NUFC vs. Manchester City 9/23[R] Pre/During/Post

[tigerdave]

Dyer, Emre, and Nobby may or may not be back for this one. Souey says all three are 50-50 right now as to whether they'll be recovered. Parker, Moore, and Ameobi are available this week. Taylor is suspended from the two bookings against Blackburn.

With the albatross of the first win off the club's neck, I'm thinking they won't be looking back. 3-1 to the Toon, Owen with a brace.

No TV again ******** anybody got a radio link or something!?

[Toon³]

Yes you are.

[ROMERO879]

Damn, Solano might not play again.

[JayRockers!]

Man City was dangerous vs. Bolton, they should have won. Citeh hit the woodwork like 4 times and Reyna had a sitter that Jussi tipped away with his toes. This could be the shocking truth that the mid-table teams could kill NUFC and we only play over our heads against the ManU's and Che£$ki's and dominate the sh!t like Blackburn and Sunderland.

Thx,

Jay!

The Bosphorus bull: our most optimistic poster.

Here's to hoping we get at least 1 player fit, and take it from there. As much as I'd love to see them all return on Saturday, I would have the feeling that Souey is just rushing them back yet again. The important thing is to have them for hte long term.

I predict a one nil victory for NUFC - but if Souness rushes anyone back to the lineup I predict that we I will be posting on the replace Souness threads

[tigerdave]

Nobby has pretty much ruled himself out for this one. No definitive reports on Dyer or Emre that I've found as of yet.

[tigerdave]

icNewcastle is reporting that all three have been ruled out of tomorrow's match.

Graeme Souness has finally admitted defeat in his bid to get his "big three" midfielders Emre (pictured), Kieron Dyer and Nobby Solano into the Newcastle line-up for tomorrow's game with Man City at St James' Park.

While Scott Parker will return after suspension for Amady Faye, Souness is happy to go with the rest of the midfield that did so well in Sunday's fine 3-0 victory at Blackburn Rovers.

Souness said today: "I have decided not to risk Emre, Kieron Dyer or Nobby Solano and give them more time. If it had been a Cup semi-final or final then we would probably have sent them out.

"But we want to make sure they are all 100 per cent and the last thing I want to do is play them and watch them break down again and have another month on the sidelines."

Emre has impressed everyone at St James' Park, not only with his playing ability but with his attitude, and the Turkish international is distraught at spending so much time on the sidelines with his hamstring injury.

He said today: "I want to play but I must be careful. I feel all right and I'm back in training but I'm worried that if I try to play when I am not ready then I will get injured again.

"I do not want to miss any more games through injury and maybe I will wait another week just to make sure."

What has made Souness' decision to give Emre, Solano and Dyer more time is the fact that he has the excellent Parker back after the England international served his one-match ban at Blackburn following his red card in the 1-1 draw with Fulham a fortnight ago.

Added to this is the form shown by Lee Clark and Charles N'Zogbia in midfield in the second half last Saturday.

Indeed, Clark looks as though he would be comfortable playing the midfield holding role and if Souness goes for this it would release Parker into a more attacking role.

The United boss would not name his team today but it would not surprise me if he made two changes from Sunday's team which won at Blackburn with Parker coming in for Faye and Titus Bramble starting for the suspended Steven Taylor with a fit-again Shola Ameobi back on the bench.

Taylor is one of only three United players - skipper Alan Shearer and his vice captain Jean Alain Boumsong are the other two - who has started all 10 League and Intertoto Cup games this season and the England Under-21 international will lose this record tomorrow.

[Nicodemus145]

Anyone feel like doing some live comm. this weekend? Or is it another exciting day of staring at the Gamecast screen for me again?

[Toon³]

I'm at the match so no commentary from me possible :p

[tigerdave]

Slightly off-topic, but not really, because it has to do with Stuart Pearce. He claims he learned how NOT to be a manager from watching Ruud Gullit at NUFC. :cool:

Anyway, last chance at changing predictions, I guess...but I won't. 3-1, haway the lads.
