2bias 3 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I'd love a draw tonight. Go behind 1-0 and then sneek one back near fulltime, Smith to score!!!! more chance of harper scoring than smith He hasn't scored since his first game against Sampdoria so he is due one! I fancy him against his old team, come on Smudger!!! COME ON NEWCASTLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I'd like to think he won't even start. How come? Because I think Smith's absolutely finished. If he does start I hope he scores though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does start I hope he scores though I still reckon he can offer us something in the middle. Did well last season all be it in the Championship. Players who play aginast previous clubs always seem to have something extra about them so i think we could see a good performance from him.

Players who play aginast previous clubs always seem to have something extra about them so i think we could see a good performance from him. I don't think he did after the first 5 or 6 games in all honesty. It was actually a bonus when he got injured and it allowed Guthrie to play there. Nolan's play improved just be having someone who could put there foot on the ball in there too. The problem with Smith is his game is (was) all about legs and he doesn't seem to have the engine any more. Not his fault because he looks after himself. It's just the injuries have built up (especially the bad break playing for Man Utd against Liverpool). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we play Smith and Nolan they'll run rings round us. There's no place in the PL for two trundlers in midfield and I also think there's every chance he'll pick up a booking through mis-timed tackles. Hope you're right if he does play.

It's just the injuries have built up (especially the bad break playing for Man Utd against Liverpool). That leg broke was a nasty one when it happened and he never seemed the same player after that. I think when he played last season he worked well for the team on the park, Fair enough Nolan did too and added 10+ goals also so people will look at him more. As for Guthrie i actually forgot about him tbh lol now with Barton fit aswell we have alot of competition for those two central midfield places which is a good thing in my mind. Nolan being the captain is basically a cert to start so there is one other place for either Smith, Barton or Guthrie..unless i have forgotten anyone else. I just reckon it being Man United Smith will get the nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19788 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 with andy carrol up top. i hope to fuck he plays routeledge and jonas or they'll be running rings around us when it comes to pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Good chance we'll play 5 in the middle anyway I reckon. Without doubt. If he plays Barton and Guthrie in the middle, with Routledge and Jonas out wide and Nolan supporting Carroll, i wont be complaining. He may opt for Smith to sit in front of the back 4, which will be a mistake imo but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Poss starting 11s from Skysports Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Vidic, Evans, Fabio, Scholes, Carrick, Park, Valencia, Rooney, Owen. Newcastle: Harper, Perch, Taylor, Coloccini, Gutierrez, Nolan, Barton, Guthrie, Routledge, Carroll, Smith. They have us going for the tried and tested 3-6-1 with, presumably, an injured defender.

Ayatollah Hermione 12757 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 What's Sky been smoking recently? They've been shite. Harper, Perch, Enrique, Coloccini, Williamson, Routledge, Gutierrez, Guthrie, Barton, Nolan, Carroll will probably be how we line up, injuries notwithstanding.

IrishMag 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Jose up against Valencia will be interesting to see how much he has come on since we were last in the Premier League. Looked magnificent and settled last season, let's hope he can do as well this time round. Big opening test for him. The old familiar feeling of dread before a Premier League tie is back.
