Syrette Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Saw no thread for this. http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1217796,00.html NEWCASTLE United will be without Turkish midfielder Emre for their next three fixtures after his red card during the 4-1 FA Cup win over Stoke. The 27-year-old was given his marching orders by Uriah Rennie after just 29 minutes following a high tackle on Potters skipper John Eustace. That means the former Inter Milan ace will miss Saturday's visit of Bolton Wanderers as well as the FA Cup and league double header with Arsenal on January 26 and 29. But caretaker coach Nigel Pearson feels that an earlier challenge by Eustace on Emre should not have gone unpunished by referee Rennie. "I thought the challenge on Emre was awful, let's be honest," he said. "It was a ridiculous challenge, and you only have to look at Emre's shin to see how bad a challenge it was. "I've seen it a few times on the slow-mo as well, and it's not pretty. "One thing led to another. The first challenge should have been dealt with, and after that it's another player that we lose at a time when we've got a number of players available. "That makes it even more difficult for us, but we'll have to deal with it." Also suspended for Saturday's game with the Trotters are midfield duo Alan Smith and Nicky Butt. Idiot.

Syrette Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 A player that really needs a clean slate, what a tit. He's 27, can't really defend players who retaliate like that. No denying it was a terrible challenge that wound him up in the first place but theres no place in football for revenge attacks of that nature.

Adam Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Don't agree with what he did but if Rennie wasn't so shit and had carded the bloke who crunched emre in thr first place it would of never happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thought it was a sloppy challenge at the time but he deserved the red after seeing the replay in the pub afterwards. Could have done quite a bit of damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm sure Rozehnal in the holding-role with N'Zogbia would be good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Toon Army from farawa Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Can Roznhal play centre midfield? I think he played there before he came to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Milner played a bit in central midfield for Leeds iirc. Should be able to do a decent job there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caz Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Might be better seeing him play centre mid holding role, as he is rather scary in defence with his Rio Ferdinand like turns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
