KaKa Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Anyone want to have a guess? The defence should pick itself really. Butt and Nolan centre mid I imagine and Duff and Jonas out wide. Oba and Owen up top. Really hoping he inspires Oba to raise his game as Oba is a fan of his. Owen's place in the team is essentially guaranteed now and let's hope this gets him going and puts a smile on that sombre face of his. Shearer needs to grab Duff and Jonas by the throat and demand that their number one priority the rest of the way should be to get crosses into the box. Captain? No idea.

Dave Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I wonder if Shearer will be tempted to play the 'Keegan' system. Especially if Owen's nagging him about it. Martins Carroll Owen Jonas Butt Nolan Enrique Bassong Taylor Beye Harper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martins Carroll Owen Jonas Butt Nolan Enrique Bassong Taylor Beye Harper Can't see any reason to pick Carroll over Lovenkrands. I think we could see the reemergence of Xisco under Shearer, or wait is Viduka still employed by us?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You raise a good point but I'm not sure if we can play this system with the likes of Carroll or Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I only picked Carroll over Lovenkrands because of that system. Someone to hold the ball up. Yeah, it makes sense and I agree I don't think it would quite work with Owen behind Oba and Loven. Viduka is such a freakin' compost heap. If he was fit this formation would be a lot more likely.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Is Carrol fit? Seems like I haven't seen him for ages. Frankly, I think Xisco and Foluwashola will be ahead of Carroll in the pecking order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Wonder if Owen will be staying now ?? What a boost.......for all the players. True leader. This is a worry tbh. I'm sure it will be a boost for him and he will do a lot better, but not so sure if he is worth keeping around even if this happens. His fitness is a huge worry at this point and that salary of his is massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it makes sense and I agree I don't think it would quite work with Owen behind Oba and Loven. Viduka is such a freakin' compost heap. If he was fit this formation would be a lot more likely. i think owen oba and loven could do very well. there are no wingers in that system so height in the box isn't really an imperitive and oba and loven could tear apart the defence and create space for owen (who needs people to create space for him) to score goals, and he does that better than pretty much anyone in the league bar 1 or 2. we'd just need to keep the ball on the floor, which we do have the players to do imo. owen and oba can also be good in the air , particulary owen.

If we can get him off ridiculous wages he'd be very very useful for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well he likes wingers who can cross so that doesn't bode well for Jonas. All I can ask of him is that we only use Nicky Butt and Ameobi as last resorts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
