Yorkie Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Think it's pretty safe to assume any combination from our selection of centre backs are going to struggle against Sturridge and Suarez. It will be a difficult contest, without a doubt, but we don't have to 'struggle'. I'm not denying that a performance from a centre-back can be a gamechanger, nor would I absolve any defender of blame if they made a mistake that cost a goal - but there's so much onus on the defenders themselves. If we played well as a team, we could actually win the game and contain their forwards in the process. They're very good but hardly an unstoppable force. Unfortunately, Pardew probably holds the mentality you've suggested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Miles Starforth @milesstarforth 1m Steven Taylor 'touch and go' for derby, according to Alan Pardew. #nufc #safc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 He'll play.... doubt Colo will though we'll save him for City and Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 He'll play.... doubt Colo will though we'll save him for City and Chelsea. Sounds to me like both of them could probably do with another week's training under their belt, but Pards is going to take a chance on one of them for sure.

Pilko Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Sounds like one could play for 65-70 minutes and the other might come on for them later in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If he does play he'll be chomping at the bit. Hopefully he is fit though as we know how prone he is to breaking down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Would love him to score the winner against them like, they'd be absolutely foaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If he does play he'll be chomping at the bit. Hopefully he is fit though as we know how prone he is to breaking down. My worry with him is he'll commendably always prefer to play through and be a hero rather than accepting he isn't fully fit and saying that he can't go on.

sempuki Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Sounds like one could play for 65-70 minutes and the other might come on for them later in the game. Feel relaxed about this - think Taylor will give his all as usual if he plays. If not, I have no problems with Dummett against Altidore and co.

BrettNUFC Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Altidore will eat Dummett for breakfast. 5 starts, 2 sub appearances and zero goals suggest to me he's not eating anybody for breakfast anytime soon. No need to worry about this striker just yet when he hasn't shown us anything to be frightened of in the PL, let alone eating one of our players for breakie.

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 He can out muscle Dummett all he wants if he doesn't score i couldn't care less. Anyway considering the news about Colo and Taylor today i doubt he's going to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I'd be nervous playing Dummett at left back in this game, never mind centre half. As good as he may be in the future, right now he's incredibly inexperienced at this level, and throwing him in at centre back at the Stadium of Light would be risky. No fucking around here, if Taylor and Colo are fit to play a half each then that's the road we should go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
