My choice too.
Based on the fact that none of yesterdays team will be in the starting eleven tomorrow, your selection has to right.

[DukeTyrion]

Not that it makes a huge difference, but doesn't Brede tend to play as the left of the 2 centre backs?

[FPT]

Briggs has been injured all season with (I believe) a hernia. If he was fit, I think he would have played every game under Rene Meulensteen, but hey ho.

--------------Stekelenburg
Riether----Hangeland----Burn----Richardson
Dejagah----Sidwell----Parker----Kacaniklic
---------------Dempsey
---------------Berbatov

After his performance yesterday, I was tempted to put Mujo behind Berbatov, but with one days rest, might as well play Clint.

[FPT]

1. It does make a big difference, but that's too big a debate for me to be bothered to go into.
2. Yes he does, but Dan Burn is left footed, it would be more unnatural for Burn to move to the right hand side (especially with his inexperience at the top level) so Brede moves on the right.

Not when he's playing with Burn

hope dempsey doesn't start. doesn't deserve it after that terrible performance vs arsenal.

[JBH]

I agree but as kasami (who would be my choice) played yesterday I would expect dempsey to start

I'm surprised that so many of you pick Kara for the bench but not Kasami. Certainly the Ancient Greek needs Tuesday off after slogging his aged bones through the Yorkshire mud.

Absolute waste of space. Sure he was a good player 2 seasons ago but not any use to us now.

[JackyFulham90]

+1.  Dude has been awful and I hate it because i love the guy

[filham]

We are more or less all selecting the same players, are we beginning to see a real 1st team emerging after months of chopping and changing.

We are all selecting Dempsey but lets hope he can return to his old form, we haven't see a great performance from him so far.

[Zu-Meister]

Still think we need one holding midfielder whose sole responsibility is to protect back four.

[Cravenawin]

I'd put Taarabt in for Dempsey. He only played for 20 mins yesterday so won't be tired.

[Vinnieffc]

Kasami over Dempsey. The Woodie has gone and his heart ain't in it. Send him back to Muscle Bound Small Bikini Beach FC to get him off the wage bill and use players like Kasami and Kaca who fully deserve and want the shirt.

same that started arsenal game..
