AZ Alkmaar vs Newcastle United - Pre match thread


Recommended Posts

I completely agree with the Nut here. I thought they were fairly f****** terrible at SJP and incredibly boring to watch, aye we know you can pass the ball between the defenders and the goalkeeper, well done. Their lack of a right-back was something else I picked up on, one of their centre-halves was always yelling for somebody to track back and cover Duff. They do seem to have pace either side of Arveladze and Dembelele starting will probably make a difference to them, but I'm still confident we'll go through. 2-2 draw or something along those lines, but I favour us to win over them.

 

Hope this doesn't come back to bite me on the tukkus.

 

^^ We played like our worst match of the season versus Newcastle.

 

I just saw some Newcastle supporters in the city, I hope they will still be nice after we beat you tonight.

 

Na, ya ganna gets cutz, aiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

:hmm:

So it'll be:

 

               Given

Nobby Taylor Bramble Hunty

Dyer    Butt    Parker    Duff

        Sibi      Martins

 

Could be worse. A little worried that Taylor may not be at his full but is being played anyway through lack of options in the back. Didn't he sit out training yesterday? At least Carr's out, though.

The AZ defense is crap. I'm going against 46 years of conditioning here, but Newcastle will score tonight, and that makes things very difficult for AZ. I'm optimistic. There, I've really done it now.

At least they have that nutball in goal again, let's hope he continues from where he left-off last time around: by that I mean with his constant fannying around, not that save he made from Martins.

Yes, but they've also given up 2 goals at home in three separate UEFA matches.  They arent' putting 4 past us tonight, even if Titus has a 'mare.

I'll shut up now ~ completely tempting the fates.
