Decky Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Abit early but im bored, i was just curious to know if Barton and Emre will be back for this one? this would be MY formation: Given Beye Rozenhal Cacapa Enrique Milner Geremi Butt N'Zogbia Owen Martins Quite a strong side tbh, putting Barton and Emre on in the 2nd half as i cant see them doing 90 minutes. Think Sam will play SOMETHING LIKE this though: Given Beye Rozenhal Faye N'Zogbia Geremi Butt Smith Martins Owen Milner Either way an easy(ish) win. Hope our old omen doesnt return and we lose because we would have lost this last year under Glenda Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MagicNumber9 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I hope he doesnt revert back to 4 4 3. A good win, im saying 3-0. Owen to bag 2 and Milner with the last Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 If we go 4-3-3 against Derby i'll be fucked off summat rotten. Given Taylor Rozehnal Cacapa Enrique Milner Geremi Butt N'Zogbia Martins Owen Perfect opportunity to: sling Enrique in, push N'Zogbia up, trying Martins and Owen out.

Decky Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Im hoping for a few things tbh: - no 4 4 3 - Cacapa to start in defence with Beye, Enrique and Rozenhal, no Faye yet. - N'Zogbia to start - Martins and Owen to start up front - Some news on Emre and Barton particularly Emre who has played for Turkey.

Decky Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 No Taylor? I'm sure that will please Liverpool Wouldnt have him on my bench tbh: Harper Barton Emre Viduka Faye Mixing those with the players in my starting 11. Its good for squad depth because Smith and Taylor are players i would have in there but cant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TampaToon Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Im hoping for a few things tbh: - no 4 4 3 agreed, we'd be right fucked if we played with an empty goal, even if it's just derby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I agree, can't see Smith being happy "if" he is left out I actually fear that he cant be left out due to the money we spent on him compaired to our other spending in the summer, how Enrique has hardly been used. Not only that but Ashley has some kind of liking for Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'd keep Taylor in at right back. Dropping someone after a good performance just because a new signing comes in usually isn't good practice. I expect him to take the same approach he took with Cacapa and Enrique and ease Beye into the team. Talking of Enrique, it's been more than long enough now, we need to get him playing because we have a tough run of games coming up. Starting against Derby would be preferable to starting him against Everton, Arsenal, Tottenham or Man City, who are all just around the corner. Smith should be dropped simply because he isn't a winger. Enrique's introduction would allow us to move Zoggy forward and switch Milner back to right wing. Viduka and Owen up front seems logical. In central midfield there's a selection issue with Emre returning. We need his creativity, and I'd be tempted to drop Butt and play Geremi alongside Emre. We are away, but after a 6-0 drubbing at Liverpool you can be sure Derby will be getting everyone behind the ball. Lastly, I'm not too fussed who plays in goal. Personally I'd bring Given back, but there's a good case for keeping Harper who has been very good so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TampaToon Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 not to underestimate Derby, but we should probably not worry too much about who played well last time out, and put some of our less vital players (or new players needing to get a game) out there vs derby, with some better players coming on later to stay sharp. we need our best players with their freshest legs to play what might be an emotional\statement game against a club fielding half our old side at home vs west ham followed by a brutal draw at highbury. i wouldn't mind seeing the likes of owen and a couple other front-line players returning from international duty held out for the bulk of the game. i put alot of value on beating a team fielding dyer, bellamy, bowyer, solano, and parker - it would be a huge lift for the players and fans as a statement that who we have now is better than who we've had in the recent past.

I'd have Ameobi on the bench as well (in place of Butt or Smith, take your pick), in case Viduka gets injured or just can't be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were at home I might agree, but away from home there are no easy games in the Premiership. It's a cliche, but we seem to slip up at these sorts of places every single season.

Kev Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I think it will be 2-2 and if Martins doesnt start i will be even more pissed off with Big Sam than i was against Wigan HE MUST PLAY! Viduka has been a load of shite and hasnt shown anything except his goal at boro Owen and Martins would rip Derby apart but we will be weaker without oba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Havent been impressed with Viduka so far, maybe he needs a rest. Martins has to play, we were crying out for him through most of the Wigan game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparta Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 owen martins for my part.. think they do a good partnership.... viduka needs either a prolonged rest.. or a real week of hard training... does not look fit or maybe just jaded shouldnt be in the first XI for now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
