James Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I had just come on here solely to say that Smith is the best foil for Owen out of all our strikers, assuming he adopted a similar role for us. It merely depends on whether you think he should play. I think so, as when fit, he is a proven consistent scorer, and was unlucky tonight against one of the best international centre back pairings around.

Cronky Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Not a lot to choose between the options, but I voted for Owen - Shola. Viduka looks very unfit and in need of a shock to the system. If Shola had played like he did on Saturday, this board would be heaving with people demanding that he gets the boot, not complaining about 'the service'. I don't doubt his talent with the ball at his feet, and facing the goal, but he needs to work harder for those opportunities. Smith is tempting but he now looks very slow and has difficulty holding the ball up as a striker. I'd see his future in midfield. With Owen and Martins you have two finishers, and I don't think that can work as a combo. Owen plays with more intelligence, so I went for him. But Allardyce's 4-3-3 looks progressive to me, and ultimately I'd like to see him bring in the player or players to make that system work to its optimum.

Mowen Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 If we're going to do this hypothetically you have to assume everyone is fully fit; in which case I'd go for Owen and Viduka. Martins would be a pretty exciting impact sub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 If 442, Shola and Owen with Martins on the RW v boro. Viduka is tired/ineffective at the moment. At the start of the season i'd have said viduka and Owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the season i'd have said viduka and Owen I'd be very surprised if Owen starts on Sunday. If we were to play 4-4-2 it wouldn't be a shock to see Shola and Martins line up; they looked as though they had the makings of an understanding in the few games they played together at the start of last season.

In fairness, i can't see Allardyce playing a 442 anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
