Birmingham vs Newcastle - Martins Viduka Start

Monday March 17th, 2008 by Ed Harrison· 179 Comments

Kevin Keegan has made several changes from the side that fell apart against Liverpool last Saturday.

Keegan gives starts to Martins and Viduka and finally Smith is benched.

But we look a bit weak on the wings and we have to assume Geremi and Martins will start there. Very surprising to us that Charles N’Zogbia is only a substitute and not starting on the left wing.

There is no Damien Duff included so we assume he’s injured, unless he’s been given a night off. It’s good to see big Andy Carroll on the bench.

We wanted Oba to start and Smith to be on the bench so we got our wish, but who’s going to provide the width and attacking flair down the wings?

It looks to us we’ll play 4-3-3 (?) with Michael Owen, Mark Viduka and Oba Martins up front with Nicky Butt, Joey Barton and Geremi in midfield.

But the bench is also strong and it looks like Keegan is going all out attack tonight. With only 3 goals in 8 games, that’s probably good.

TEAMS

Birmingham City: Maik Taylor, Liam Ridgewell, Stephen Kelly, Radhi Jaidi, David Murphy, Fabrice Muamba, Sebastian Larsson, Damien Johnson (c), Gary McSheffrey, Mikael Forssell, James McFadden
Subs: Colin Doyle, Stuart Parnaby, Mehdi Nafti, Mauro Zarate, Cameron Jerome

Newcastle United: Steve Harper, Habib Beye, Jose Enrique, Abdoulaye Faye, Steven Taylor, Nicky Butt, Geremi, Joey Barton, Oba Martins, Mark Viduka, Michael Owen (c)
Subs: Fraser Forster, Claudio Cacapa, Charles N’Zogbia, Alan Smith, Andy Carroll

This is the night of truth for Newcastle.

Howay The Lads!!!

owen martins AND viduka!

amazing!
3 eltrain // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:36

Woo!!!! Smith isnt playin! I’ve waited 4 this day for years!
4 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:36

gotta be a goal in there somewhere ?
there has tobe a time those lads look at the teamsheet and think wtf are this group of players doing at the bottom of the table !
5 Dave // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:39

At least with Gerimi on the right we can get a decent ball into the box guaranteed!!!! BArton will want to proove something aswell…… i’ve got a good feeling about this team… plenty of pace
6 Momo // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:39

CELEBRATIONS, BEERS ALL AROUND FROM MIKE ASHLEY LOL. Nah forget the beers, im just glad Smudge isnt playing. Looks like we’ve won the game already
7 CRAIGG // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:40

Oh its a 442

I assumed that it was a 433

Oh well, no Smith and a chance of a few goals with The players brought in i fancy us big time and i have wondered what oba would be like as an out and out wide man not in sams daft formation, Could be an inspired move like Nobby at right back last season.

Ahem wheres the apology from some of you about smiths starting place i said it was due to injuries.

Daiv come on you can finally stop your sarcastic crusade about smith he is history!!!
8 Tom_Toon // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:42

It is 4-3-3 to start.
9 CRAIGG // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:42

Momo even if we dont win tonight this sort of side will take plenty of points off sides like fulham, reading and the scum maybe west ham and spurs
10 hanzemre // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:42

now for a real go at the Brum…hope for a win no matter the score…might 3-2 yeah so be it.
11 Hilly // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:42

I’m excited at the possibilities! Now if we can work the ball up the pitch rather than hoofing and hoping we might have a chance!
12 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:43

sod the attacking flair down the wings ,
owen and martins upfront , viduka sitting behind them holding and pinging balls thru tight gaps .
13 steve // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:43

Looks as good a team as we can put out - come on the toon
14 CRAIGG // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:43

Tom_toon are you sure because i assumed that at first but EDs side has Oba wide left and Owen and Duke up front.
15 AlexW // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:43

duff int injured just dropped
16 Tom_Toon // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:45

no, five live said 4-3-3
17 Hilly // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:46

I would’ve kept Duff on the bench for Smith, but overall, pretty happy
18 Gloryhunter // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:46

Replace Owen with Carroll and I’m on cloud nine. Prove me wrong helicopter boy!
19 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:46

one sadistic thing im getting out of all this mess , is that each game is nailbiting stuff !!
you’d think we were gunning for the title with how important these last games have become its exciting , in a sick and twisted sort of way .
20 Davy C // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:48

I think he’ll play more of a 4/3/3 with Martins maybe helping out in midfield now and then. It may be a case of playing a long ball up to Viduka with Owen and Martins picking off him. Not a great way of thinking but we have a mix of battling players along with goalscorers. Hopefully we’ll get a win with this team but just as important - we don’t want to lose.

