WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE ALLARDYCE REALIZE THAT WE DONT WANT SMITH IN CENTRAL MIDFIELD?

A manager who keeps using Smith in midfield can only be described as "hopeless"..........

I am from Hong Kong, one of the few Newcastle United fans here 

Smith has linked up with his team mates extremely well so far.

It has become very obvious that Alan Smith should play for us as a striker rather than a midfielder........hope Big Sam agrees.

it's very obvious that we were a much better team when Zoggy and Milner played on LW and RW respectively after Enrique came on......

is it me only or does anyone agree that our players (apart from Smith) didnt bother to celebrate with the goal scorers?? I got this impression not only in this game, but from the previous games in this season too. i like the way arsenal and man utd celebrate their goals with virtually the entire team celebrating together.

great day anyways, should treat myself several pints.

Smith should never play in RM again........

i like the no-nonsense approach of Cacapa

we are SHIT in the first 15 mins.........

Understand your concern. It's a nice to problem to have though, and it will be a big test of Big Sam's management skills in keeping everyone happy.

Well impressed with the interview alan smith has just given.

what did he say??

martins does not look effective there

agree. he looks much more comfortable in a 4-4-2 formation

Martins playing on the right of a forward three?

looks like:

geremi - butt - smith

martins - shola - milner

fecking play-acting by the samdoria player........commentator: now i know why he wears a headband  mackems.gif

sounds silly, but I can't tell whether we are playing 4-3-3 or 4-4-2??? is Geremi swtiched to right midfield??

haha Smithy said "feck off" twice to the linesman

Harper will come on for Given apparently

1-0 Man U v chelsea, ryan giggs

Very weak team fielded by Chelsea there

Love that! Geremi and Smith tackling a sad Italian at the same time

anyone shares the view that Butt isnt quite fit today?

Viduka nearly scored!!

So for people like me who can't watch or listen to the game, how have Smith and Viduka fared?

Some good touches and ball holding skills from Viduka........Smith has been quiet.

Expecting more from Smith/Viduka.......

I am watching ESPN, and the commentators said that Geremi has been made skipper for this season???

 

How are u watching it on espn?

what espn? asia? north america, fill me in please!

I am watching in a bar in Hong Kong........sorry I THINK its ESPN, perhaps I am wrong. Very small tv here so not sure. Will confirm if I can later.

i think its official that Zoggy should not play at left back again
