Dawson and King no eachother's game inside out. Losing Kaboul is a blow but Dawson and King together has always been an excellent partnership for us so I don't see that as a problem. As much as I wrote Kranjcar off in January, he came in and did well against Wigan and I think I'll be happily proven wrong again tonight. If Saha ends up our only fit striker with VDV out too then obviously that will be a big problem but I'd expect atleast Adebayor to start.
Kaboul is a loss but Dawson and King are the mainstay of the meanest defence (goals conceded) that I remember. For me though, Lennon is the standout ommission. Without him we cannot pull their defence about in the usual way. Still think we'll shade it though. Just.
I think Kaboul being out is a much bigger blow than Lennon. I'd actually prefer Sandro playing to Lennon tonight anyway, but Kaboul is our best CB these days, better than King for me.
The Mousers seem to think that Walker is out, is this true? If so do you think we might be seeing Livermore at right-back tonight?
I thought Allen or someone said that he trained yesterday so will be fine. Enrique's having a fitness test though.
Oh, and maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake, but why the hell have all our profiles been reset to 'level 1'? I was an inch away from level 20 and was planning a dramatic change of username to mark the occasion! Mods- whats the deal???
