olliemort Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Why not just play Smith off Owen and Martins? Like the sound of that,but dont think Owens anywhere fully fit yet!I would play Ameobi ahead of Viduka not because I think hes better but Vidukas looked fucked in the first 2 games,be a great sub to bring on though!

McCormick Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 We just have to pray to god Downing doesn't skin Carr all day long. Even then i'd fancy Taylor, Roz and Cacacacacacapa in the air against Mido and Aliadiere. Tuncay could well give Zog a torrid time too, if he's played LB. Just a thought.. but when the hell are we gonna see enrique?.. i know he wants to ease him in, but he's not gonna get eased in while on the bench.. he's not a baby, i'd assume he could cope and if not sub him off, easy enough.

Mr. Snrub Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 We're 13/8 to win this game, commence betting. Very confident about winning this match, Middlesbrough team is bollocks. 2-0 or 3-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Middlesbrough are shite and i'll be miffed if we don't win. If we attack like we attacked at Bolton, and forget this long-ball bollocks, we'll beat them comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vigge Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 We where a bit lucky offence wise versus Bolton, but good in defense. I reckon we gonna win this, anyone has a link with the injuries for boro, seemed extensive in the thread thinking of betting this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i'd have no problems with dropping Viduka, he's not fit and should work on his fitness for a fortnight. no suprise he's shagged out after playing in south east asia during the summer. smith has shown he can do a job up front, and even ameobi did more in 10 mins than viduka did in 80 at the weekend. Hope we drop Viduka, was very poor against Villa and wasn't that great against Bolton either. Christ on a bike. Think Amoebi deserves a chance as opposed to Viduka. We actually looked like we might have a chance of scoring when Shola came on. agree 100% with johnny and Stozo. sam's already said Viduka needs rest so i' thinking he may not feature/be on the bench. I'd start with the team in my sig and bring Owen etc on as and when needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you play up top then monkey? if everyone is fit? Martins and Owen. Viduka isn't really good enough, neither is Smith, and Ameobi is fucking awful. The idea of Viduka needing a rest is a joke, as much of a joke as the fellas on here who were saying he's a great signing, he'd score loads of goals, etc. He's a fat, lazy twat, and we've known that for years.

Viduka has certainly been very poor/shit so far for us. Glad you didn't want to start with him. Martins and Owen would be my second choice for Boro and if Shola wasn't getting anywhere i'd certainly be reverting to that combo. No height or physical presence mind, but i suppose we then have to play it on the deck which isn't nessesarily a bad thing, although not the Alladyce way. I know i have no chance of convincing you that its time to give shola a chance so i'm not going to. Do you think 442 or 433/451 ? who would you play on the right wing?

And no doubt he'll play Geremi again, unfortunately. If it were a 442, i'd play Milner on the rightm every time. You're right, you won't convince me about Shola - he's not good in the air, and poor on the deck as well. If he has to play, i'll get behind him, but i'll not be surprised when he's shit.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Harper Taylor Cacapa Roz Carr Milner Geremi Smith Zog Martins Dukes Owen Butt Ameobi Wildcard - being either Emre or one of LuaLua/Triosi Forster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I think he'll go 433 again. And no doubt he'll play Geremi again, unfortunately. Just wanted to quote this bit.. unfortunately? Who would you play instead? He had a weak game against Villa but with Emre not looking likely to be fit he's probably the best passer available from our CMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Dropping Viduka would give them the initiative. They'll go into the game terrified of him because they know better than anyone what he can do to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Viduka is still a class player, just because we had a hard time breaking down Villa's defence last week doesn't mean we have to start writing everyone off. I think we'll score a couple of goals against boro and win come Sunday, hopefully that will quieten down the panic merchants for another week.
