Pre Match Thread: Newcastle United vs Blackburn Rovers


Recommended Posts

Guest Gallowgate Mag

A day before a game and no sign of one of these....has it really come to this?

 

Anyhoo, i'd go for:

 

Given

Edgar Coloccini Cacapa Bassong

Duff Geremi Butt N'Zogbia

Owen Xisco

 

Newcastle 0-3 Blackburn Rovers

I'd rather play the youth team than some of that lot.

 

A maximum of 5 players in that team would be in my first choice XI: Given, Coloccini, Owen, N'Zogbia (on a good day), Bassong (only due to the fact even other defender we have is turd). Steven Taylor would be nowhere near my team even with an injury crisis.

Reckon it'll be the same starting XI as against Spurs, but with Xisco in for Martins.

 

1-2 defeat - with Blackburn barely getting out of first gear, and another Owen consolation goal late on.

That'll probably be the team that starts and it'll produce nothing.  Again.

 

Geremi is great as an impact player coming on for 20 minutes to change a game, but he's incapable of playing 90 minutes without looking like an asthmatic pensioner.  Duff offers so little to the team we'd be better off putting a shirt on a plank of wood.

 

We're fucked anyway, may as well take a chance on some youngsters, give them some experience.  Try the unexpected.

Fuck it we need 3-5-2 something like this

 

                  Given

   

  Taylor  Cacapa    Bassong

               

                  Colo

 

  Geremi    Butt        Duff

                   

                  Zoggy

             

                Owen Xisco

 

Colo to mop up Butt's mistakes in midfield and Zoggy doing the link up play with the front two

A shit side, yes. But it was a shame to see a team of Butt, Duff, Geremi vs Spurs. Rather lose with this team.

Tozer is nowhere near ready.

 

Still a hot prospect. Give him a chance.

 

At 17 years old against one of the league's hottest strikers? No thanks

 

Cacapa will have to do till January

Do people not learn, hoying tozer in at the deep end when the troups are down will kill his career before it's started, just look at Steven Taylor how many different defensive partnerships he has had it's fecked the lad up.

Dunno looks physically good, but see your point.

 

I don't want Duff starting personally, he makes my heart ache watching him.

Same here, same applies for Butt, Geremi, Taylor etc. Cheers Messers Ashley, Wise,  Allardyce, Jiminez etc. Top notch scouting system.
