Rich Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'll hoy my team prediction in before I bugger off for the train back: Given Carr Taylor Cacapa N'Zogbia Milner Butt Emre Duff Owen Viduka SUBS: Harper, Edgar, Barton, Smith, Ameobi. Not as easy to call as usual, but I think the major decision is between Barton and Emre in the middle of the park alongside Butt, personally, I'm pretty confident on the rest of the line-up being so.

ATB Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I really really hope Viduka can play. He would be a massive improvet on the squard! Also hope Barton and Emre will play centermidfield and that Duff plays RW and Zog LW. Milner need I break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Barton and Emre in CM, would love for them to work on a partnership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 V Boro at the moment: Given Edgar Taylor Cacapa Enrique Milner Barton Emre Zoggy Duff Owen Subs Harper, Butt, Lua Lua, Viduka, Carroll/Smith/Ameobi Something different. Let's try and create. Keep it on the deck. Duff in creative (beardsley) free role. Owen lurking up top getting in good positions when we rip them open (optimistic i know). Carr no where near the team. Barton's a risk i know, judgement call from KK needed there, but Butt and Smith are poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping Carr for Edgar? surprised at that, I think Carr has been much improved since his return and well deserves his place, of course I would still drop him for Beye when he returns.

Nobody Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Seeing as Beye didn't even play yesterday, he should definitely be in contention IMO. Anyway, there is no way Edgar should be ahead of Carr as RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Seeing as Beye didn't even play yesterday, he should definitely be in contention IMO. Anyway, there is no way Edgar should be ahead of Carr as RB. Even though he wont have met either of Beye/Faye (unless they got back today), or either of our other African players or had them in training, I would guess that KK would have watched some recent videos of them, so that he had an idea where/how to play them as soon as they were available to him. Providing neither are suffering from fatigue (travelling), then he may have seen enough to think that Beye is certainly better than Carr, and that Faye could replace either a centre haf, or do a job for him as a DM.

Lenny Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 If Faye and Beye are back I'd play: Given Beye Taylor Cacapa Enrique Duff Faye Emre N'Zogbia Owen Viduka Milner is off form so would rest him, bring in Carr and Butt for Beye and Faye if necessary.

madras Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 more than just the result's important here. keegan had 2 days before bolton (not much chance to do much though i did see a massive change in style) then arsenal away twice. sunday is really the first game where he's had time to affect things. heres hoping Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Viduka's possible return could be the key as he will actually have the ball played into his feet and be able to create things. I would play Emre but just hope he performs coz every time we look forward to him coming back he is crap. Reckon Boro will come and sit and look to hit us on the break but if we get an early goal then we could win comfortable as we have the players to hit them on the counter attack.

steve_69 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 If Beye and Faye are back i'd go with: ...............Given Beye...Faye...Taylor...Enrique Duff...Milner...Emre...N'Zogbia .........Owen...Viduka/Shola If not: ................Given Carr...Taylor...Cacapa...Enrique Duff...Milner...Emre...N'Zogbia ..........Owen...Viduka/Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1231009,00.html Viduka Set To Face Former Club By Craig Hope KEVIN Keegan has confirmed that Mark Viduka will return to the Newcastle United squad for Sunday's Tyne-Tees derby at St.James' Park. The Aussie star picked up a calf injury in KK's first training session as Magpie boss prior to the goalless draw with Bolton a fortnight ago. But Keegan told Newcastle World TV on Friday that the 32-year-old should be OK to face his former club. "We've got one training session to go before the game but hopefully Mark will be involved," explained the gaffer. "We've got one or two other niggles but nothing serious." Good news.

Karjala Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 So, nobody knows if Beye and Faye are back (probably not) Viduka and Barton back in squad, and could both start. No mention of Enrique, but KK is quoted as saying "one or two niggles, nothing serious" so he could well be back as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
