With us playing Spurs on the weekend, Sir Michael will probably want to rotate his squad a little. Bearing in mind Thursdays match is also extremely important, what team would you pick? (including subs)
----------------- Tremmel ------------------ ---------- Chico -------- Amat ------------- Jazz ---------------------------------- Taylor ---------------------- Britton --------------- ---------------- Ki --------------------------- Hernandez------- Pozuelo -------Routledge -------------------- Bony -------------------- Subs; Vorm, Davies, Monk, Canas/De Guzman, Michu, Lamah, Donnelly. Chico needs match fitness, Amat needs practice as the left centre-back, Jazz needs to prove himself, Taylor needs match fitness, Ki needs 90 minutes, Hernandez needs match fitness, Pozuelo needs 90 in his favoured position, Routledge needs to play himself into some form, Bony needs more time with his new team mates. If things went to plan we'd be at least 2 up by the hour and I'd bring on; Donnelly for Bony (Bony needed Sunday and Donnelly deserves half an hour), Lamah for either Routledge or Hernandez (whoever plays better should start on the left Sunday and Lamah needs minutes), De Guzman (depends on fitness) or Monk (both need match practice) If things are tougher than expected I could bring Michu off the bench to grab a winner, Canas into midfield to try and protect a lead, If Jazz has a mare I could bring on Davies and switch Taylor over to the right. If things were tight but Bony was looking tired you could switch Pozuelo up front and play De Guzman or Michu in behind.

We have no idea who these guys are. Are they Malmo or Reading or more Prem level. I think Terrorwit's team is as good as any other. I have confidence in Jazz. After the way he tailed off against United Dyer would not be in my line up. If still around I'd like to see what Lamah can really do. Ash needs time in the stands to clear his head and look at what his competition can do.
If things are going well at half time, get KI on and Donnelly could we worth the risk and give him some much needed 1st team experience.
