Whilst that would require a change to the formation, I think that has to be managed to play him. I would also keep Harper on the bench regardless of other player availability; as much as I love him Brunt would drop out to make way for Harper as I think we need some younger legs. Having Brunt come on to replace either Hoolahan or Morrison would not, in my view, help as much as a youthful Harper.
Good points. For me, because of Gayle’s injury, I think his first match back from injury should be a 20-30 minute cameo off the bench so as not to risk an immediate recurrence of the injury.
Harper or Brunt is definitely a very difficult decision. Brunt’s experience or Harper’s youthful energy?
