Guest ExiledGeordie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Viduka is listed as "doubtful" for the City game on physioroom. I hope he plays because he's exactly what we need in a game like this when the odd goal might win it. Taylor was class against Arsenal, unless there's an injury Roz and Taylor should start at the back. Atleast Enrique will have had 90 minutes under his belt going into this game and Beye should only be getting fitter. Good to have a strong back four finally.

Guest Immsy7 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I don't think Cacapa or Viduka will be fit to play. I think that Enrique will be rested, he will be on the bench alongside Emre, but they will both play a part in the game. Harper Beye Taylor Rozenhal Zoggy Butt Geremi Smith Martins Ameobi Milner Subs : Given, Edgar, Enrique, Emre, Faye I think we will switch to 4-4-2 later in the game:- Harper Beye Taylor Rozenhal Enrique Milner Geremi Emre Zoggy Smith Martins Faye coming on for one of the CBs Thats avoiding injuries (wishful thinking with our lot i know) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I reckon Enrique will play, Zoggy 2nd half against West Ham was lovely, and I imagine has always been Sams target. Badly need Viduka fit, mind. I've got a feeling he will be, it was only a knock rather then his hamstring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wor jackie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 enrique should start meaning zoggy to left wing. he's too good attacking-wise to be a defender. if we keep the ball on the deck and don't give it away again cheaply, 2-1 to us.

Guest microbar Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 We need barton back and owen fit before we have a prayer against city away, Sams going to go defensive away and pump the ball up to martins, Best we can hope for is a draw.

sparta Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Going from 3 class strikers 1 mediocre (if you count smith in this one) and one s*** one (ameobi) to a injury reduced bunch of 1 class striker and 1 mediocre one... looking like 433 for me with nzogbia and milner at the wings same old newcastle :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'd like to see: Given Beye Rozehnal Taylor J.

TRon Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I won't be devastated if Viduka isn't fit although I rate him. With Ameobi out of contention, we could go with Smith and Martins up front, and they looked quite good against West Ham. They won't look as good if one of them is playing wide though, which is likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparta Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 in my opinion this is what would be the squad on match day... big sam will either field a 433/451 formation or a 442 formation depending on whos fit and not i dont think he will risk viduka as owen and ameobi is already out and viduka isnt fit so probably bench with 30 min max for him 433/451 formation i would really hope for in a 433 is this, and it does look like an offencive squad with milner covering up for emres lack of work, and smith doing the same for zoggy should provide space for some creativity(and dont give me the usual bullshit about emre and zoggy not having creative quality) Harper Beye Taylor Rozenhal Enrique Gerimi Emre Smith Milner Zoggy Martins Subs : Given, Edgar, Butt, Viduka, Faye with Viduka Butt/Faye as offence/defence this would give us a balanced squad.. difficult to see if someone else then edgar should be there or if given should start after arsenal game, but i guess rested Sams 4-4-2 Harper Beye Taylor Rozenhal Enrique Milner Emre Geremi Zoggy Martins Smith Subs : Given, Edgar, Butt, Viduka, Faye good squad as well, but dont think it gives us the same divirsity as the 433 does. however it is a formation most of the squad is used to, and it has been proven to be well anyways, good luck sam!

Guest jamesmartinsmith Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 If we stick Butt or Geremi to Elano and Beye gets some support defending against Petrov, then we have a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 They haven't, like. Taylor hasn't started with Rozehnal and Beye, AFAIK, Milner hasn't played on the right, Butt has always started in the middle with Geremi, and Enrique has never started in the PL.

Well, the teams we've played have all been similar to that, same formation, same players. I swear you follow people around this forum, just generally being a pedantic twat. Ok, let's break it down. Beye's played two games. Enrique's played two games. N'Zogbia's played in midfield once. Butt's played nearly every game and he's not there. As Keefaz points out, Milner has not played right hand side. We have played 4-4-2 in 4 of our last 5 games. So it's not the same formation. It's not the same players. How boring can it be?

Skirge Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Okay okay,, so I forget that Sam uses Milner on the left.. Its still a fkn 4-3-3 and we have not looked any good playing that way, different players but same old formation. Taylor in for Cacapa and Martins in for Owen, Butt dropped as Enrique is fit so Zoggy can be moved forward. -----------------Harper Beye-----Taylor------Roze----------Enrique --Smith--------Geremi----------Zoggy ---Martins------Viduka-------Milner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
