toptoon Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looking forward to this game and Sam is forced to make a desicion regarding the defence, after Carrs injury and the return of Cacapa and Enrique. Would like to see Owen start but feel Allardyce will stick with 433, therefore leave him out. Team i would pick: Given Taylor Cacapa Rozehnal Enrique Butt Geremi Milner N'Zogbia Martins Owen Team i expect: Given Taylor Cacapa Rozehnal N'Zogbia Butt Geremi Smith Martins Viduka Milner Prediction: 2-0 100% agree. Viduka has been crap so far, i'd bring shola on before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HCh Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I wouldn't be surprised to see Faye in a starting lineup battling with Sibierski and Heskey. What a striking partnership that is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think Allardyce is going to play a 4-4-2. ......................Given Taylor...Rozenhal...Cacapa...N'Zogbia ....Smith...Geremi...Butt...Milner ...............Viduka...Owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think Allardyce is going to play a 4-4-2. ......................Given Taylor...Rozenhal...Cacapa...N'Zogbia ....Smith...Geremi...Butt...Milner ...............Viduka...Owen With that midfield, any goals we get will be by pure chance. Edit: I know it's not what you're advocating though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 i'd play rodhamino's team replacing milner with solano and owen with viduka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Got a negative feeling about this one tbh, can't see there being more than one goal in the game. 1-0 either way, more likely to us, or a 0-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Please can we not have Zoggy stuck at left back Sam, apart from Milner he's been the only spark that's made us look like creating a chance recently. Just have someone man-mark Sib and don't bother having a left back and we should be fine, Wigan are shite anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm not convinced Viduka will play. Think he might continue his rest so that he'll have a good three weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 i'd try martins and owen up front in a 442 with the zog in midfield. a bit of pace will flatten wigan's defence. predicting an owen goal if he stays on long enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be nice to see an Owen/Martins partnership as long as we're not firing long balls up at them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm not convinced Viduka will play. Think he might continue his rest so that he'll have a good three weeks. Good idea, looks tired and it's as good a time as any to give Ameobi a chance to sho' that he's back and ready to compete for a spot in the team. We need N'Zogbia back in midfield, but I think this will be a game to soon for Enrique after getting his debut on Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NUFC4 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 shola SHOULD start but won't. he needs to push that fat aussie all the way becasue what i've seen of the season so far ameobi has improved and viduka is the incredible blob. a target to aim at not much more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
furney89 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 i think sam will stick with shola (or viduka) and owen, simply because owens ready to start now, and viduka and shola have good pysical presence which is what we need they played well together, and owen and martins are not pysical enough for my likeing against bramble, bramble would knock them both over hes strong..even if the timing of his challenge aint so great given solano,cacapa,rozenhal,enrique milner,geremi,butt(or smith somewhere in the midfield),zog shola(or viduka), owen 442 at home, two natural wide players, two strong center halfs, seems a good setup of course sam could pick a differnt formation and the team would be alot different from what i think aslong as given is fit, he will play.... and if cacapa is ready to start again, i cant see a reason he'd pick taylor over him... i dont think taylor will play RB, its not FM guys where u can stick players whereever, i know he used to play RB to get expierence in desperate times, but wont happen again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I have a feeling that we will get a convincing win by 3 goals or more. And have a great game. I say 4-0 Owen 2 Zoggy 1 and Viduka 1.. I had a feeling about the Villa game that it could end up in a stalemate...Hope im right this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I dont think Shola should start above Viduka if a chance falls to either of them i would rather Viduka taking it rather than Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd remind yourself of some of shola's performances in the PL before you start saying stuff like that. I wouldn't start Owen in the PL until he shows us he's capable of scoring goals, which may be a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
