not_a_racist 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I agree about Shola like if he's upfront alone *tin hat on*Won't happen like. 47979[/snapback] Remember what happened to the last manager who thought it would be a good idea to drop Shearer in favour of a younger striker for the mackem game! Seriously though, whilst i think Shearer is on his way out the idea of facing the mackems with Shola up front on his own carrying the goal scoring responsibility is enough to drive fans to insanity. This is Big Al's last crack at the mackems at St. James and who knows may end up as his last ever derby, he will be s fired up and read to give it everything for the las chance he has against them. I can't believe people would rather go into battle against the mackems with Shola on his own! 48093[/snapback] Too true. Souness will go soon enough and the next manager will have a better squad od better professionals to choose from. His dirty work is done. The mackems game needs people who understand the area involved and nobody will be up for it more than Alan Shearer. He needs support and Owen is our best bet there obviously. Without Owen, Dyer and Luque we lack pace. Solano is a bonus simply because the dead ball expertise has improved with him and Emre back. shearer thrives on that. Bowyer has been awful his season but he isnt a dead ball specialist and his corner taking has been poor (why he cant find a man n black and white in open play is beyond most though), as has Zogbias. With those two we increase the service to Shearer. He needs it and he needs pace. He has regularly had neither lately. If Owen is fit we have good pros who can provide all of those things.

chip2388 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 The return of Emre and Solano means chances for Shearer, even though hes past it i can see him nicking a few. We'll be more dangerous at set-pieces also so maybe even stick a tenner on Taylor. Optimistic i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley 0 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 So really, only Luque & Babayaro are missing from what would be considered Souness' first XI.No excuses. 47994[/snapback] bramble,babayaro,bowyer,moore and luque all still out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag Max 0 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Despite all the money that's been spent in summer we should be looking at investing at least another £10m - £15m in January on two quality strikers. Our options right now (Owen excluded) are embarassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably see tomorrow. Given, Carr, Elliott, Taylor, Boumsong, Solano, N'Zogbia, Emre, Parker, Shearer & Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
