Baggio Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I predict Allardyce will again play a team with no balance just to accommodate Smith into the starting 11 and that we will lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SLK Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Why does Allayrdyce want to make it more difficult for himself ? Why doesn't he just go back to basics...BASICS YOU MORON... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 3-1 to Blackburn At least 2 strange selections by Allardyce as per usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'm going to be optimistic here, 2-0 for us. I just think Sam needs time with the players we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hopefully, after the crowd's reactions yesterday he'll be forced into changes. If we go 4-4-2 with Milner and Zoggy on the wings, and we play the ball to feet, we'll get something. It's alot to ask for with Allardyce though.

Rob Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 if we have faye back and he's paired with beye, and he switches to 442 with the players in the correct positions and plays the ball on the deck, we'll have a chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridman Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I would just like to see ONE game where we go with the plain good ol' 4-4-2 with no players playing out of positions... Martins - Viduka N'Zogbia - Emre - Butt - Milner Enrique - Roz - Beye* - Geremi* Given *if no other CB fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluegeordie Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 It will be Blackburn's third game in a week, and I'm predicting that we'll beat them 2-1, with a goal each for Oba and Viduka. Why am I expecting such a positive result? It's simple really - given the absolute shower of shite that we find ourselves in at the moment, I've decided to substitute mindless optimism for rational analysis. The way I see things, it's either that or building myself a Saw III shotgun-shell necklace, which I'll program to discharge at the very moment the Newcastle bench announce their intention to make a substitution. Given that I'm not technically inclined, I've decided to opt for the mindless optimism card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant stand it when he plays Zoggy on the right and Milner on the left. Knowing in SA he'll have Smith on the right and probably Emre on the left.

BlueStar Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I can't wait to see what bizarre tactic or selection we're in for. I'm going to plump for two of my favourites recently, "hoof the ball up to a midget" for tactics and "Milner on the left/Zog on the right." for selection.

Skirge Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 It would be nice f we had a player with bags of pace that will run direct and get at them, and also a creative player with vision and ability. Oh hang on we had two such players did'nt we, in Dyer and Nobby. :idiot2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
