Minhosa Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 time for gosling? we're running out of options..... Not the game to bring a young debutant into let alone one that's coming back from a serious injury and not even had a run in the reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 No way we can throw Gosling into a derby game after no competitive matches for about nine months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 There's no reason to think we'll play anything like today. It's a totally different ball game, the FA Cup away to Stevenage is such a different situation in so many ways. I've got faith we'll bounce back.

JH Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 No way we can throw Gosling into a derby game after no competitive matches for about nine months. How long have you been supporting Newcastle? I wouldn't be surprised if we played Smith in goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Routledge should be nowhere near. Looked over awed today, he might have a breakdown in this one. Harper Simpson Taylor/Will Colo Enrique Barton Nolan Guthrie Jonas Ameobi Best :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Nolan and Guthrie??? Words fail me ... Rather Nolan and Smith? Rather no Nolan thank you. He can't play in midfield without Tiote. Simples. So you're advocating Guthrie and Smith? Barton and any other midfielder bar Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistle17 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 He'll probably go one up front with Nolan behind whoever up top and Barton-Smith in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Nolan (with 8 days rest and a point to prove after today) absolutely has to start imho. He's not the medium term answer but we've got nobody else who can do what he can from midfield, so he's a starter for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealios Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Nolan is a cleverer footballer than anyone we have at the moment. He might have looked shit today, but I would never bet against him scoring in any game. Take note Messi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Speculating is all well and good, but I can't personally see Pardew instituting any kind of meritocracy when it comes to team selection. Talking of Vuckic/Gosling/Ferguson starting is a fun indulgence, but no more. Pardew will pick four of Barton, Nolan, Gutierrez, Smith, Routledge. FWIW, my zany idea/indulgence would be to play Williamson as a DM as he usually plays fantastically on big occasions and his distribution is far better than you'd expect.

I don't know if Pardew will feel pressured to go 4-4-2 because of the occasion, but I thought he may go 4-4-1-1 with something like Routledge Smith Barton Jonas Nolan Striker???

BeloEmre Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 If Carroll and Shola are fit, they both have to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrew Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Harper Simp Williamson Saylor Enrique Barton Coloccini Nolan Jonas Ameobi Carroll is what I'd do if it came to it. Nolan with Smith or guthrie won't work because guthrie and smith are both shit. but hey, will never happen. i think we'll get shola and andy back and play 4-4-2 with rout, barton, nolan and guti in the midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Taylor Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Nolan who played alongside Tiote in that game you are referencing Fair enough he's not half as good without Tiote to hold his hand.

Robster Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 People were worried about how we would fare without Carroll. We scored 6 goals in 2 games. Be positive lads and lasses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
