Arsenal vs Newcastle TEAMS

Arsenal vs Newcastle TEAMS - Ameobi Starts

Tuesday September 25th, 2007 by Ed Harrison· 64 Comments

The Newcastle manager caused a surprise by playing Shola Ameobi up front with Martins and Milner in a 4-3-3 formation. As expected Faye started in midfield for the first time for Newcastle United.

Teams:

Arsenal: Fabianski, Eboue, Hoyte, Senderos, Traore, Denilson, Diarra, Song, Bendtner, Eduardo, Walcott

Subs: Mannone, Gavin Hoyte, Perez, Diaby, Lansbury

Newcastle United: Given, Beye, Taylor, Rozehnal, Enrique, Milner, Faye, Ameobi, N’Zogbia, Martins, Smith

Subs: Forster, Edgar, Butt, Emre, Geremi

After 10 minutes Newcastle had a wonderful chance to go ahead as Enrique sent in a powerful cross and Martins eluded Senderos rather easily to put in a powerful header that forced Fabrienski made a wonderful save.

Then after 16 minutes Arsenal had an even better chance when Bendtner sent in a powerful header which flashed over the crossbar when he really should have scored.

Half time report coming up.

Looking at that team does that mean we’re playing a 4-3-3 with Martins on the left of a three pronged attack?
2 Ashton // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:12

so who is our captain ?
3 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:12

No, i think were playing 4-4-2 :

Given
Beye Taylor Rozy Enrique

Milner Faye Smith Zog

Ameobi Martins

and by the sound of it were in trouble………….:(
6 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:14

@Ashton : I guess Smith.
7 Dz Adams // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:18

I’d have thought Smith instead of Ameobi and Butt or Geremi in midfield,unless he’s been doing well in training he was really shite against Derby last week.
8 ToonJon // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:18

Yea smith is captain and live commentary is on bbc five live
9 Dz Adams // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:18

Radio Newcastle live as well.
10 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:19

Martins had a couple of chances but thats it, Gooners had 1 i think.
11 Kevin // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:19

anyone watching it who can give us some play by play?
12 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:21

Nobody is watching it - ’cause the game isn’t shown anywhere and i mean NOWHERE. nutters
13 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:21

just radio mate.
14 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:25

Sounds like Given is playing really well.
15 Canny game // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:26

Its on the little telly at the bar in the south west stand.
16 Kevin // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:28

Rubbish. What an intriguing match not to televise.
I’m working currently so I can’t get either…

Back to the football - I’m hoping Oba demonstrates why he should be starting EVERY match.
17 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:28

yep he is, and that’s good and bad at once…….
18 Dz Adams // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:29

Has anyone heard Sholas name mentioned?
19 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:31

yes, once, direct quote : “he has not won one yet” -commentator talking about Shola and long balls. pffffff
20 The Big P // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:32

Also available on radio from Newcastle United Home. You need to set up an account.
Why not on telly??????
Only the league cup!!!
21 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:32

by the sound of it Gooners are the better team, they had quite a few chances lately.
22 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:32

No, Shola isn’t mentioned in the match report on nufc.co.uk either. Guess he hasn’t really gotten into the game.
23 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:34

we should move to 4-4-2 in the 2nd half - players dont seem to perform at 4-3-3
24 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:34

@Soren: Nice way of putting it mate , i’d say he’s being shite again, hope Sam takes him off now at HT.
25 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:35

its on bbc five live as well
26 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:36

agree - get shola off, bring emre on and move smith up front with martins
27 Ashton // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:37

we need emre
28 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:42

ToonKing - hehe.. just thought it was a nice way of saying he isn’t playing well Hope he either gets taken off or get crackin with the goals or something.
29 Dz Adams // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:50

Barton and Emre kicking a ball about at half time,that sounds promising.
30 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:58

Given’s pulling off some life-savers for us…..
31 Dz Adams // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:58

Sounds like we’re getting hammered here.
32 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:59

we’re getting hammered - sounds all arsenal
33 Dz Adams // Sep 25, 2007 at 20:59

Does this mean Given has played his way back into the team.
34 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:00

someone should start marking that Eboue
35 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:00

Doesn’t sound great for us. Arsenal are keeping the pressure on us. Zogs saved a ball off the line!
36 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:01

shite it’s all gooners at the moment, martins needs to pull something out of the bag.

Given and Taylor are saviors at the moment, also Enrique just cleared one off the line…….
37 Dz Adams // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:03

Get Ameobi off Butt or Emre on and make a game of it,if we don’t score Sholas gonna get the blame
38 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:03

cmon Emre
39 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:05

Have we even got a shot on target? Doesn’t look like we get much offensive.. Emre on for Ameobi
40 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:07

we had a few, mostly Martins
41 ToonKing // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:10

Eboue off , whooo thats good
42 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:13

hopefully the arsenal kids will start to tire before they score and we can get back in the game
43 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:14

wahey a shot from the toon
44 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:15

yay, it was Emre. Good to see him back playing.
45 Howay50 // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:18

C’mon Toon

Milner off, Butt on - maybe Smith will join Martins up front

Looking on the brightside, Toon are defending well - couldn’t have said that last season.
46 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:18

Sounds like the Arsenal pressure has lifted a bit. Hopefully we can get a lucky break and the goal.
47 Howay50 // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:21

Denied a Penalty!
48 ToonJon // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:23

im gunna have a heart attack listening to this commentary.
49 Dz Adams // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:23

How long’s left
50 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:24

ToonJon - yes, its not for the faint-hearted!
51 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:25

Dz Adams - think there’s about 10mins left.
52 Soren // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:28

Arsenal 1 - Newcastle 0.
Bendtner scores
53 steve // Sep 25, 2007 at 21:29
