Anzi Makhachkala v Newcastle United - Official Match Day / Build Up Thread

Just looking up Eto'o's stats, and skim-read his salary. Then I realised footballers get paid PER WEEK. He's in £350,000 PER WEEK.

 

Predicted team for tonight

Elliot

Simmo Mwbia Saylor Haidara

Tiote Cabaye

Sissoko

Marv Shola HBA

 

Krul's injured. HBA is unlikely to get more than 30 minutes.

if it were me


Elliott

Simmon Saylor Mbiwa Haidara

Tiote Cabaye

Marv Sissoko Santon

Shola


Expect to see Santon at LB though, with Marv LW and Anita RW

 

Oops forgot about Krul being injured lol. Agree with most of that Fred but I don't see Pards playing Santon out of position in a big game like this. On HBA, you are probably correct but here's hoping eh

 

Elliot

Simmo Saylor Mbiwa Haidara

Tiote Cabaye

Obertan Sissoko Gouffran

Shola



Yep, I called it.

 

Le Gouf is ineligible

 

Elliot- Simmo-Taylor-Mbiwa-Haidara
Anita Cabaye
Obertan Marveuax
Sisoko
Ben ArFA

 

Elliot,

Simmo, Saylor, Mbiwa, Haidara

Anita, Cabaye, Tiote, Marveux

Sissoko

Ameobi

Not to fussed about the line up if we get the tactics right and Pard's pulls his head out of his ar*e and use's his subs properly, genuinley think we could get a big result here tonight.

 

Genuine question, why would you play Anita on RW?

 

can see playing anita RW and Santon LW - - that way everyone in midfield can put in a defensive shift. Try to keep a clean sheet and hope to nick something, maybe from HBA in the last 20 minutes

 

Think we need an away goal. Will be Obertan, Sissoko & Marv behind Stroller I think.



--------------------Elliot
Simmo----Saylor----MYM----Haidara/Santon
--------------Anita----Cabaye/Tiote
Obertan---------Sissoko----------Marveaux
--------------------Shola

 

pretty reasonable guess for the starting 11 methinks.

I'd play Tiote and Cabaye

 

Will be relying on you boys and girls to keep me up to date today as wont be near a screen this afternoon.

 

Ok ACS, you can trust us...




MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Elliot, Simpson, Yanga-Mbiwa, Perch, Haidara; Anita, Cabaye; Marveaux, Sissoko, Obertan; Ben Arfa. ben arfa upfront

 

wouldn't risk starting HBA after a long layoff, especially all on his own up front. Send Shola in to get a kicking and spring Benni on them when their legs start to go.

 

I want to see Anita get some game-time to be honest. He's a good player when used right, and had been in some decent form before we decided to buy the rest of France...

 

sorry, didn't realise this was actual, as opposed to another prediction.

well here's hoping

 

Anzhi Makhachkala (4-2-3-1): Vladimir Gabulov; Andrey Eschenko, Joao Carlos, Ewerton, Yuri Zhirkov; Jucilei da Silva, Lassana Diarra; Odil Ahmedov, Willian, Oleg Shatov; Samuel Eto'o (c)

Substitutes: Evgeniy Pomazan, Rasim Tagirbekov, Arseny Logashov, Ali Gadzhibekov, Carcela-Gonzalez, Fedor Smolov, Lacina Traore



Newcastle United (4-2-3-1): Rob Elliot; Danny Simpson, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, James Perch, Massadio Haidara; Yohan Cabaye (c), Vurnon Anita; Sylvain Marveaux, Moussa Sissoko, Gabriel Obertan; Hatem Ben Arfa

Substitutes: Jak Alnwick, Davide Santon, Steven Taylor, Gael Bigirimana, Cheick Tiote, Adam Campbell, Shola Ameobi

 

So James Perch up against Samuel Eto'o, a terrifying yet inspiring match up!