I’ve got no nails left already and the match hasn’t started yet!

“Exiting” Hadrian? Only the Brum supporters at half time
23 ObaFan2 // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:49

Thank you Lord, NO SMITH.

yahooooooooooooo

Come on the TOON……….
24 CRAIGG // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:50

Well thats fine by me if we play as well as these players can than Birmingham will be annihilated.

Reminds me of the days when Pedro played just off Alan and Les or Even when Tino played with Shearer or Ferdinand

proper KK teams.
25 t-g-w // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:50

What’s so surprising about Owen, Martins and Viduka all starting? Haven’t seen that for aaaages. Since the days of… Sam Allardyce!
26 Kevin // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:51

Hey all - I’m going to be stuck at work during the match - so keep the running commentary coming! I’m psyched that Smith’s starting on the bench - now let’s show that striking power!

Tonight’s going to be a tough night - Birm are on top of their games at the moment - I’m hoping for a 2-0 victory but in honesty I can see a 1-1 result.
27 daiv // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:52

Craigg
Def a bettter team without Smith and the forward line looks great. I am worried about the midfield because there is little creativity and pace there. I hope the forwards do not get isolateed due to lack of supply. Fingers crossed….def more hopeful.
28 ScottyT // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:52

this day will forever be known as alan smith day insted of st patricks day .. i sed that a while back if he got dropped lol
29 CRAIGG // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:53

TGW i cant remember Sam playing Oba, Owen and Viduka in the same team

When owen started he changed to 442

And when Oba started he played Viduka central Oba Right and Milner Left

33 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:57

34 Tom_Toon // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:57

geordie nick ‘ur’ wrong, its 4-3-3
35 Gloryhunter // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:57

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cox

Griff: It’s about a full second ahead of Setanta on Virgin FFS! Well done kidda
36 ObaFan2 // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:58

Team looks good imo, even with Oba left.

Just heard some Newcastle tickets were left for the first time this season!

Oba will hopefully float around causing trouble.
37 CRAIGG // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:58

Daiv i said on on a previous post that i would have started with this side in a 433

————Harper————
-Beye-Taylor-Faye-Enrique-
—–Barton—Butt—N’Zogbia—–
-Owen—–Viduka—–Martins-

Just swap Geremi for Zoggy, but Geremi a better dead ball taker and KK is probs trying to use Viduka, Faye, Taylor and Beyes quality in the air and the movement at set pices from Owen and Martins to hurt them.
38 dick // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:59

no midfield to talk about .looks like the big boot to viduka .hope it works
39 big pea ov the weab // Mar 17, 2008 at 19:59

52 Gloryhunter // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:14

It’s OK Tom Toon. Taylor’s only made two mistakes so far
53 GP // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:14

Taylor you muppet, 2 mistakes already.
54 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:15

Streaker !
55 geordie nick // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:18

so how come the team sheet says 442 tom, unless u know more about the formation than kk do u, if its a 3 pronged attack then how come viduka and owen are playing throuch centre, shouldnt one onf them be on the right
56 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:19

they have had 3 chances to our zero
57 Hilly // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:19

64 cloudstrife // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:26

looks like the only way we’ll score is from broken play and not anything construsted. shades of Sam Allardyce? these still are his players, eh…
65 geordie nick // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:26

yeah ‘ obefemi martins has pushed up, its now a 433′ which suggests it WASNT to start with was it, anyway i cudnt giv a toss as long as we win
66 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:27

defence aint doing bad , were just not getting decent service upto the top, altho barton is trying to push thru .
our full backs are looking for the long ball to much .
67 geordie nick // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:27

try payin £10 a month for setanta tom, loosen the purse strings

fkin hell i could handle that jock cock!
82 GP // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:39

