Kouyate out for six weeks
Just when it seemed to be going well again we learn that Cheikhou Kouyate is out for six weeks having picked up a groin injury against Liverpool. So our midfield diamond goes more pear-shaped. One option would be for Noble to move back to a more defensive role alongside Song and to bring in Morgan Amalfitano who looked very comfortable on the ball when he came on as a sub against the Reds. Zarate could start again, though Diego Poyet is another possibility, as is Matt Jarvis when fit. At least the squad looks a lot stronger than last year.

I'd love a settled side, 1985/86 style. A real shame about kouyate, hope he didn't make it worse by staying on for the last few minutes, although all the subs were on by then...
Yes, the only injury I can recall in 86 was when Alvin Martin missed two games and Diego Hilton deputised and was actually quite good!
