Carling Cup 2nd Round - Newcastle vs Barnsley (29/08/07)
Gallowgate Toon replied to a topic in Football
Played at CB more, his best position by miles, no point in wasting him at RB, Taylor is the worst CB out of Roz, Cacapa and himself, so i think its right Taylor plays RB not cacapa. I would rather play Solano as home RB and Taylor as the away RB though. -
But Owen won't stay fit so he will play alot of games.
-
Geremi needs to start in the centre, and i think Barton will be his partner, Butt is dull and predictable and Smith has quality but can be inconsistant. Martins and Viduka imo is our best partnership as is Roz and Cacapa, Taylor RB or Solano and Zoggy left and Milner right with Enrique. That is our best team by a mile.

quite a bit
-
haha yes true but thats all ive been hearing about him, hes a beast and is vicious thats it, does anybody know what his other strengths are?
-
Isn't he the most well prepared out of the team?, played in the Asia cup, and it was proper competition not half hearted pre-seasons.
-
He's not a typical fancy dancy spaniard though, he's huge and never shanks a tackle apparently. Does anybody know what his strengths are?
-
It's no gaurantee he'll ever get his first touch "sorted" though, it's generally an innate thing. He can improve it, no doubt, but I doubt his first touch will ever be top class. Then, he has enough other qualities to his game that he can get away with his first touch only being alright. Oh no doubt he is a class player but at times his first touch is such a let down, it is a part of his game he can work on and I am sure is something Big Sam will look at with him. His first touch has looked alot better in pre-season i have to say. But Viduka, Solano and Cacapa.

Seven managers in the last ten years. How long has Allardyce got?

Given - 6 - had nothing to do, shame about his injury. Carr - 5 - caught out of position way too much offered nothing. Roz - 7 - 1 fantastic tackle stands out, his reading of the game is something else. Taylor - 7 - solid, some good headers. Zoggy - 7 - Was decent at LB but when he was moved further up he made some great runs and looks much better. Milner - 7 - The usual good shift some nice skills. Butt - 7 - Was a bit of a headless chicken at times, just aimlessly running around, but he gives his all and doesn't shank a tackle, spread the ball well. Geremi - 7.5 - A couple of bad touches but his effort and tackles were really good, has brilliant vision and always spreads it wide, nice corner for the goal. Solano - 6 - Was a bit quiet at times but his class is still evident. Smith - 8 - MOTM, was average up front but was class in midfield, nice touches, good tackles, and a classy header after a surging run. Viduka - 6.5 - His control is absolutely brilliant, slow but he shields the ball well and is a very intelligent player, has to start upfront as much as possible this season with either Owen or Martins. Ameobi - 6 - Quite lazy at times but did some good flick ons and looked lively enough. Martins - 7 - Played well on the wing but its obvious it doesn't suit him, had good control, got back to defend, and tried hard, but he is a striker that is obvious. His chance was not as easy as it looked as the ball was cannoned at him but he caught it a little late so it hit the outside of his foot and went up and hit the bar, still should have scored. Ramage - 6 - Solid enough but he is still s***. Harper - 7 - had to make a few decent saves but again didn't have alot to do. -
he will not be going, most definately not.

Whats happening to him is NOTHING compared to Albert (un)Luque Anyway, f*** him, we got enough strikers to cover for him and more. yeah, f*** him, he's only the best player we've got Correction: he's the best NAME we got, we haven't seen him enough on the pitch to determine if he can actually play and do something for NUFC. Correction? Name a better player we've got. There isn't one. Nobby Solano is a much better player then Owen, infact most of the team are better players than Owen, compared to many his general game is poor, so he isn't the best player.

Baines didn't go to the mackems because he thought Keane was an impatient tosser!
-
so what about their wages then? how many 'squad players' do we now have on how much a week? If Ashley can't see how far back you can fall if you f*** up one window by not spending, even given the example of this very club, then like I said, he's a bit of a daft c*** tbh He's not a 'daft cunt', hes made 2 billion on his own would have to be one lucky fucker to make 2 billion on sheer luck.
-
I think that Martins will get 15 in the premiership i reckon so will Owen if he stays fit. Viduka can manage 10, but then again he has to stay fit. i think Ameobi should target 10 but i think he will get 8 and depending on where Smith plays maybes 5-10 goals is realistic. In all competitions i have no idea how many players will get.

What..The..f***.! The one on the far left looks like Seth Green.

when i visited Leeds i went to his sandwich shop.

The Dragutinovic bits are especially hilarious.
-
i agree, 12 months ago we had only bought in - Martins, Sibi, Rossi and Bernard So far we have bought - Barton, viduka, Roz, Geremi and looks like we have Smith, Cacapa and Dragutinovic. i know which window i have preferred. the one with a billion quid to spend, rather than £5m? clever boy Thanks for the compliment.