Faye just got brushed off the ball. Once again the team selection has to be questioned however. Worst defence in the league except for derby…maybe if that fat arsehole ashley had spent some money we’d be better.
83 cooldj // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:39

will there be highlights on any channel?
84 Edd Case // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:39

We are so relegated this season…..
85 Momo // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:39

Can’t we just shoot, Brum are having all the shots
86 Edd Case // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:40

1 shot on target Brum have had, 1……

And, predictably, they score from that one shot…

We are fuc*ing awful
87 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:41

horror show, like watching kids play, horrible…….
88 YongMalaysia // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:41

wtf, stupid mistake ! wake up at 4am to see a lose game? SAD!!!

sera que agora vai ?
90 ende // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:43

“maybe if that fat arsehole ashley had spent some money we’d be better.”

Yeah, how dare Ashley save us from the wonderful Sheperd years. We don’t know how good we had it boy.
91 GP // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:44

At least he gave the managers money.
92 toonhitman // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:44

were in the soup people
93 ehssi // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:45

I just belive they would win this game, we need some martins show=).
94 cooldj // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:46

we’re one nil down which is bad. but the worst thing is Birmingham deserve it.
95 Tom_Toon // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:49

Get N’Zogbia and Carroll on ASAP.
96 Optimist // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:50

One team on the field,but its definitely not the ones in black&white shirts.
97 ende // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:50

GP, ashley has hardly been tight with the purse. And anyway, the problems with this team are several seasons deep.. hardly the fault the latest ownership.
98 GP // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:52

In the transfer market, yes he is. A net spend of £10m? That’s nothing in todays market.
99 Gloryhunter // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:52

If two people get a return train ticket to Carlisle, the second one goes half price. It’s called a ‘Duo’. Gretna is just up the road but they couldn’t sell all their tickets.
100 Ashton // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:52

Butt is a wanker
101 Eamonn // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:53

If we don’t get 3 points from Fulham on Saturday, I think we’ll be going down Unbelievable, what a nightmare season.
102 ScottyT // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:53

pointless balls upfield its fkin embarassing .. what a load of fkin rubbish man!
103 geordie nick // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:53

nzogbia on for geremi now please!!!!
104 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:54

so it has come to this? Newcastle United in the Coca-Cola Championship…….. i like the sound of that, don’t you boys??
105 OzZyMagpiE // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:54

guyz b’ham have way more passion than us.. this iz a horror show. this team talk by keegan is the season right here. we score we’re in it n they score our guyz wud juz give in… im trembling here =/
106 AlexW // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:54

ashton - y is butt a wanker? hes the only one playing ne decent, geremi off n’zogbia on, viduka off smith on, martins and owen up front, smith just behind em
107 Foxy // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:55

Well I dun think anyone is supprised by the extreame bad play by newcastle, are they?

I think we played well in the last 3 mins of the game hopefully they will cum back out and play like they did in the last 3 mins! But I dout it

Butt is useless he is like a 12th player for Birmingham
108 ObaFan2 // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:55

What a disappointment so far to say the least.
109 kelvin // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:55

to be fair to butt, he’s been playing decently today. we are kicking too many long balls aimlessly.
110 brad // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:55

only 1-0 down lads it aint over yet lets just not panic were ok as long as we dnt go 2-0 down
111 OzZyMagpiE // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:56

not for geremi

zoggy for barton..

bartonz passing iz horrifying
112 ScottyT // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:56

unbelievable we have created fk all against a side with 3 clean sheets all season. geremi barton nd butt passing has been awful.. jose has been dreadful at lb with his kicks upfield to noone martins playin on the left of midfield wtf man?!?!
113 geordie nick // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:56

how has mike ashley been tight? keegan has already said tht ashley has given him money 2 spend but we cudnt find any decent players willing to come to us in january. and lets face it big sam doesnt know how to spend big money he was never going to buy big players
114 GP // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:56

Smith on? Are you high? If you are I can’t say I blame you, who would want to watch Newcastle sober.
115 toonhitman // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:57

this sums it up in a nut shell alex mcleish on the touch line screaming out orders keegan standing with his hands in his pockets looking lost,sort it out keegan or get back to your soccer circus coz this shite is no good for the heart
116 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:57

actually Butt is the only decent guy in midfield today. I hate the guys but i have to give him that. Barton and Geremi on the other hand are horrific.
117 neozero // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:58

we need to get nzogbia into the team. we have no width at all. martin is the only one creating something. we need to get owen out. offering nothing at all.
118 ScottyT // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:58

why does barton keep getting played he is f***** useless man 5.8m omg
119 Matt Lacey // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:58

Why is Zog on the bench… once again, not enough quality in the midfield I think is the problem, Barton and Butt giving the ball away a bit easily I think.

