In the last couple of games Roeder has let Luque play in he has been better than Duff. He has done what he should do in the positions played i.e. score goals, get crosses in and track back. Duff on the other hand has only been capable of the latter. blueconfused.gif**note well; Luque hasn't had a run to get some "form" :confused:, unlike other underperformers** Had Luque not have slipped three or four times on thurs he would have had an outstanding game as he had the beating of his opponent on these occasions... Still don't think he does as much as he could but even at 75% he is better than duff has been in his last couple of games.

I think we should all pay for some private tuition so he can retake his english GCSE exam and come back and make our mornings more meaningful than ever before. Is he god? bluebiggrin.gif

After last night I'd go for the following: --------------Given----------------- Solano-----Bramble---Taylor---Zoggy Milner-----Parker----Butt----Luque ---------Dyer------------------- ------------------Martins--------- With Dyer playing in the hole and if Luque fannys about emre would replace him in the second half...

Solanao was excellent last night, really enjoyable to see someone bring the ball out of our defence intelligently and make some class interceptions aswell. Did get a bit too far upfield at times but a good 8/10 performance. Keep him there as he seems better than Carr (although I don't think he's as bad as people make out!).

I can't fault the lad for his effort and his heart when he plays, he gives everything, hats off to him for that. The problem is that he is no where near premiership standard and it sticks out a mile! Last night when he was "doubled" over trying to steer the right wingers "outside" was truly horrific, they saw this and ripped him apart coming inside every time as he couldn't get his balance back quick enough. If you watch the match again (I have) in the second half it is blatantly obvious that they have pinpointed him as the weak link and generally put a lot of their attacks down his flank. He is pretty good in the air as he didn't lose out too many high balls but his ball control/trapping gives balls away every other time and his passing is sunday league at best. I do feel sorry for him as he is out of his depth and shouldn't really be in our team for a few years (loaned to first division for a while) but whilst we have the serial mismanagement at our club we will have to put up with these debacles! P.s. Whoever says they would rather have Ramage than Baba needs shot! P.P.S. Baba with a Ramage heart transplant would solve all our problems :winking:

the quicker the better seing what the alternative we have on the left

wrong position! my arsse! He is the worst football player I have seen at Nufc for a long time. His footballing skills are non existant and his defending skills are mediocre. Roll on january and bridge!

Every time he gets the ball I shudder. He makes me more nervous than anyone else in the team, jesus! P.S. Nobby for right back, someone who can pass the ball out of defence

SYCOPHANT!!! Nothing More, Nothing Less. Disgrace to journalism if you ask me...

CLASS!!

2 subs around the 65-70 minute mark. Third sub for back up just in case.....

I've changed my mind: -----------------Harper (if fit)--------------- Taylor-------Moore----Ramage------Babayaro Milner--------Dyer-----Parker------Duff ----------------Luque-------------- -----------Rossi---------------- Subs: Zoggy Solano Bramble Krul Sibs All out to win this game. Bring dyer of at 60 mins for the Zog and if Luque doesn't perform sibs on at 65 mins. 3-1 Luque, Duff, Rossi, Ramage (O.G.)

5 million is laughable. Imagine if he was English? We would be hearing 15 million instead of five!!

Just accentuates the fact that we have completely shite management at this club. Emre is expendible in my opinion whereas the younger lads (Milner/Zog) are the future of our club and they aren't too bad now either!!

I think we should sell him as long as we get two defenders for the money we recieve..... We were going to get a striker anyway... so: Emre=Centre back/Left back

I'll go with the one above (nufc geordie). Luque deserves his chance and from what I've read seems like Butt had a great game aswell..... Duff will get a goal soon. Bring on Rossi on 60 mins for the worse of the two (Duff or Luque).

Just a thought on Luques' plight: He gets a decent cross and slots it in. How many other decent through balls and crosses did he get last night? I don't know cos it wasn't on telly here..... My point is that week in, week out our service from the flanks and the middle is completely average, doesn't matter if it's LUque, shearer, Rooney or Eto, we aint going to get many goals.... I honestly think that Luque needs a run in the team and considering our striker situation and the fact he gave Roeder what he wanted: a goal from an opportunity, then he should play on saturday..... or we could stick a winger, midfielder or even a defender upfront instead of him.....get a life Roeder!

By the way "Magpie Ranger" was nicked off the original "I wanna be a Berwick Ranger" bluebigeek.gif Thats been sung since my dad's times (old git)!

By my reckoning he would of pocketed a clean Million for this season's transfer dealings bluebigeek.gif P.S. Anyone know where you sit your "how to rip of clubs" exams?

Very dissapointing! Fingers crossed that we have a fully fit 1st eleven for the next 4 months until we can get reinforcements/be let down again.... bluecool.gif

Aye, he's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Is what we need at the moment...someone capable of holding up the ball and fighting for titus's "sprayed" PASSES? Bit of a step down from Klose though :roll:

I watched the game ysterday and thought both marlon and zamora were pretty awful. Somebody on here mentioned harewood before and apart from one gilt edged opportunity that he missed he was invisible and just lumbered around like an overweight sumo...no thanks. As for Zamora ...I don't think he's that great a striker, he didn't get into any scoring positions and was just busy and closed people down. The goal was pure luck and what was supposed to be a cross for his mates was so bad that it went into the net.... tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

Benitez has a concrete layout for his teams: Defensive base with hardworking but creative midfield. His philosophy is "not to lose games" in contrast with "winning games" (quoted when valencia won the title). You can see he has done this at Liverpool and now that he is happy with his defense and how the team plays he has added those attacking components that should make the difference for them. On another note I thought htey were abysmal on saturday, watched the game in a pub over here and was surprised at how disjointed they were and how bad the defense was for the first goal, three attackers could have nodded that free kick in as they were all unmarked at the back post. If hulse was a bit better and had some back up liverpool could have been on a loser. Didn't impress me at all. Bellamy was non-existent :lol:

Champions:Chelski 2nd 3rd 4th:Liverpool/Arsenal/Manure Where will we finish: 6th Relegation:Villa/Sheff utd/Watford Top scorer: Ameobi bluebigeek.gif

Khainufc, I see you've got a real "geordie import" in your team. Top row second from the right tongue.gif
