I agree. Rice deserves to start ahead of Kouyate and Andy must be exhausted. Not a good idea to risk over-playing him - save him for a late charge if needed and keep him fresh for Shrewsbury and the other vital January games. Start with either Ayew or Chicharito playing deeper letting Arnie roam up top.Jedi Al Khalaas wrote:I would start with Hernandez , and bring carrol to wreak havoc for last Half hour
i also like idea of Noble and Rice in Midfild and Kouyate in defence to replace Cresswell.
I am hoping Zabaleta can do 2 matches in 3 days !
And someone needs to tell Reid to pass to a West Ham player instead of lumping it or Spurs will kill us.
