    Well that explains why he's looked so sluggish. Nice to know he'll be returning 5-10kg lighter.

    So who goes up front then? Jelavic to start, Ben Arfa in behind perhaps?

    Looks like it's Ben Arfa or Aluko to sit behind Jela - unless Brucey wants Quinny to do his Cup final busy-bee thing again.

    (Note to tablet: when I type Quinny I mean Quinny. Not Quincey.)

    So what is the general opinion on Ben Arfa then ? Should he be starting games ?

    I'd have left him on against Spurs, he was about our only attacking threat before he was pulled.

    Stick with the 4-4-2

    McGregor
    Rosey Dawson Davies Robertson
    Elmo Diame Livermore Brady
    Ben Arfa Jelavic


    Rosey at RB gives us a bit more defensively.

    I would imagine it'll be the same starting 11 as against Spurs other than Diame in for Ramirez but whether Diame will play as advanced a role or the midfield will be reconfigured to push either Brady or Ben Arfa up in the hole, I'm not sure.

    Perhaps we could even go 4-3-3 when in possession reverting to 4-5-1 when not:


    McGregor
    Elmo Dawson Davies Robertson
    Livermore Huddlestone Diame
    Ben Arfa Jelavic Brady

    switching to:

    McGregor
    Elmo Dawson Davies Robertson
    Ben Arfa Livermore Huddlestone Diame Brady
    Jelavic

    I reckon having Elmo and Ben Arfa both on the right in an away game is asking for trouble....

    I think there's a chance that Huddlestone might be sacrificed for this one.

    I couldn't really argue if he was left out

    With either Rosie in and push Elmo forward or Chester as a direct replacement as a DCM?

    I agree.

    I also think SB might have an eye on the fact that both Livermore and Hudd are on 4 yellows.

    He'll want to reduce the risk of both them being suspended together.

    We need to do something to appease the Gods, maybe sacrificing a player will work, shame we couldn't do it on Black Friday

    I agree, this looks good to me, but I am not sure whether he will leave Huddlestone out.

    I think the only change from Spurs will be Diame in for Ramirez. We were comprehensively beating Spurs with 11 men so why change?

    I wouldn't change any more than we have to. We played our best team and played well last week. Changing it now to something completely different would be mental.

    Either Diame in for Ramirez, or maybe bring in Rosenior, move Elmo to right wing and Ben Arfa in behind. Diame seems perfect for the Ramirez position to me, but he moaned about playing anywhere other than CM for West Ham so I dunno how he'd take it.

    Either way Hernandez won't be missed; Jelavic on his own at the top of a 4-2-3-1 was the best option anyway.
