Isegrim 8868 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 i wonder how this 4-3-3 would get on -------------------------given beye-----rozehnal-----------cacapa---------enrique -----------------------geremi ----------barton----------------n'zogbia martins---------------viduka------------------duff Strangely missing our best player out of that team You're surely not meaning Owen? Maybe it's because he's crocked again. By the way, why is it "a good point" when someone mentions Duff's never seemed motivated to play for Newcastle, but absolute rubbish when I say Owen's never seemed motivated either? Tbh they seem to be two sides of the same coin - both good for other teams, both came here for the money, both perenially injured and lacking in form. When Owen plays he looks motivated enough to me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6293 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Along with Joey Barton, Duff's a player I keep forgetting we have! If at the beginning of 2005 someone told you we'd have Owen, Smith, Barton & Duff on our books in a little over 2 years, we'd have been creaming ourselves. Yet still some don't seem impressed with any of them. The motivational thing for me is down to the manager. I think Sam will likely get a lot more out of Duff than Roeder could have ever dreamed of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually Owen is going to be completely replaced with new bionic parts, then we might start getting a decent return on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are Viduka or Martins imo. i agree about viduka but i think martins can do a decent job out wide in a 4-3-3. it looks like sam will stick with 4-3-3 while owen is out. i think that lineup above could be the most effective use of the formation with the players at our disposal.

Is Owen not due back before Duff? your guess is as good as mine. i don't think we can plan the way we play around owen though until he puts in more than two games in a row before breaking down injured again.
