I reckon he'll go for Barton and Butt in midfield. Zog at left back.

 

Are you forgetting that Keegan has replaced Allardyce?

 

Doesn't stop Keegan rating Barton and Butt, and it doesn't stop the fact that it appeared from the touchlines that Enrique and N'Zogbia weren't pressing as far forward as Keegan wanted against Bolton.

 

But N'zogbia played more in the centre. If it was anyones fault we had no width down the left it was Duff's who kept drifting in, instead of sitting out on the wing.

I really hope not

 

Doesn't mean it will be the same Butt and Barton. For one, I imagine Barton will be granted greater attacking licence.

Now that it appears Barton will play it makes midfield choice harder, Cannot drop Zoggy so it may be Duff that gets dropped, as I can see KK playing Butt and Barton in the middle

 

--------------Given

 

Carr-----Taylor----Cacapa----Enrique

 

Milner----Barton-----Butt------Zoggy

 

----------Owen-----Smith

Smith and Owen have to start up front, spec if zoggy can get his crossing boots on!

 

We've drawn the last however many games against arsenal - I reckon 1-1 on sat and 2-2 in the league.

 

5-0 in the replay with Taylor doing an Albert for the last goal !

I'm so apathetic about a choice between Smith and Ameobi it's untrue, couldn't care less which one starts, both will let us down in their own fashion. Although would love to see Lehmann play and Smith barge into him on a few set pieces, just for the fireworks. Don't think we'll get battered, just a drab 1 or 2-0 defeat.

Smith ahead of Ameobi for me.

 

Any possible chance we have for holding onto the ball as long as we need to is what Smith will give us over Shola, as well as is constant harrying and pressing of an Arsenal defence who didn't really take to it that well when they played up here earlier on this season.

First outfield player - i.e. Cacapa at RB should have told you that.

I'd play Lua Lua and drop Milner, who has been dreadful of late. We're going to need pace on the break against Arsenal and Kazenga, although only having made two short cameo appearances, has looked as though he might be able to provide that, we already know Milner cannot.

 

Aye, Milner has been terrible.

 

You've watched ONE game, haven't you. Jesus.

arsenal haven't played well for at least a month now, if spurs and birmingham can draw 1-1 at the emirates then we have a chance, it's all about the start, we must not concede early

Which of Milner's recent performances have impressed you? What do you think he brings to the team?
