Newcastle’s two new signings Jonas Gutierrez and Danny Guthrie will make their home debut for tonight’s visit of Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven.
And as expected Habib Beye, Newcastle’s player of the season in his first season on Tyneside, makes his first appearance of the pre-season, after recovering from an Achilles heel injury.
Nicky Butt returns to captain the side, in the absence of Michael Owen, who we hope will be available for Saturday’s game against Valencia.
Steven Taylor and Claudio Cacapa start in the center of defense with bey and Enrique the full backs.
Smith and N’Zogbia are rested and it looks a bit of an odd team, and we suppose that Duff and Milner will play up front.
It could be that boy Jonas Guttierrez could play in attack too.
TEAMS:
Newcastle United: Shay Given, Jose Enrique, Claudio Cacapa, Danny Guthrie, Damien Duff, James Milner, Jonas Gutierrez, Geremi, Nicky Butt (c), Steven Taylor, Habib Beye
Subs: Tim Krul, Frank Wiafe Danquah, Ben Tozer, David Edgar, Ryan Donaldson, Sebastien Bassong
PSV: Andreas Isaksson, Carlos Salcido, Francisco ‘Maza’ Rodriguez, Timmy Simmons (c), Danko Lazovic, Nordien Amrabat, Jeremie Brechet, Jason Culina, Reimond Manco, Ibrahim Afellay, Stijn Wuytens
Subs: Cassio Ramos, Mike Zonneveld, Danny Koevermans, Eric Addo, Balazs Dzsudzsak, Tommie van der Leegte, Mika Vayrynen, Rens Van Eijden

No Smith, must be off to Everton!!!
2 looney toon // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:22
i hope smith is off to everton - i believe we actually have a chance of scoring without him in the team!
3 Chris H // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:22
No forwards!
I wonder if there’s actually something in this Big Willie comments concerning Smith.
4 Rikki // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:22
Where is Andy Carroll ? Is he injured or what ?
Who will be playing as a striker tonight ?
5 Robert from Serbia // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:22
No N’Zogbia !!! Must be off to Arsenal
6 Paul // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:23
Whos up front ???
7 beessi-kosovo // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:24
plz can anybody tell me where can i see this match (on web) because i can notwatch on TV here in Kosovo
8 Patrick // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:25
Ed, this squad of NUFC does not make too much sense unless we are using Duff as the only striker!

10 A geordiedoonsooth // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:25
Not just no Smith but no N’Zogbia tonight is he off as well. If these 2 are going I hope we have at least 3 top players apart from Collocini lined up before next Saturday
11 Cooper // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:26
yea no smith i see? might actually have a sniff at goal tonight.
But i stil think we will get tortured off the dutch champions.
12 Patrick // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:26
Why am I posting the last message twice!?
I think it’s time to test the partnership of Donaldson and Zamblera (if he’s back).
13 Tom // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:27
Its a shame Bassong isn’t playing. Thats a weak centre back pairing. Hopefully the whole bench will get a runout!
14 Cooper // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:28
$hit $hit $hit - where the hell is zog - we cant afford to loose him aswell
15 Tom // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:32
Zog might just be rested.
16 fred // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:32
hey guys any possible way to watch the game? much much appreciated!
17 keeganjr // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:32

18 beessi-kosovo // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:34
plz can anybody tell me where can i see this match (on web)
19 Cooper // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:37
yea we need a stream - footy doctors not working
20 Matt Lacey // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:38
Duff played a forward role a few times at Blackburn so I expect he’ll be partnering Milner up front.
Not sure about the CB pairing but, we’ll see…
21 9 Shearer // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:38
Zogs was rested the last match not this too. I think he is injuried.

