West Coast coach Adam Simpson has been left with two headaches this week, and neither are an easy fix.Simpsons first headache is how to replace star ruckman Nic Naitanui - both this season and next.His second dilemma is finding a way to stop the Crows star-studded forward line in Friday nights crunch clash at Adelaide Oval.Scott Lycett will lead the ruck against the Crows, while the Eagles flew back-up options Mitch Brown and Jonathan Giles to Adelaide.Simpson says fans will have to wait until team selection on Thursday night before discovering what ruck combination hell use against the Crows.But finding a longer-term solution to replace Naitanui has also been on Simpsons mind.Simpson has brought forward a list-management meeting to discuss the clubs options.And although the third-year coach isnt willing to name names just yet, luring homesick GWS big man Rory Lobb to the Eagles could be a viable option.But for the moment Simpson is focusing on the Crows.Sixth-placed West Coast need to win Fridays match in order to secure a home final.If they lose, the Eagles will likely slip to seventh - consigning them to an away elimination final.Adelaide are the best attacking side in the competition, averaging 115 points per game.Eddie Betts has led the way with 65 goals, while Josh Jenkins (59), Taylor Walker (43), Tom Lynch (36) and Mitch McGovern (29) have also been important contributors.West Coast were sublime in nullifying Hawthorns midfield strengths last week, and Simpson knows theyll need to do a similar job if they are to cut off supply to Adelaides star-studded attack.Theyve got the toughest forward line in the comp to play against, Simpson said.Theyre all dangerous.Some experts have written off West Coasts flag chances in the wake of Naitanuis season-ending knee injury.But Simpson thinks otherwise, despite Naitanuis recent heroics against GWS and Hawthorn.Theres been a lot of negative talk on the back of Nic and the fact that our season is over and next season is over because hes not going to be available, Simpson said.I dont buy into that.Ill be really disappointed if we cant advance any further without Nic.Itd be ridiculous of me to think that we cant win without and our players dont believe that either.The Crows will be without suspended midfielder Rory Sloane for Fridays match.

He also scored a couple when he was at Southampton so hopefully he can get another one on Wednesday. Dejan Lovren celebrates his late winner against Dortmund Nathanial Clyne - Hes playing for his place in Roy Hodgsons side and has been the one former Saint who has really performed consistently since joining Liverpool.ddddddddddddamadou Sakho - Im putting all my eggs in the clean sheet basket here. Sakho was also on the scoresheet against Dortmund so fingers crossed hell do so again.Roberto Firmino - Im a bit surprised hes not one of the Elite Players, having scored nine and set up seven this season, and Id be very surprised if hes not in most teams. Fantasy Six-A-Side points scoring breakdown Paul Mersons teamDaniel Sturridge - Hes top drawer and I still think hes the best English forward when he is on his day.Divock Origi - He has been getting better and better and Id like to see Klopp play both Sturridge and Origi and really have a good go.Adam Lallana - He makes things happen and Im hoping hell be able to create plenty of chances, while has also got goals in him. April schedule Roberto Firmino - He is Liverpools top goalscorer because he gets himself in lots of scoring positions and tends to take his chances.James Milner - He does what it says on the tin week-in-week out and Ill be relying on him to complete plenty of passes and create a few chances.Simon Mignolet - Le Tiss has been clever in loading his team with defenders as Everton are probably going to field a weakened side. Ill be hoping that its a goal fest, but the smart money would be on Liverpool keeping a clean sheet.Who makes your VI?
