"All of the players are desperate to play in this game, which is a big problem for me but a nice one," he said. "I was listening to the radio on the way home yesterday and I heard everyone talking about our options in attack.
"One guy said he would play with Crouch and Bellamy. Then he was asked about Fowler and Kuyt, and agreed they would be good options too. Maybe I should ask if I can play four strikers in this situation?
"I know all of them want to play, but I've told them there are 60 games in a season and they will all have their chance.
"It's better for me, but it's also more difficult to make a decision, but I must think about the team. It's important all the players understand this."
