Consortium of one Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Owen and Guthrie set for place on the bench Nov 7 2008 by Alan Oliver, Evening Chronicle JOE KINNEAR will send out an unchanged side at Fulham on Sunday – with apologies to his skipper Michael Owen and midfielder Danny Guthrie. Not surprisingly, the United boss will give the team which started Monday’s game with Aston Villa a vote of confidence, leaving Owen and Guthrie again on the bench. Owen, of course, is just finding his way back after injury, but Guthrie has only let United down on one occasion since his summer switch from Liverpool, when the red mist came down against Hull and his reward was a similarly coloured card. Said Kinnear today: “It was a hard decision to leave Danny Guthrie out on Monday, but I spoke to him and assured him that he still has a major part to play for this club. “He is a young lad who really is still learning his trade, while Nicky Butt is an experienced player and that’s what I felt we needed on Monday. “Not only that, but it was also about the shape of the team for, while Danny likes to get forward, Nicky has perfected the art of sitting in front of the back four.” He's perfected the art because he CAN'T FOOKING RUN!

Ash Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Given Beye Taylor Colo Bassong Geremi Barton Guthrie Jonas Ameobi Martins 2-1 win. So you'd change three of the starting line-up that beat Villa 2-0 yet NOT bring back Owen? I'd put out what I thought was the best team possible atm. Wasn't too sure if Owen was 100% so I didn't inckude him in the first XI. Geremi in place of Duff is a huge call on current form. Bassong for Enrique is also an interesting call with the way José seems to be settling back into the side. Same team as Villa for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It sounds like JFK is sticking with the same starting line up that beat Villa and there's nothing wrong with that. A bench containing Owen, Guthrie, Zoggy, Bassong, Geremi and Harper is way better than some we've had this season. Add Ranger to that bench and it's all good.

Neil Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I can see a very poor game, not a criticism of Newcastle, just can see a very scrappy game, with 1 goal winning it either day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJbarnes Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 really? maybe optimistic thinking, but i was reckoning on an entertaining encounter, as fulham play good stuff at home, and we are in good form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_kev Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 really? maybe optimistic thinking, but i was reckoning on an entertaining encounter, as fulham play good stuff at home, and we are in good form. If they throw loads of men forward it gives the likes of Barton, Jonas and Martins to break on the counter attack. I'm hoping for some good stuff to be played.

Guest Heneage Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Fulham are good but bar the likes of Bullard Zamora and Johnson on occasion where is their class in attack? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I can see a very poor game, not a criticism of Newcastle, just can see a very scrappy game, with 1 goal winning it either day. I agree. I can see it being 1-0/2-1 either way. Fingers crossed it'll be ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Same team as against villa I reckon. Maybe Owen will play, but Kinnears daft if he drops Oba after hes just found his feet. Id be tempted to swap Butt for Guthrie, but there should be no change elsewhere, especially the back four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I can see a very poor game, not a criticism of Newcastle, just can see a very scrappy game, with 1 goal winning it either day. I'd think that last year, but we're playing different now. We've got a little spring in our step and I think we can get two goals past them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 A limited number tickets remain available for Newcastle fans - these can be bought direct from the ticket office at Craven Cottage. Cash turnstiles will also be in operation at the so-called neutral section, which is adjacent to the away section in the Putney End. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
