I'll start with Crouch

[Cobs]

Because they lack the pace to play together and whenever Fowler and Crouch have played together they've never put in a decent performance.

they were fine against Bolton & WBA at the end of last season

Think Bellamy will be bursting a gut to play on Wednesday.

[dodgy1]

Reina

Finnan Carra Agger Warnock

Pennant Sissoko Gerrard Gonzalez

Bellamy Kuyt

 

Is the right answer

[Cobs]

agree

 

i'd start with him & Crouch up front

Agree. That's why i'd stick with him and kuyt.

 

Our former players always seem to score against us, so lets see if it works the other way too!

 

Keep the pair of them up front, and get Gerrard into the middle. That's what i'd do.

[Earl Hafler]

They've not been played enough as a partnership. Looks to me like they'd be perfect for each other.

 

Alan Hansen could then dust down his " pace and pooower " clichés.

[stressederic]

Didn't Robbie play predominantly upfront with either Morientes or Cisse at the back end of last season?

It would be a waste to play 3 centre halves at home to Newcastle. The key to beating them is to get as much pressure on the centre of their defence.

[Hightown Phil]

3 up front.

 

Blitz them.

[Hector McDougal]

Given being out is a huge bonus. He often saves them from getting thrashed.

[Dan]

Stick with Kuyt and Bellamy. The goals are bound to come sooner or later and they are still developing an understanding which has shown flashes of brilliance at times in the last few games.

[muleskinner]

Need a strong showing from Finnan on Wed night. Duff will be a big test for him at the moment. Hopefully Agger will get to continue his good form up against Martins and Ameobi.

[D.Boon]

Time to give Pennant a rest. Gerrard right, Gonzalez left.

[Guest TanMan]

Reina

Finnan Agger Carra Warnock

Gerrard Alonso Sissoko Aurelio

Crouch Bellamy

Pennant, Anderson, Garcia, Bellamy, Crouch, Kuyt, Gonzalez, Fowler, Whoeveriscurrentlyscoringinthereserves.

 

 

We haven't scored for three games and badly need a goal

[Guest Kev]

Kuyt will score on Wednesday.

[Guest FrankH]

Their sub keeper will probably put in the performance of his life.

Dude, that looks like a very potent 3-2-3-3 formation, but 12 men against 11 is a little unfair.
