So in other words if we create naff all in the centre mid today its down to arteta because all Phil has to do is pass the short simple balls?

Not really as I would naturally expect Arteta, Rodwell & Ossie to be responsible for creating our attacking moves in the final 1/3rd. Whilst Felli is able to join attacks as well as be a man mountain in the DM role, I don't expect or want Phil involved in the attacking moves further up the field as he won't get back on the counter attacks- best for him to keep a pretty static line within reason.

I'm feeling slightly confident about this match. If only because things can't get worse than the Bolton and Reading matches.

my feelings are that if we can fail to turn up in those 2 games, then it's quite possible that we will fail to turn up against anyone.

I think rodwell will play on the right to counter enrique,s runs from left full for them. A bit like us, thats where most of there play comes from. Arteta or osman wouldnt have the legs for it.

Nev is so uncomfortable with the ball when you put pressure on him, he just panicks, dont see the logic in this so we will see how it plays out.

Rodwell on the right......

Wow. Unbelievable.

Good spot Davek.

The worst part is that I've seen the Executioner's Bong plagiarised by the Echo before. It's pretty brazen. If I was EB I'd be right on the blower to them.

Quick stat,

Everton have not won at St James' since 2000 while Newcastle have lost one of nine league games in 2011.

Rodwell on the right......

That'll be because he was such a success out there against Villa away last time he played there....hold on.....

I'm glad Hibberts replacing Neville at RB, because Nevilles been nothing short of absolutely useless playing there. I would preferred to have seen Heitinga in the middle, but obviously Neville can't be dropped if he's fit ffs. The OS says Arteta could be played in a wider role... I wouldn't mind that, I think it could actually prove to be a really good move. COYB

Without a doubt. I'd think there would certainly be some compensation due. Just goes to show how lazy the journos are and worse, how many other times have they plagarized someone else's work.

Its terrible IMO.

Oh and its the most chock full of pace team I've seen in a long time.

 

[TX Bill]

I don't mind having Hibbert in there.

Fresh legs and will be chomping at the bit.
