energetic and calm in possession, and i think he deserves a game alongside Nzonzi. Look at it from the view that its either him or a waster like Emerton or even Pedersen, who was woeful at the weekend and should be dropped.

Id like to use the opportunity to give Kalinic a partner, if Nzonzi and Linganzi start in midfield we can afford an extra striker and we could give Benjani a game, Kalinic and a targetman could get the best out of him.

i'm presuming you meant definately not on the tele?

Yep that's what I meant :D

Was up in a helicopter today and I think it made my head spin a bit (got a headache!)

Though someone told me it was being broadcast live the other day, was very disappointed to find that wasn't the case.

After the game we can see if the selection worked or not. Having said that my initial impression looking at that side is that if Sam thinks this is a winnable competition and chance to get into Europe then why haven't we put a stronger side out? Why didn't we start with our strongest side try and secure the win then make a few changes to key players?

4-5-1?

the way it's written makes it sound like:

Bunn

Chimbonda Nelsen Givet Olsson

Emerton NZonzi Jones Pedersen Hoilett

Benjani

However I would hope it might be:

Bunn

Emerton Nelsen Givet Chimbonda

Hoilett NZonzi Jones Pedersen Olsson

Benjani
