Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 If Barton, Saylor, etc. arent fit, i'd go with: Harper R. Taylor--- Beye--- Bassong--- Edgar Guthrie--- Nolan--- Jonas Owen Viduka--- Martins None of this starting Alan Smith shite, just because hes "ready to fight" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Guti, Duff & Guthrie in midfield if both Viduka and Martins are fit enough to start with Owen up front would be possible. Also depends on whether we have to play Ryan Taylor at the back if both Enrique and Steven Taylor aren't fit. But Nolan won't be anywhere near the first 11 I hope.

leannenufc 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Harper R. Taylor--- Beye--- Bassong--- Edgar Guthrie--- Nolan--- Jonas Owen Viduka--- Martins This. But with Enrique replacing Edgar if he's fit enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I agree that Nolan has been a sack of shite since arriving but hes certainly better than Nicky Butt and we need someone half decent in the tackle if we are playing three in midfield, Duff doesnt offer this, or much else IMO. I'm sure many will disagree though. S. Taylor and Enrique would slot right in if they were fit though of course, with R. Taylor taking a seat on the bench.

I get your point, and maybe we really need a player like Nolan on Monday night. I'd still prefer to start with Guthrie in the middle though, Duffer and Guti on on the left and the right. Nolan or Butt can't create anything, and we will have to against a defensive Pompey side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U Hater 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 But Viduka and Smith have been in a relegation battle like this before and so has Nolan. Good experience to have at this stage plus the fact there better players than our current other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thats a load of cliched bollocks. The fact theyve had relegation experience is down to them being shit for the last 35 games of the season at another club. Just cos someone has been relegated doesnt make them a better player than someone who hasnt, its the contrary if anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charvski 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) i agree with kid dynamite if it is a straight choice between butt, or nolan i would pick butt everyday of the week. Edited April 24, 2009 by charvski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Butt is shite and does nothing except slow down the movement of the ball infinitely, make shit passes, and make even worse tackles. Even worse than that he can't be arsed to run and defend as evidenced last week. He's a disgarce and I hope I never see him play again. That said I'm sure he'll yet again be in the starting 11 again for Monday's match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cos someone has been relegated doesnt make them a better player than someone who hasnt, its the contrary if anything Well I hardly think that the players concerned are shit, these sort of games have huge added pressure and players who have been there before are gonna be able to deal with it better than those that haven't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo 24 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) Butt is shite and does nothing except slow down the movement of the ball infinitely, make shit passes, and make even worse tackles.

That said I'm sure he'll yet again be in the starting 11 again for Monday's match. I wouldnt say hes a disgrace like, just getting on now and not the player he used to be. He's better than Nolen that's for sure. You have to play someone in that role and Nicky Butt is the strongest candidate whatever moan people might have about him. The most successful attackers up front would be the combination of Viduka & Martins with Owen playing deep off them. It doesn't seem like rocket science as far the midfield go. Despite how much as Shearer or any Newcastle fan hopes we simply don't have anybody who has any knowledge in being able to cross a ball so in my opinion we have to go a different route otherwise we are wasting valuable time on the pitch. So that leaves R. Taylor and Duff out of the picture. So that leaves us with potentially a fit Barton, Guthrie, Jonas, Butt & Lovenkrands. Do we play three at the back? I wouldn't like to, but maybe we cold get away with it playing Butt off the back four, Barton fighting it out in midfield with Owen, Jonas and Lovenkrands to lay the ball off too. Potential starting line-up? ............Martins.................Viduka ......................Owen ......Jonas..............Barton.....Lovenkrands .......................Butt ...Enrique..............Bassong................Baye ............................Harper Subs: Krul Edgar Duff Guthrie Smith Carroll Ranger Edited April 26, 2009 by Geordie Boyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
