Degen's out for four weeks according to .tv
So, it's a big decision for Rafa: push Carra over to RB and have Sami partner Agger or blood Darby. The former's the safer option and Sami will be great for dealing with Bolton's Route 1 style. But, I kind of hope that Rafa gives the young lad a game. With Carra next to him and Kuyt in front of him, he should have plenty of help and we might just get a sense of how close he is to breaking through.
I don't think this is the game to be gambling Bob. Bolton may not be the team they were but they are still a threat at home. I can think of better games to give Darby his chance. I would play safe and go with Hyypia, and the more I think about it, I would probably go with only the one upfront too. Maybe that one depends on just how sharp Torres is in training though.

Totally agree with you on the keeper front - Loads went for cheap this summer - Schwarzer and Freidal to name two and think Niemi was a free to somewhere - the prob is they would know coming to us they would be second choice and no one will replace pepe so would of been hard for anyone to come - only other thing would of been to promote martin to back up as he looks solid .
Degen - guess got to give him a chance but just seems fragile so no matter how good he is or isnt is no bloody use . did seem good going forward but poor defending - that might of been down to lack of playing
Dossena- i hope its just a confidence with him as he is playing for italy at the moment so he must have something about him and at some points has looked ok but wed was a shocker.
