Scottish Mag 3 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Newcastle's Alan Smith has been handed a two-match ban by the Football Association following his sending off at Manchester United on Saturday. Smith was shown red in the closing seconds at Old Trafford as his former club completed a 6-0 rout over the managerless Magpies. Smith will now miss the FA Cup third round replay against Stoke on Wednesday and the Barclays Premier League clash with Bolton. Another former Red Devils midfielder, Nicky Butt, is also out of the club's next two fixtures after he was cautioned for the 10th time this season in the first match against the Potters.

NJS 4446 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 We look a bit left-footed in midfield - unless he plays Lua Lua or another kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Taylor could fill Butt's boots against stoke. Might be too attack oriented though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Surely we can find two other players to chip shots over the bar and pick up bookings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norbert Colon 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Surely we can find two other players to chip shots over the bar and pick up bookings? No doubt but who is goin to deliver the two-footed leg breaking tackle and spend the other 85mins of the match on their arse in the same way that good ol' smithy does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10017 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 We look a bit left-footed in midfield - unless he plays Lua Lua or another kid. And? I've never seen people being worried about having three (or more) right-footed players in midfield... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen people being worried about having three (or more) right-footed players in midfield... In general left footed players tend to be more one footed than right footed ones (was going to say normal there - sorry ) - when you look at Charlie and Emre I think it illustrates my point.

Ally 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Rozehnal and Emre for me. Roz should be kept clear of the defence, has enough ability on the ball to do something in midfield I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