Come on, tighten the defence and score goals - we need at least a point out of this!
120 Foxy // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:58

Watch us go 2-0 down by the 50th minute its just something newcastle would do! hope not tho 2-1 Newcastle by end of the game hopefully
121 Davy C // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:58

Well, I worried that the 4/3/3 wouldn’t work and unfortunately I was right. I’d take Viduka off and put smith on - he’ll hold it up better and is more mobile. Zog has to come on for either Geremi or Barton who have been a waste of space as expected. Barton losing the ball stupidly again led to their goal.

They’re scrapping more than us and we are doomed if this continues.
122 toonjon // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:59

at least we might win a trophy if we go dwn.

god i hope we dont go down. would rather have my balls chopped off
123 geordie nick // Mar 17, 2008 at 20:59

ozzy at least barton has had the ball to make terrible passes all geremi has done is give a few free kicks away and get booked, butt has probly been our best player 2nite so far, we need martins up top playin through the centre
124 toon1978 // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:00

Newcastle are a disgrace,cant pass,cant score overall cant play football we re an embarassment we dont deserve to be in the PL crap is an understatement. BARTON is a disgrce how he got to be a Pro footballer is beyond me. OWEN on a hundred and seven grand a week what a laugh i wouldn’t pay him 50 pence, GEREMI is finished ROBSON said his legs were gone 3 years ago, FAYE is not a good player at all and ENRIQUE gives the ball away more times then i have ever seen from any other player. OVERALL NUFC are a very very poor team and to me not one player on that pitch tonight cares about the toon, im sorry to say this but we deserve relegation and relegation is PROBABLY what is going to happen. Birmingham have players are mediocre but we cant even compete against them.RUBBISH beyond belief i have seen better from the under 10s on a Sunday.
125 Eamonn // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:01

There’s been four relegations in our 115year history, mid 30’s, 60/61, 77/78 & 88/89. I thought all that was behind us , but we’re so close right now. I hope for our sake that KK hasn’t lost it. I don’t blame Ashley as Sam wasn’t his man. I guess Ashley must be sweating now, he’s gonna take some heat if we go down.
126 Foxy // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:01

I think if we dun get a result this game then its almost def that we will drop
127 ehssi // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:02

Newcastle have played well the last two minutes…send Dennis wise down to the looker room, so he could talk to them and scare them!
128 geordie nick // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:02

evryones been gettin at smith wantin him dropped for weeks and as soon as it happens ppl are comin on here sayin bring him on, dont make sense to me, wats smith gonna bring to the team, creativity? no, pace? no, goals? no so why bring him on, the only person on bench tht can change the game is charlie, get him on now
129 Kevin Lawson // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:03

When has owen ever played on the wings grr its so annoying.

Faye’s error was f*cking awful

If we carry on playing like this we deserve to go down.

My only hope is that we win our home games against the mackems, reading and fulham.

I really can’t believe we play football this crap and tbh its been getting worse each season since Bob left.

KK will get em sorted but i don’t know whether it’ll be in time to save us
130 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:07

incredible, i’m watching the game with foreign commentary and the dude just said ” so let’s recap the first half of Birmingham - Newcastl..haahha..haha.”

i’m goint to vomit now….
131 Davy C // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:08

Geordie Nick - smith has had a lot of stick and yes I agree with you but he does hold the ball up well and is more mobile than Viduka which is what we need if Owen and Martins are to get brought into the game cos they’re getting muscled out. If Zog comes on as well he’ll be able to pick up ball from Smith or Viduka on his game - unfortunately he had a poor first half. Fingers crossed for the 2nd half - I feel sick!