Apparently Coloccini is in the crowd 2nyt!
26 Tom_Toon // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:42
Probably:
Given
Beye-Cacapa-Taylor-Enrique
Geremi-Butt-Guthrie
Guti-Milner-Duff
Zog has a sloght knock i think, he didnt play v Mallorca because of it too.
27 nomis_jade // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:43
They said that this game is on nufc tv. im a member but i cnat seem to find it! neone help?
28 scottish mag // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:44
skysports saying gutierrez is starting upfront and david craig also said that smith could be off to everton
i think big willie might have been teeling the truth but he also said that colo would sign tonight, no mention or sightings yet mmmmm
29 Sun'lun's Burnin' // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:44
Not sure if it will be streamed anywher cos ther is no tv coverage at all.
Hope i can be proved wrong tho!! PLEASE SOMEONE!!
30 craig chisholm // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:45
this team looks stupid - not a single striker. bollocks resting zogs - why we resting him when the season has not even started?? load of crap. he is either off or he is injured or we have fell out with him and his dummy has flown out again. how the hell can we be going into a new season with no strikers available? where are the goals coming from?? this side is clearly a 4-5-1 too. where is zamblera???
31 LoonyToon // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:46
A bit off topic but I’ve just bought nufctv coz of the special offer (And so I can watch tonights match - sad eh) and I have to say it’s a lot better than I expected. The picture quality is excellent too. A lot better than the usual streaming I have to watch. I’m chuffed to bits.
I just thought you’d like to know what it’s like if anyone is thinking about getting it.
32 looney toon // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:47
i found the game on the nufc website - go to the http://www.nufc.co.uk then go to nufctv and look on the right - the link is dere

35 shirts // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:51
Duff has played up top for Ireland too, right?
I can’t see Gutierrez up front–my spanish friends tell me one of his key attributes is the unstoppable running all the time, so makes more sense in the midfield.

Taylor could always be used as a striker next season lol
49 looney toon // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:53
HAHAHA TAYLOR - probably could be a much better striker than smith

76 cockney magpie // Aug 6, 2008 at 19:59
all i can say is if Coloccini really is in the crowd then he must be dying to put pen to paper
77 Liffyourd // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:00
have i been toking too much?
78 Ex-pat MAG // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:00
I suppose the nay sayers will be back shortly telling everyone how they were just kidding about Taylor being rubbish.
Oh how sweet the taste of humble pie!!!
79 shirts // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:01
wow–Milner can pass? What the hell happened?
80 daiv // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:01
We don’t need any strikers or forwards. the goalkeeper will score next!!! MA should abandon any purchases because this team of no strikers will win the league this season.
81 cockney magpie // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:01
Nice to see Sir Bobby still out n about
82 yet_another_indian_toon // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:03
whats the formation like?
4-2-3-1?
83 GraemeR // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:03
its amazing - 15 mins played without Ameobi and Smith 2 goals scored agaisnt 270 mins for no goals with those 2 strikers in place
84 GraemeR // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:04
Steady DAiv - MA might hear u
We still need Moutinho and DErdiyok aas a minimum
85 reillers // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:04

90 daiv // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:07
We should be playing Smith as a striker because we have no strikers tonight.
91 Mad_Magpie // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:07
Promising start but we’re giving the ball away too cheaply, PSV are giving us a lesson in keeping possession. But so far so good!
92 reillers // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:08

96 DC Magpie // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:10
I’m sorry but Duff is just as useless as I remember.
He has no sense of playing for the team, he must think he’s better than his team mates.

98 DW // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:11
Sky Sports News have just reported that Steve McMacman (spelling all wrong)- one of the directors of the profitable group interested in a takeover is in the directors bbox at tonights game.
99 daiv // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:12
We don’t need any new players. We may have sold Emre and Rozenhal for £6M and spent £4 mil on two players (two mil to Mike!!!) but we don’t need any new players. The squad is big enough and there is enough class to get us into the Champions League. Genius Mike Ashley.

110 irish_toon9 // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:17
i think we’re playing better because the midfielders are actually able to play balls into the forwards who are actually moving into space..thats the difference compared to having tweedle dee and tweedle dumb up front
111 Hadji // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:17
Sell Ameobi,Smith,Viduka,Owen, and keep only Oba and Carroll
Next season we’ll play with only 1 forward like Roma
112 n'zog14 // Aug 6, 2008 at 20:18

147 Rubber Guard // Aug 6, 2008 at 22:35
So because Taylor plays well, scores and for once makes no costly errors he’s a world beater. Still think he’d be a better RB than a CB. Didnt get to the match but sounds like they played well. If Taylor plays like he did tonight perhaps fans wont get on his case so much, long may it continue !
