Fenham Mag Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 What's the attendence looking like? 50k+? Plenty of empty seats by the look of things. 46-47,000 i would say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not a great start to the season for Marveaux. Why? Not a great start to the season for Marveaux. Why? Well despite everyone claiming he was fully fit nearly two months ago, he missed most of the pre-season action and isn't fit enough to be involved yet. Not ideal is it? No not ideal, but a little harsh to say it isn't a great start to the season, when he could still make a huge impact coming off the bench for the first few games. Unless of course he isn't fit enough for that either? Nobody ever claimed he was fully fit two months ago either, Dave in talking shite shocker!

Rocker Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'd do something like this. Maybe swap Gosling and Simpson around. ----------------------Krul--------------------- Gosling---S.Taylor---Colo---Simpson Barton-----Tiote-----Cabaye-----Jonas -------------Best------------Ba------------- Dinosaur, meet up before game?

Decky Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think Simpson might be tried at LB, simply because Taylor can play RB. --------------------Harper--------------------- Taylor---Williamson---Colo---Simpson Obertan-----Tiote-----Cabaye-----Jonas -------------Best------------Ba------------- A bit shit really as I think Barton on that right side would give us a really decent midfield for this game. Enrique's departure completely rattles the defence though, so hopefully this is the only game without a decent LB. We're going to be weak as fuck down that left side tomorrow.

Quailman Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 To be safe lets change our formation and go 3 at the back against Arsenal? I read that as 5-4-1 - so plenty of security at the back... just little to sting them with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ba up top by himself and pack the midfield to stop Arsenal playing their tippy tappy nonsense. I'd play a midfield of Barton, Tiote, Cabaye, Gosling and Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see where the club get off with claiming that only a limited number of seats remain here: http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20110811/arsenal-pre-match-ticket-and-travel-news_2281670_2416172 , theres loads left.

Well despite everyone claiming he was fully fit nearly two months ago, he missed most of the pre-season action and isn't fit enough to be involved yet. Not ideal is it? Played 3, missed 3 hasn't he? Played 138 minutes in three of the six matches. And for the record: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2011/06/21/newcastle-signing-sylvain-marveaux-denies-he-failed-liverpool-fc-medical-100252-28911413/ Newcastle signing Sylvain Marveaux denies he failed Liverpool FC medical Jun 21 2011 RENNES midfielder Sylvain Marveaux has denied reports he failed a medical at Liverpool. The winger has signed a five year contract at Newcastle. The Reds have never officially confirmed any interest in the 25-year-old, who underwent groin surgery in February and has not played in eight months. But reports at the weekend claimed he had undergone – and failed – a medical. Marveaux said: “Frankly, those rumours aren’t anything. “I am perfectly fit, and capable of playing again. “I resumed individual training sessions at Rennes late last season and I could have played the last match. “I am a little disgusted to read rumours like that because it could affect the rest of my career.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Marveaux saying he's fit and able to play again in response to claims he failed a medical doesn't equal him being fully match fit. We've obviously had to bring him back in slowly because he hadn't played a match for several months before joining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
