Norwich vs Newcastle - 10/12/11 - Pre Match Thread


Recommended Posts

Obviously not expecting a lot from this. Teams with no central defenders generally don't win games.

 

Opportunity for Kadar to show something, if nothing else.

 

If he can't even get himself picked here he might as well just leave.

It's a game where we'll need a bit more brawn so I would have Best back in for HBA.

 

The rest of the side picks itself. Im concerned though that yesterday was a day when the wheels came off with a deflating result and major injuries. The continuing absence of Tiote as well. I think a narrow 2-1 home win and time to regroup before the two pre Christmas home games.

I'd play Guthrie ahead of Cabaye if Tiote makes it which I doubt.

 

Not for me, Cabaye's in his first season and has performed considerably better against the lesser teams and when he's got Tiote nest to him. For all Guthrie's been great I think Cabaye will be more useful away from home being the extra bit more mobile.

 

That said I wouldn't be too dis-heartened if Guthrie played, he's been great.

I think for the majority of games Cabaye's been decent rather than great. Guthrie's been the better midfielder over the last month.

'Cos I like Shola and all you haters can piss off. Might be too much to expect two good games in a row from him admittedly.

Shola played the odd game at centre back in his younger days at youth/reserve level.  He might be needed again,  I just hope if he did go back there he's as good as catching people offside as he is at being caught offside.
