Another important game for us today, no question. United and the teams just below us all won yesterday so we really could do with picking up the 3 points.

Newcastle's defence is bad, we all know that, but they're not as bad as some on here are making out and they've certainly looked a better defensive unit since Souness left. That combined with our well documented problems scoring would suggest this will be a tight game.

I expect Gerrard to get back on track today, we certainly need him to step it up with Momo out and Alonso suspended still. Up front I'd recall Crouch, his hold up play away from home is good and will come in handy today as it will benefit us to bypass Newcastle's decent midfield by at times looking long.

We'll certainly create chances today, whether we can convert them is the key, but I predict a narrow 2-1 to us.

I'd go with:

Reina

Finnan Carra Hyypia Warnock

Kromkamp Hamann Gerrard Kewell

Crouch Fowler

I wonder if Rafa will rotate the squad again to day with the FA Cup in mind? It's absolute bollox having to play again on Tuesday. I've got a feeling this one will finish 1-1 and i wouldn't be too down with that. Untill the mancs game Newcastle have been playing well under Roeder and they'll have a big crowd behind them. I'd like to see Crouch and Fowler start this one but think the boss might go with Morientes again. Am gutted Jonny Riise is still out. We've really missed him.

We've kicked goals without Crouch in the starting lineup in the last game so why start him again, this Crouch & Fowler combo does not work!

Reina

My hunch is that if Cisse plays, he will have a blinder and score. Talk about putting your neck on the block predicting that from Cisse but I think he'll cause their defence all sorts of problems.

To be honest Mick,thought something very similar myself.If Cisse plays a central striking role he could indeed......

Hope you're right Mick

It wouldn't surprise me if Cisse pulled a good performance out of his ar.se today. I'd rather Fowler had started alongside Crouch but I'm also glad Morientes isn't starting.

In fact I'm puzzled Fowler isn't starting, especially as he's cup-tied for Tuesday so he won't be playing then either.

Also a strange decision to move Carra from CB. The only other option is that he's playing 3 at the back with Warnock and Kromkamp as wing backs, but I really can't see that.

by **MilitiaRusher** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 2:08 pm

Carra at right back.

Are there any live streams people? I used to use pplive but the footy channells have all vanished

by **Cool Hand Luke** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 2:10 pm

Anyone else think we may use the wing back system today?

Reina

Carrgher Hyypia Agger
Kromkamp Warnock

Gerrard Hamann Kewell

Crouch Cisse

or like this:

Reina

Carrgher Hyypia Agger
Kromkamp Warnock

Gerrard Hamann
Cisse Kewell
Crouch
