Guest Novocastrian Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 It's bad enough having Zog at LB but when Fat Sam plays Zog and Milner on the same side I just can't understand his thoughts. For me Zog should be wide left and Milner wide right until we can bring additional players in/get Duff back to fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Just for once I'd like to see us line up 4-4-2 with N'Zogbia on the left wing and Milner on the right wing. Just once. Still, we'll see how it goes today. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Team according to Radio Newcastle: 4-5-1/4-3-3 Given, Beye, Rozenhal, Faye, Zog, Geremi, Barton, Butt, Milner, Martins, Smith if we line up given beye rozenhal faye n'zogbia geremi butt barton milner martins smith i'll not slag off allardyce for his choices, bit of balance for a chanege.

KaKa Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Not sure about Geremi. Can't really see how he's any better than Parker. Watched Parker today and he still stinks. Still twirling around in circles with the ball and chasing his tail, still losing the ball while he does this and still doesn't have the confidence to pass the ball forward.

Butt Geremi central midfield should sort that problem out. I think they might be a lightweight and could possibly be over run Suprising. Wouldve thought theyd make a pretty strong central midfield, one that would be void of creativity or any attacking instinct, but still, both players are pretty good defensively and despite not being tall, arent pushovers. Could play Faye there, but hes pretty much our only consistently decent centreback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Butt, Geremi and Barton is our best balance in midfield. at the moment none of our central midfielders are good enough as a pair and I think the best option is to have three in there. I think we'll be really good today wehter we'llw in or not is another matter though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Barton will have been given a license to get the ball and come forward with it. Yeah really. I think the Blackburn midfield, especially Mokoena (who could do another Diop on us) and Dunn who on his day can create all sorts might be a bit much for us. Bentley should have the edge over the Zog at LB too. Fingers crossed that I'm wrong. I bloody hope so but they are a dangerous side (a bit of an Allardyce side actually - hard to beat, athletic and effective up front. Well, what an Allardyce side should be like). Fuck it, I'll stick with my 1-1 prediction but I am nervous. Wish I was there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Don't want to sound too negative, as I still think Sam deserves time as he's trying to change so much about what's wrong with us. But if we get any result today I'll be truly shocked. Blackburn are one of the most physical sides in the league, if you show even a hint of weakness they'll just power through you. They'll also have that bit extra to prove after the batterring Villa gave them in midweek, they'll want to make that up to their own fans. Our last few games we've been so lethargic, half-assed and generally easy for teams to bully. Unless that improves drastically we'll get absolutely thumped. That said, there's no reason whatsoever we should be so poor again, and if we actually show up and show a bit of desire we'll be able to give them a game. But, with that starting 11 out it's really very hard to see where our attacking threat will come from. Butt, Geremi and Barton in the middle should give us a chance to match them physically, but where precisely is the service from the middle gonna come from? Who's gonna keep the ball for us? Out wide, Martins may do something spectacular at some point but other than that he doesn't effect the game positively in a consistent manner at all, while Milner just plainly isn't much better than above-average. Smith will get about up front, which is key for the lone striker, but don't expect his name on the scoresheet. Be surprised if we score at all today personally, if we do it'll almost certainly be a Martins thunderbolt or a scrappy goal froma set-piece. If we go behind, we're 99% gauranteed to lose. What does that say about any football team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
