Who will replace Danny at the centre of the park in the next round?

[Brede Butter Pudding]

I gather that a red card for 'violent conduct' in the Europa League is a 3 match ban which is a real shame as Danny was absolutely magnificent tonight and did himself proud. I was wondering however who will replace him now that he is banned? I presume Dickson will start in CM alongside maybe Greening? We need someone with similar creativity to Danny so probably Greening alongside Baird or Dickson, or maybe even Clinto if he's back in time. What do you think?

[Yarden]

I for one would like to see Gera in that role and play Zamora and Elm upfront

[Brede Butter Pudding]

Ah yeah good call, definitely a possibility

[clintclintdeuce]

I personally believe Clint will be back for the next round, and will be involved at some point. I would go with Greening if he isnt.

Sorry but Gera is too weak on the ball and wastes possesion too easily. He may work there against a 'lower ranked' team but not top class opposition.
I think our best option is Greening from the squad we have

[fulhamguy]

Noooooooooo not Gera in the middle, not composed enough.

We're a better team with Gera just behind Sir Bobatov.

[Brede Butter Pudding]

I reckon Woy will go for Greening ahead of anyone else, with Gera playing behind Bobatov

[fulhamguy]

That's what I'd do.

[Brede Butter Pudding]

Anyone reckon Clint will be back by then, or is he supposed to be out for a good while yet?

[Mr Fulham]

I think it'll be Greening or even Dikgacoi, who may be back to face Juve.

[RidgeRider]

Jesus will deliver us.

[Brede Butter Pudding]

God will shine his light no doubt about it. And is it true about Danny only missing one game? If so, it's not such a disaster

[Tom]

Greening (aka Jesus) or  Dikgacoi if he is back healthy or even Davies. I don't think Clint will be back for the next round unless it starts in April.

[fulhamguy]

Is KG registered for Europe?

[Rambling_Syd_Rumpo]

Jesus will sort it ;D

[Jimpav]

Greening would be the obvious candidate but as he is on 4 yellows he is just one card away from a one match ban. Play him in Torino and will be out for the return leg - guaranteed.

[GoldCoastWhite]

We've got midfield options now with Riise, Greening and Baird so not a disaster losing Smurf. has Simon Davies ever played centrally (if Clint isn't an option) ? He's certainly got the experience and vision but might be a bit lightweight defensively but might offer another option under Roy's tutelage and surprise us all yet again.

[NorfolkJim]

I think we'll use Greening but it worries me that against an Italian side we might see another Red for our Jesus

Oh geeze!!!

[HatterDon]

On the road, I'd pair Baird with Etuhu. Home leg, I'd pair Simon with Etuhu. With both our starting FBs injured, Danny picked a poor time to have a mega brain fart.

Judging by the "quality" of his football yesterday at Sunderland, perhaps he just wanted a few matches off.
