Newcastle Fan Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Shola injured? Tactical change, were playing 1 upfront. Not a bad formation imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Smith not in the starting 11. That's good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Routledge against an intimidatingly decent side = unconfident/anonymous. Hope I'm proved wrong. Not happy with that selection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Worried about delivery. Suppose if we're to get anything today we'll have to hold firm and work off set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Putting him in the position he's played his whole career? Hardly a shocking decision when the alternative is Guthrie or Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 If we had to go with 1 up top, that's what I would have went with Wouldn't have gone 1 up top like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Krul; Simpson, S Taylor, Coloccini, Enrique; Routledge, Barton, Tiote, Gutierrez; Nolan; Carroll Good team. Quite impressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Seems like we're conceding the initiative before it starts but City are strong in the middle of the park so I see where Pardew is coming from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Routledge is going to have to put a decent shift in tracking back as Kolarov (if he is playing) gets forward well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Best he could do imo. Keep ranger as an impact sub, shift Nolan up and bring Barton inside. All without Smith being anywhere near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Routledge has played better lately.. rather have him than Smith and Guthrie.. Barton can be equally good in the center Howay the lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 If you compare it to the Villa team we've got Simpson for Perch, Taylor for Williamson and Tiote for Smith. Don't see the problem whatsoever with this line up. Plenty of goals in there and it's mainly set pieces where Barton's threat has came from anyway which we'll still have.
