Dave Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ameobi, who most believe Kinnear likes in a Wimbledon style-ee? Martins, who just scored both goals in our last win? Or will we change formation back to a 4-3-3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ameobi looked crocked when he came off and Martins had his one good game in 10 so either of them really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 for me it's always a case of who partners Martins tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 If Butt and Barton are going to sit as deep as that in future games, it's difficult to see how you are going to drop either forward atm. They don't really gel as a pair but individually they cause havoc among opposition defences even without much support from midfield. If Owen had played last night instead of Oba would Laursen and Cuellar have had such a rough time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peder75 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 If you asked me that question before JK took over I would say Shola any day. But with the physical presence Shola shown up front in the last few games, he will give the other striker some extra needed space to work on. Right now it's Martins and Owen fighting for the other place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it's Martins and Owen fighting for the other place. Is it just me, or does Shola look to have beefed up well and proper now? Doesn't seem too frail for his frame anymore, and although he still gives freekicks away, he's looking a lot stronger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I wouldn't make any changes. Shola and Martins have been effective, and it's important that the players get the message that if they play well, they keep their place. I certainly wouldn't change the formation to bring in Owen, because the players need to develop a better understanding and confidence in one another. There's a good balance to the team going forward at the moment, and we can actually get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Shola for me, still think Owen and Martins could work very well together, and it's not like Oba and Shola has got a good partnership going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think we should sell Owen in January(or he'll go for free next summer for sure). And bring in another strong, big and "pacy" striker to replace Shola in the starting XI. Shouldn't be too hard to find a cheaper but better option for Shola with the little money we'll get from Owen. Negredo from Almeria or Pizarro maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Neither. Oba and Shola have both more than earned their place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good balance to the team going forward at the moment, and we can actually get better. Correct. However I see it as a backbone of Given, Coloccini, Beye, Barton, Jonas and Owen, with the rest of the team built around them. I'd hoy Enrique in there as he's the more natural left back we have, and is slowly kick-starting his season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'd keep Shola and Martins for now.. Depends on the conditions at Fulham i'd say. If the pitch isn't up to much, then maybe we shouldn't risk Owen. But as has been said, when Owen is fit he must play. Especially that he was in decent form before his injury, and was looking sharper with every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
