to short.
Made all the odder as he was on the receiving end of a 'potential career-ender' at Watford.
Its all about risk , do you risk Knocky getting stroppy , do you risk Knocky not turning in a performance as has happened so many times in the last two seasons.
Its a balance between the risk Knocky doing something outstanding & winning the game V the risk he does something stupid & loses us the game.
Is there anyone who will do a better job ..... so many if's & maybe's but for me personally I would stick with Ali J on the right & either Wizzy Izzy or March on the left.
If Knockys mind is correct & only CH can judge that then a place on the bench at best would be my choice.

I didn't say that at all, I want knocky to start today. My comment had nothing to do with ak, our position in the league, brighton, or the fa. I just disagree that anyone should always play the best starting 11 irrespective of discipline.

You mentioned a career ending challenge so I assumed.
As a fan I'm annoyed travelling to an away game to watch our team play without our best player because they were naughty on the coach and been dropped for disciplinary reasons. Manage it differently.
Always play your strongest team!

no i'm saying play him we need to win .......there have been numerous tackles as bad as knocky's snodgrass just took moura out ., joirghino's tackle nearly cut the other player in half.....they both got yellows.....we have had a very raw deal from officials this season.

Are you really comparing that Snodgrass challenge to Knocky's?? Not even close!
Agree we have had a raw deal from refs though.
I wouldn't play him - too much a risk for me (as much for him getting stroppy and switching off/trying to do too much himself than getting sent off). I'd play March and Izzy.
Roy Keane wouldn't have had much of a career if Fergie had thought like that.
Re the OP. It's clear that starting AK is a risk. But I think we need to take some risks today.

Put him in the curry
If he does start i may have a few pennies on him scoring , he will have been told in no uncertain terms he is walking a very thin line , god willing he will respond with a lung busting performance hopefully with a end product , there's one thing you can't deny , taking away his sometimes volatile temperament is that he cares and loves this club .

the Fulham keeper has just given us a massive leg up......the stage is set , we gotta win this game and we stay up , simples. boxing gloves on ...!!
I think those of us wanting March and Knockaert to start were proven correct tonight.
Totally bizarre starting 11.
