ZAT KNIGHT

 

Centre-back

Bolton

 

Knight gets the nod over Everton's Phil Jagielka because he saw off Carlton Cole, Frederic Piquionne and Demba Ba all in one afternoon. Knight has been a silent force at the Reebok alongside Gary Cahill and he made a couple of superb interventions to thwart the Hammers. Solid performance.

 

Did you know? Since his arrival, Bolton have not kept a clean sheet in any of the seven Premier League games in which he has been missing.

I think the fact Coyle didn't risk Wheater against the Hammers (being 1 booking away from suspension) and playing Knight, who then had a great game, gave Coyle a hell of a headache.

 

In a massive volte-face, OC will be going 3 cbs, 2 wingers, 3 in central difield, 2 upfront

 

And he's dropping Jussi

That would please someone

Maybe dropping wheater was more about giving Zat some playing time before the semi seeing as he is a first choice Centre Half. Wheater not being able to get booked was an added advantage......

drop Cahill
