Portsmouth vs Newcastle - 14/12/08 - Pre Match Thread


Recommended Posts

The last two times we've went into the relegation zone on the back of playing our game after everyone else around us, we've managed to get a win, so I've got a feeling we might just nick it tomorrow. 1-0, late Viduka header.

A strong barrier in midfield must be in place to stop them moving forward but they must push forward when the game is in our hands - owen is not much use dropping back as we will need his pace against a tall portsmouth defence. I can see this being a good battle with either team winning, the only difference being the ability to finish chances.

 

I'll happily take a draw going into the game, with eager anticipation of which newcastle united show up!

I don't think it would be wise for Joe Kinnear to risk Butt, Guthrie and Damien Duff in a 4-4-2 today with 3 games in 7 days over Chrismas coming up.

 

I'd be tempted to go with the three up top today.

 

                  Given

            Taylor  Coloccini

   Beye                           Enrique

                  Butt

       Geremi      Gutierrez

                Viduka

           Owen   Martins

Not a bad side and a decent bench. Would of preferred to have Geremi in the middle of the park. Pompeys centre midfield pairing isn't great either, Davis and Hughes, shouldn't be to over run with those two.
