Too many changes, Ben will be fine to play again. I played two 90 min matches in 3 days as semi pro I think Ben Davies a Premier League footballer will cope.I just saw that. I had no idea. I’d just replace Rose with KWP.
Might be playing their kids.from West Ham forum.
Reece - twisted ankle
Cresswell - Back Injury
Ginge - Unsure what injury
Fonte - long term
Byram - Thigh Strain
Fernandes- Long term -ankle injury
Antonio- Calf strain
Sakho - cyst on his knee
Ahew - Hamstring
Plus Carroll may have over-excreted himself now so needs another rest.
West ham are likely to bank up and sit deep so if we play a right footer on the left it's only going to play into their hands.
And if (assuming Rose is injured) we play Davies at LWB, 48 hours after he sprinted up and down a quagmire at Swansea, he will get injured and we will have to play a right footer there for the next month. Aurier has shown that he can be quite effective at LWB and does not always cut inside as most right footed LBs tend to do (and Trippier did when he played at LB for us)
Swap GKN for Sissoko and you might not be far off.
Vorm, Trippier, KWP, Dier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Llorente
Davies is going to have to play again in such a short space of time this season regardless as Rose is out anyway, we can't leave a player out because they 'might' get injured. Eriksen and Dele played last night and will play again on Thursday, what if they get injured? I'd sooner play Vertonghen at LB, at least he keeps the width and stretches the pitch which is something that is needed against a bus parker.

I assume one of Eriksen/Dele/Son will be rested with Lamela, so it's not a completely inexperienced team in the FA Cup.Swap GKN for Eriksen more like.

Son is unplayable at Wembley, he must start.
