4-1-3-1-1 away from home and 4-3-3 at home is the way forward

when you do your Radio Newcastle talk in, everybody should ring in and demand you as manager and owner.

With this achieved we can all stop moaning and bitching and concentrate on football and ale.

I would rather see plenty of pace on either wing. Barton is not a wide player, he needs to play through the middle or not at all for me like. Would be tempted to leave Cabaye on the bench to start with, it's too big a game to risk him being passed by. I guess it all depends on how both he and Vuckic have trained this week.

4-2-3-1
I'm hoping Ba turns out to be better than Shola but at the minute he's not. Plus Shola seems to step up his game in the Sunderland matches, that's why i'd start with him.

Can't wait to see Joey grab this game by the scruff of the neck.

Or a player if he cant do the game.

Workshy Fop · 17th August 2011 09:10 AM

Obertan should know whether he has the beating of Brown or not. If he has, then I'd play him up front alongside Shola. If not, then stick Shola up on his own and put Obertan out on the wing, probably something like Irish suggested.

Personally, I wouldn't play Joey this game. The mackems will target him mercilessly, and I think it would be a lot less risky to play Gosling alongside Tiote.

viana45 · 17th August 2011 09:15 AM

Bartons perfect for this game.
Who else to let the Frenchies know what this game means.

McCreery · 17th August 2011 09:20 AM

I'd start with Best and Obertan upfront..........If that isn't working get Barton off for Shola and push Obertan out on the wing

Vic · 17th August 2011 09:21 AM

Not playing Barton this game is suicidal, he could and probably will motivate the new lads for this, as will Steven Taylor. I think Barton will be well prepared to cop everything they throw at him and I don't think he will stuff up two games in a row, especially after the week he has had. *crosses fingers and toes*

McCreery · 17th August 2011 09:24 AM

motivate Vic??

he was supposed to be the biggest cunt on earth to the new lads in the dressing room after the Leeds friendly.....that was supposed to be the tipping point for him getting free transfered

Pardew said he would only be accepted back if Barton accepted it was the managers dressing room and not his

Irish Magpie · 17th August 2011 09:32 AM

Barton can at times be a liability, his form dipped toward the end of last season and his set pieces against Arsenal were desperate.

Having said that, he's still one of our better players when he's on form. I'd love to see Gosling get a chance ahead of him but i don't think it'll happen.

Pablo · 17th August 2011 09:37 AM

Barton will no doubt be bang up for the derby game, he revels in the hatred its part of what makes him what he is.

I dont know if thats the kind of thing that needs to be fed across to the new players though. Passion yes, but not channelled the way Joey often does.

If Shola is only capable of playing well against the mackems why the fuck is he still at the club?

Personally I would still play Barton because he is still one of the best midfielders we have but I wouldnt play Shola if there was a viable alternative (Ba, Obertan, Best?)

viana45 · 17th August 2011 09:38 AM

Mac that is unsubstantiated rubbish.
From the 'journalist' Lee Ryder who I used to have respect for.
Lee Ryder did an article on Barton in June saying he was great in the dressing room, that he was pulling his weight and a v important part of team morale attitude etc.

Then suddenly in July Lee Ryder writes a piece that you'd swear was ghost written by Llambias slagging him about his attitude.

Of course in the same article we had the exclusive on Obertan.

Chronicle scratches Ashleys back, he scratches theirs.

McCreery · 17th August 2011 09:50 AM

so he writes something you don't want to hear and now you don't respect him ??

Pablo · 17th August 2011 09:50 AM

Ooh I love a good conspiracy theory

Sal · 17th August 2011 09:51 AM

Cabaye has been quoted of late saying that Barton has been a great help to him settling in and in training.

Barton has to play, he knows fine well that they are going to target him, just like he knew against Wolves. I dont think thats when Barton freaks out, because he knows its coming, if you know what I mean. He loses it on more random occurrences like last weekend when Gervinho didnt even dive and he thought he did.

I hope Barton and Tiote start in the middle, there is no reason whatsoever to play him wide right now that we have Jonas, Marveux, HBA & Obertan in our squad.

~~ToonArmy1892~~ · 17th August 2011 09:52 AM

are we seriously gonna go into the mackem game without a left back again?! R Taylor got turned inside out on saturday!

viana45 · 17th August 2011 09:54 AM

Not just myself Mac.
There was plenty of other fans voicing their outrage.
So much so they held a Q and A about it.
The facts are there Ryder praised him in everyway going.
And wrote an unsubstantiated article, with no evidence, that Barton himself said was incorrect, a month after writing a totally contradicting article.

And of course the exclusive on Obertan came.

McCreery · 17th August 2011 10:04 AM

I have seen quotes from Pardew about it being his dressing room and Barton had to accept it

what were those quotes based on??

viana45 · 17th August 2011 10:47 AM

Your quoting Pardew?
Fucking hell.
Haven't seen those quotes anyway.

McCreery · 17th August 2011 10:54 AM

apologies.....I forgot barton was the total professional and had the full respect for his team mates

How could I have been so fuckin stupid to believe that Barton had lost the plot again........just as well there's no smoking in public areas these days

viana45 · 17th August 2011 11:05 AM

Makes no sense

Irish Magpie · 17th August 2011 11:16 AM

People that decide to argue with each other and spread it across every thread going.

Oh, sorry that was meant to go on the cunts corner thread about stuff that pisses you off.

hpoolmag · 17th August 2011 11:18 AM

It will be the same as last weekend

~~ToonArmy1892~~ · 17th August 2011 11:24 AM

this board is turning into the viana v mcreery show again, just PM each other, ffs.

what I was getting at is that I can totally understand how difficult it must be for you to believe that Barton could have gone on a rant in the dressing room after getting beat away from home to a team in a lower league.........I can also understand how you would think that he couldn't possibly have been in anyway disrespectfull to his manager or team mates as he has no history on either counts

again....I aplogise for thinking Barton was capable of causing any ill feeling within a squad....I must be getting him mixed up with someone else

viana45 · 17th August 2011 12:03 PM

You have nothing to substantiate your opinions though man.
The only JB I see, is one on twitter telling the truth.
And another driving force on the pitch, demanding the best from everyone including himself.
