Flip Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 i got a feeling we will pass it better then them and actually score on our chances with Barton making it 2-1 and becoming a cult hero in second half. Adebayor and Butt to score the other ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShearMagic Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Viduka only ever performs when it's contract time. Given Carr Taylor Cacapa Jose Milner Butt N'Zogbia Duff Owen Smith Harper, Rozehnal, LuaLua, Ameobi, Barton Same starting side as last time I think. Can't really see it being anything else. Perhaps Rozehnal in for Butt but that's the only difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We are going to destroy them because of our no. 23: Ameobi can be as good as Adebayor NEWCASTLE striker Shola Ameobi has been told to follow in the footsteps of Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor. The 26-year-old Magpies frontman has seen his efforts to plug the gap left by Alan Shearer on his retirement hampered by injury, and found himself largely a forgotten man under former boss Sam Allardyce. But new boss Kevin Keegan was swift to restore him to the starting line-up following his latest return to fitness, and is confident he can make a major impact. Ameobi was not involved in Saturday's 3-0 fourth-round defeat at Arsenal, but could play a part when the sides meet again in the Premier league tonight. Adebayor scored twice at the weekend, and Keegan has ordered his own African-born front man to study the Togo international's game. He said: "If you look at Adebayor, what I would say to Shola Ameobi is what I saw of Adebayor a year and a half ago when he first came on to the scene is what I saw of Ameobi when he first came on to the scene. "That guy has kicked on and Shola has had injuries and other little problems, I guess, but he is 26 now and I don't think it is too late. "Everywhere you go when you see a performance like that, you can say to a player, 'He is a similar size to you. Has he got more ability than you?'. "Well, it would look so at the moment, but truthfully, I think Shola has got a lot of stuff pac kaged there that hasn't quite come out properly yet. "People might say Alan was dominating when he was here - of course he was; so was (Thierry) Henry, but Adebayor has gone straight in and filled his boots. "That's not easy, that's almost as difficult as filling Alan Shearer's here." Newcastle head south with Keegan's last-ditch recruitment drive having so far failed to pay dividends - and the manager admitting he may have to negotiate the remainder of the season with what he already has. He said: "We are set in the summer to add to the squad in a way I think will be really meaningful, as opposed to now where you are taking chances. "If you get one who is an absolute top-notcher, who has played at the highest level, then you might do it. "But at this moment in time, there have not been that many put forward to us who fit that criterion that you can realistically get." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ameobi is only playing because he's all we've got, better than smith, etc etc etc. Or maybe we could just send viduka on, crutches and all. Could still score if they forget to mark him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Forget the result, this match should tell Keegan a lot about the players he's got and their desire to compete at the highest level. Will they be up for it to the bitter end or will the heads drop at the first setback? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boot Boy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The scoreline won't flatter them like it did last time. I'm going to predict a feisty performance that ultimately ends with us on the wrong end of a 1 goal deficit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We have no chance of winning the game and i think it's a case of containing them, hence my team We tried containing teams all season and its never worked. Just go out and put a good preformance in and see what we get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boot Boy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Exactly. No game is unwinnable. The trouble is, they'll expect us to attack them so they'll be set up for it. If it was a surprise that we went at them, we'd stand a better chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Would we be better of with Barton and Butt in the middle and dropping duff or milner?? I know this means less creativity but we dont create with the others and would be more solid?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
