Scottish Mag 3 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Newcastle United boss Glenn Roeder is hopeful of having Antoine Sibierski and Emre in his Magpies arsenal on Thursday. Roeder was without the pair for last Saturday's disappointing goalless draw with lowly Charlton at St James' Park. Newcastle take on Palermo in the Uefa Cup on Thursday and the ex-West Ham manager is crossing his fingers the pair are fit. The Serie A high-flyers have already eliminated The Hammers from Europe this season and Roeder is keen for Sibierski and Emre to shake off toe and back injuries respectively. "I'm hoping that both will be fit to take on the trip," said Roeder. "We are short in the striking department so it would come as a welcome relief to have Sibierski back, as well as Emre." Sibierski has undergone a fitness test ahead of the game and the former Manchester City man is confident of taking part in the clash. "I am feeling very good," said the French midfielder. "I should be ready for the game in Palermo. "I was very disappointed to pick up the injury because I felt so good." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44242 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Parker, Carr, Babayaro, Duff, Martins, Dyer and Amoebi all haven't travelled, and there are places in the squad for Forster, Huntington, Troisi, Pattison, O'Brien and Carroll. Maybe I was doing mong boy a disservice earlier. Although he still shouldn't be risking anyone that's slightly injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GafferTape 0 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 We're going to get absolutely murdered. Glad I can't watch it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GafferTape 0 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) So we'll line up something like this then? Harper; Taylor, Moore, Bramble, Ramage (or Bernard finally?); N'Zogbia, Butt, Emre (Pattison if not fit?), Solano; Milner, Sibierski Edited November 1, 2006 by GafferTape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the Sheffield match is infinitely more imporant and we should be resting as many players as possible for tomorrow's match. Having said that, it really is a sad state of affairs that we're going to one of Serie A's top teams with a bunch of reserves and kids. Especially when you think that Roeder got the job precisely because he managed to get us back into Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44242 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Steve Harper, Tim Krul, Fraser Forster, Pavel Srnicek, Shay Given, Steven Taylor, Craig Moore, Titus Bramble, Peter Ramage, Paul Huntington, Olivier Bernard, Nobby Solano, Emre, Charles N'Zogbia, Nicky Butt, James Milner, James Troisi, Matty Pattison, Alan O'Brien, Albert Luque, Giuseppe Rossi, Antoine Sibierski, Andy Carroll. A 23 man squad including 4 goalkeepers, plus Given who's injured and Rossi who's ineligible. Suppose it's a team spirit thing and a chance to include the youngsters.

TheInspiration 1 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Why isn't Duff in the squad? Rested I guess Roeder has already figured we'll lose, but good to see players are being rested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
