Guest toonlass Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Got to put a strong team out I think. I would go with Given Taylor Colo Bassong Enrique Jonas Charlie Guthrie Duff Owen Carroll Wish I could replace the RB and LB with others but hey ho, us to win 2-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Forgot this was on Wednesday. I'd go with the same XI toonlass has picked, though I fully expect Butt to be recalled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 What do people think the crowd will be? After seeing some numbers at Celtic & Sunderland for cup games & hearing that the nightclubs in town are getting record low numbers in for Jan, I reckon 25K will be an awesome crowd, anything more & start giving the people* a free pint token for H/T. Kids = FUCK OFF!! Yous got in for £5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he's by far the best left back we've had since the days of Bernard (Mark I). He's nowhere near the finished article but I'm lost as to why he gets so much abuse. Perhaps you've been watching training along with JFK, someone else who doesn't seem to rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you've been watching training along with JFK, someone else who doesn't seem to rate him. To be fair, when the players who've occupied that position since have been Babayaro, Elliott, Edgar, Carr, Ramage, Huntington, N'Zogbia & Duff, it's not really hard to be the best in that position since Bernard.

Guest The Libertine Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 i'd rest owen as i'd rather he was fit and ready for blackburn. of course that would mean xisco coming in, which is very unlikely, but this is the ideal time for him to play.

Steven Taylor was infinitely worse but Enrique still has a lot of work to do. I would use the term 'erratic' over 'woeful' - some of it was creative, inventive and accurate while others (such as that hospital pass at the start of the second half) were abject and way short of the standard required. Overall though, he covered for other people's mistakes and in turn they (well, Bassong) covered for his couple of ricks (a sliced attempt to clear in the first half springs to mind). I'm just amazed at the vitiriol that some people (not necessarily you Toonlass) spew towards him during the match when we've gone for so long with genuinely awful left-backs. The song Big Yellow Taxi springs to mind... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I think Hull's poor recent form might help us in that I reckon Brown will be looking over his shoulder in the league now and will probably field a weakened side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Which is why I said "if I could". "If I could" I'd probably also replace Taylor, Guthrie, Duff, Carroll and the Zog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Would go with. Given Edgar Taylor Colo Enrique Lua Lua Butt Geremi Zoggy Duff Caroll Would love to put out full strength but winning league games comes first. If Bassong gets injured we will struggle. If Owen gets injured we wont score goals. Plus Jonas is a booking away from a ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Team; Given Taylor Coloccini Bassong Enrique Butt Guthrie Duff Jonas Owen Carroll Score; 3-1 Two positives to come out of the West Ham games were Jonas playing on the left and Carroll's goal. Butt will come back in and that's probably the correct choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Butt will come straight back in, and considering that the alternatives are a want-away, out of position player and Geremi, I'm not sure I can disagree with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