136 YongMalaysia // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:14

i stil beleive we wil get a win today, fight it man…

but i didnt see any space from midfield into penalty area, they don know how to run or take place… no tactic!
137 GP // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:15

Barton - Stop doing stupid little tricks, you’ve got no flair and this is no time for that anyway.
138 ende // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:16

if only joey could pass as well as he puts out eyes
139 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:18

MORE! MORE! MORE!
146 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:21

there fighting this half ! .
typical owen/liniker goal , pace or no pace he somehow always ends up on the end of them .
147 ende // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:22

Is it me or is Butt playing fairly well? What the hell’s wrong with him?
148 Eamonn // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:22

Owen just paid back his transfer fee with that one! Barton & Butt are fighting for it now. Great to see KK celebrating again.
149 toon1978 // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:25

Newcastle really need to sort the passing out it is really poor
150 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:26

bloody hell, i know i drank a few pint’s tonoght, but still.

DID I JUST SEE A FEW MINUTES OF GOOD FOOTY FROM US ??!!
151 toon1978 // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:27

were giving free kick away in daft areas which could cost us.
152 toon1978 // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:29

156 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:32

Mickey gettin hot…….
157 ende // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:34

Maybe Barton should be playing at DM.

Milner - Emre(am) - Barton (dm) - Zog

Might help our midfield woes?
158 Eamonn // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:34

Did I just see Viduka sprinting!!!!! Love to have been a fly on the wall at half time. KK must have unleashed Arthur Cox on em!!!!
159 toon1978 // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:36

GEREBRIN ON ZOGGY FOR GEREMI
160 OzZyMagpiE // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:36

the thing abt geremi even tho his set pieces r shit iz dat he is existant on da field(playing wise) unlike smith….
161 Edd Case // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:39

According to Yahoo stats, we’ve had 60% possession, 17 shots, 5 on target???

That cannot be right!!!

We should be winning by a mile!!
162 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:39

Leave Geremi on, Zoggy for Barton..
163 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:40

these corners are meant for near post headers for owen , zoggy played the same shit corners last game . if they come off there great , if they dont they look weak as hell.
164 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:41

and my god i love harper in goal compared to shay , cbh with any shay fan’s im sorry , there’s no argument there to be had anymore .
165 OzZyMagpiE // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:43

i heard zoggy comin on for martinz…… wtf datz juz stupid datz typical SA style.. take off our best playa
166 ende // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:43

hadrian: of course there’s an argument.. the thing is, either way you look at that argument, we’ve got two class keepers. What a luxury.
167 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:43

martins off
gutta for him . that strop was ott , keegans not impressed
168 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:43

KK you daft c*nt, Oba off ??!! stupid stupid……
169 ende // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:47

I guess he might be thinking it a bit more conservative, going back to a 442. Thing is, I’d join zog with bringing Carroll in for Dukes if that’s the case.
170 ende // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:48

dang, lost the stream
171 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:48

come on lads!!!
172 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:51

we could get a goal here , but a draw would be areet for me .
173 ToonKing // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:57

damn, we got a little air, but it still isn’t the best of result’s.

I’m getting more and more disillusioned in KK….:(
174 Hadrian // Mar 17, 2008 at 21:58

pretty confident we can pick a win up v fulham after watching that .
175 toon1978 // Mar 17, 2008 at 22:00

Sorry but that still aint good enough its still utter rubbish, cant win, wont win, cant score many goals let a shed loads in 5 years ago we were pushingthese sides to one side now we struggle WHEN ARE WE GONNA WIN FOR GOD SAKE. We should of bought in January but wi didnt fat Ash we to bloody greedy. we need a miracle.
176 geordie nick // Mar 17, 2008 at 22:01

better second half but still no where near good enough, i think kk could hav cost us 2 points ther by takin off oba, if he had taken off geremi or barton and left oba on we wud hav won in my opinion, oba is right to be pissed off aswell!!!!
177 toon1978 // Mar 17, 2008 at 22:07

McFadden is a quality little player wouldnt mind him at the toon deserved his MOTM IMO
178 toon1978 // Mar 17, 2008 at 22:14

Toon king Keegan can only manage a team he inherited and some of the players will be away in the summer and he will hopefully bring some quality in if we are still in the PL.
