Guest nufc_kev Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Must win game, simple as. I'd go with a conventional Keegan 4-3-3. Given Beye Coloccini Bassong Enrique Guthrie Jonas N'Zogbia Owen Viduka Martins JFK will probably go along the lines of: Given Beye Coloccini Bassong Enrique Jonas Guthrie Butt Duff Owen Martins Got to love WBA's idea of how to deal with the long throws.......knock it out for a corner instead, or get a sub to warm up there and put Delap off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Play Viduka and just stand him in front of Delap everytime he goes to take a throw-in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umer Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Agree with king_kev, would love to see 4-3-3 back but think he'll pick that 4-4-2 you've gone with (duff back in for N'Zogbia). From the sounds of things, N'Zogbia didn't have the greatest of games yesterday... but it will interesting to see if he gives him one more chance to prove himself. Ameobi might be back too, wonder if he'll get any game time now Viduka is back? We have to win this, simple as that. If we can't beat Stoke at home then we certainly deserve to be in the position we are in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Don't fix it if it aint broken. Two clean sheets and two draws away from home is good going, there is no reason to change the side and i don't think Joe will TBH. Remember when Owen returned to fitness he let Ameobi keep his place, so i see no reason in Taylor regaining over Bassong. The only change i can see being made is Duff for N'Zogbia, which i don't think many of us would agreed with but i don't think Duff will make it anyway. Same side, except with attacking impetus at home, should see us beat Stoke. If we are looking poor on the front foot then we can bring on Duke.

Rich Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Start with the same team again, if everyone's fit. If we're struggling then give Viduka another 30 minutes or even a full half if he's up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 We have proved we can keep clean sheets away from home but we do hold back a bit on the attacking front, we need a different frame of mind for home games. Maybe a 4-3-3 like Keegan used to play.. -------------Given Beye----Colo----Bass----Jose ----Jonas----Butt------Zoggy -------------Owen -----Oba------------Dukes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Those long, flat throws terrify me. Colo isn't the best in the air, so I'd put Taylor in at RB as reinforcement and switch Beye to the left just for this game. Providing we snuff out their aerial threat, we should win comfortably.

Taylor would be there to add his heading ability for defensive set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'd go with GK - Given RB - Beye LB - Taylor CB - Coloccini CB - Bassong CM - Guthrie CM - Geremi CM - Gutierrez CF - Owen CF - Martins CF - Viduka I reckon he'll name an unchanged side though.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Is there a requirement as to how far your advertising hoardings have to be from the edge of the pitch? Would be sneaky if we could move them in a bit so Delap can't get a run up on his throws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
