Guest Harry-Norway Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 start with Emre instead of Smith,Smith sucks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 This is how I would line up against City, Martins will come good, I would be more worried if he was not getting any chances to miss, the lad is low on confidence and is panicking a tad in front of goal, he knows he needs to score goals to stay in the side. Viduka will help him a hell of a lot more than Shola would do too. Emre was bright enough so let him start we need him to create chances, the lads seem to love Geremi and as skipper he should start. Milner has taken a dip in form but we have no other natural wide right player so he has to start, Zoggy well deserves to be wide right also. Our back four need more games for fitness and more games to get used to playing together, its a bright enough start by them and I am sure they will et better too. A FUCKING 4-4-2 THOUGH!! Both Zoggy and Milner are shite on the end of a line of three!! Beye----Taylor-------Roze------Enrique Milner---Geremi------Emre------Zoggy ---------Martins-------Viduka BENCH Harper Faye Butt Smith Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Harper Beye Taylor Roz Enrique Milner Geremi Emre Zogg Martins Viduka Somehow i doubt we'll go like that though...we'll have to find space for Smith :-S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Crazy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 If Emre can stay fit, he will be picked because we have no one else that is creative in mid-field. It's a chance for him to become a fan's favourite again and who knows, if he plays a couple of games and forms a good partnership with Barton he may want to stay in January..

Toon_Crazy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 GIVEN BEYE ROZENHAL TAYLOR ENRIQUE MILNER BUTT EMRE N'ZOGBIA MARTINS VIDUKA Subs: Harper, Faye, Geremi, Smith, Edgar. Just making up the subs bench there, had to think who was left for the fifth substitute. Just shows we are lacking a few players in the squad as a whole...

Guest SLK Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Play 4-4-2 I'm not sure if Cacapa is still injured but if he is then Taylor should play in his place: Harper Beye Taylor Rozehnal Enrique Milner Geremi Emre N'Zogbia Viduka Martins Bring on Smith for Viduka and Butt for either Geremi or Emre. Can also bring in Faye for one of the CBs or CMs later on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hodgson09 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I think we should play some mind tricks on Man City, and only start with 10 players. It will really mess with there heads. Then sneak on the 11th player with some toilet paper stuck to his foot. If we do this we will win, if not 3-2 loss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Play 4-4-2 I'm not sure if Cacapa is still injured but if he is then Taylor should play in his place: Harper Beye Taylor Rozehnal Enrique Milner Geremi Emre N'Zogbia Viduka Martins Bring on Smith for Viduka and Butt for either Geremi or Emre. Can also bring in Faye for one of the CBs or CMs later on... Totaly agree with your team and subs. I would have played Taylor with Cacapa if fit though, as Roz has been found out in the air, that's a big weakness for a CB, i hope he can sort it out though. I'm expecting a 451 from Sam.

Skirge Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I would settle for 4-5-1 away fro home, as long as he forgets this fkn 4-3-3 bollocks. ------------------Given Beye-----Taylor--------Roze------Enrique ------------------Geremi Milner----Martins------Emre-----Zoggy -----------------Viduka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felling Mag Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I think a lot depends on whether Viduka plays, however i dont think we'll won. Possibly 1-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Much depends on the first goal, if we get it we could grab a 1-0 or draw. If they get it we're fucked and could lose by 2 or 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Sam should play Given Beye Taylor Roze Enrique Milner Geremi Butt Zoggy Viduka Martins He wont though i expect Harper Smith to come in i reckon Enrique will be on the bench score prediction 0-0 bore draw and i would be happy with a point unless we take the lead then i expect a clean sheet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ExiledGeordie Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 A point away going into a home game against Everton with the International break around the corner would be a good result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Don't mean to sound pedantic but I don't think a point would be a good result, it'd be an acceptable result. For teams fighting relegation it'd be a good result, they talk about going to places like Man City and nicking a point. But it's not like we're going to Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford, let's have a bit of perspective. If getting a draw at Man City is considered a good result then you'd have to say that finishing 11th or so in the league would be a good finish.

Guest ToonGeneral Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 As Viduka is injured there is no need to risk him, keep him on the bench. Shola is also injured but i wouldnt start him anyway. Given Beye----Rozy---Taylor---Enrique Milner---Emre----Butt----Zoggy Smith----Martins Or maybe play Geremi as he is our captain.

ohmelads Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Considering we got beaten at Pride Park, it's a good result. So that's our yardstick for the season then? A defeat to Derby. Does that mean Aston Villa should be devastated if they draw at home to Man Utd, because they beat Chelsea 2-0? I dread to see what people think when we do have to go to places like Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge. Should we just throw the towel in then and concentrate on damage limitation - try to keep them down to two or three goals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could take positives from a draw, it'd be an acceptable result in the circumstances and as you say something to build confidence with if we can go to our rivals and give them a game at their place. But Man City are not that good, they're still a new team very much like ourselves and they have quite a lot of average players. I'd like to think we'll be going down there for the 3 points, not playing for a draw and trying to nick something if we're lucky, which might be an acceptable attitude at Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge.
