KEVIN Keegan makes three changes from the side which beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0 at St.James’ Park on Saturday.
Jose Enrique and Sebastien Bassong both make their season debuts, with Seb making his official debut tonight, and Geremi as expected remains in the team as a starter.
Making way from Saturday are center-back Steven Taylor, who is on the subs bench, and injured strikers Oba Martins (groin) and Damien Duff (knee) are missing, again as expected.
But rather surprisingly perrenial Given under-study and local lad, Steven Harper, is not given a run out in goal.
Charles N’Zogbia moves into midfield with Jonas Gutierrez likely to partner James Milner in the attack.
Michael Owen, the match-winner against Bolton, is surprisingly named among the substitutes as he continues his return to full fitness following a niggling calf problem.
Teenage forwards Ryan Donaldson and Nile Ranger, who signed from Southampton this summer, are also included among the Newcastle subs.
Alan Smith is not names even on the subs bench, so we’re not too sure if he’s injured or on his way out of the club and will not be risked.
We’ll have a profile on Nile Ranger tomorrow, now that the club has formally said they have in fact signed the youngster.

Just shows the strength of depth and perhaps it is KK way of showing this b4 the MA meeting tomorrow.
Cov wont be a pushover - especially at home- but I di think we will proceed into the next round.
2 stinkman // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:16
interesting starting 11. 6 midfielders and 4 defenders…surprised harper didnt get a start.
3 AlexW // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:20
we arnt even starting a striker what is all that about, why would KK demand alan smith is kept then not even place him on the bench in a game where we dont have a starting striker
4 robertsa // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:20
my bet is that at half time it will be 3-0
at full time 5-1.
5 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:20
Only 6 subs, no midfielders? Kazenga Lua Lua injured? Maybe some other youngster should have been given a place on the bench to let them experience travelling to a competitive game with the first team?
6 robertsa // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:21
what is the formation ed??
7 LarrikinDan (DannyG) // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:21
Looking forward to seeing Bassong again…He was awesome against Mallorca!
8 Stephen // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:22
Bassong first goal u watch
9 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:24
smith is injured, kk said after the bolton game
10 The Entertainers // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:25
Aaaaaaahhhhhh…….
We need a striker!
Hopefully Kev will give some insight on Smiths absence.
11 Chris H // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:26
We played well against Valencia without a striker up front.
Keegan will probably play 433 with Zog, Milner and Jonas upfront.
3-1 to the Toon. Howay the lads!
12 Toon in HK // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:26
Any chance to watch the match through Internet?
13 AlexW // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:27
isnt tonights game on tv? what channel
14 GM // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:28
I Think Jonas will do a job up there, I said on a previous post that he should have played there on saturday behind oba and owen when he came on, he is much more of a threat than duff with his running on & off the ball as well as his pace, maybe he is the AMC we need (if MA doesnt plan on buying anyone else )and keep Zog on the left?
15 Davy C // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:28
The size of our squad is a real worry. If we get anymore injuries we’ll be in trouble.
16 Ant // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:28
Zog up front for my money.
Maybe alone in some sort of 6 man diamond with Jonas and Guttierrez on the wings, Butt at DM and Guthrie and Geremi in CM.
Colo and Bassong is the partnership I’ve been waiting for.
If the lads playing are on their game I can see a right hammering of them.
Looking forward to it…Haway the lads.

i hope enrique shows KK why he should play LB ahead of Zoggy
31 valle // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:43
Didnt even know we bought Nile Ranger… Is he any good?
32 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:47
Imagine being Nile ranger, one minute your in youth offenders, next minute your on the bench with Michael Owen, lol. crazy
33 Allman20 // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:48
Nile Ranger is pretty alright, good we snapped and werent forced to pay a stupid fee for him next season like mr walcott… Tonight in predicting we score 2 and win, not sure how the defence will play, but with shay in goal i cant see too many going in
Come on the toon!
34 sirjasontoon // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:54
Line up is a joke no strikers again.
Let’s hope Harper comes up for a corner : )
35 valle // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:56
High balls is the only way we know how to attack suddenly???
36 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:56
sirjasontoon - it makes for a more interesting meeting with MA this week “as reported”
No available strikers
37 richie // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:57
spyro ,,on nile ranger wats he like position etc? prmoising youngster ye?saw his myspace ..propa gangster lol
38 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:58
No defined striker and the likes of Zog are afraid to cross the ball, 3 x wasted attempts there
39 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:59
Yet again, Newcastle fail to clear the first man from a corner!!!
40 dubsea // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:59
no cutting edge yet…
geremi looks up for it though
41 sirjasontoon // Aug 26, 2008 at 19:59
Totally agree steve48
we need a proper spend pronto
42 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:00
i just know he is fast and a good finisher
43 mitch // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:00

45 Teddy // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:00
geremi is a waste of space id prefer to see my nan in a black n white shirt.
46 LarrikinDan (DannyG) // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:04
Bassong looks dead assured on the ball…Im really impressed with him…You would think he was 30 not 22!
We need another striker…
47 Toonboy // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:04
Our back 4 look very solid tonight,its just the other end im worried about
48 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:04
We don’t look too bad, but we need a proper striker on the pitch, be it ranger, donaldson or owen, someone who is going to play off the shoulder of the defenders, Milner and Jonas are both dropping deep, we need someone in the box!
49 Toon1978 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:04
Butt and Geremi giving the ball away needlessly.
50 mitch // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:04

51 richie // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:05
bassong looks a player

Coleman looks like Gary Numan, in fact he probably is producing a new album soon.
53 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:07
Bassong looks tidy! Enrique having a solid enough game so far : )
54 LarrikinDan (DannyG) // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:08
I agree Tom…We need a striker on the pitch!

Wow… Zog looks estatic with his goal… He looks like a player with his heart at NUFC for sure!!!
65 51times // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:11
Terry - To say the least, he didn’t seem bothered he had scored.
66 BennAllen // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:12
Enrique is looking awesome, geremi is sh*te, guthrie and butt looking awesome.. team playing well atm. defense are superb
67 dubsea // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:13
colo is getting forward alot. the new albert?
68 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:13
Zog didn’t celebrate because it came off the defender!
Geremi hasn’t been that bad, Butt has given away at least as many passes!! Lol.
69 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:13
looks to me like taylor might be bench warming for a while
70 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:15
Geremi is playing poor, he is ruining everything we are doing
71 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:15
I take it back, how did Geremi not slot that ball through to Beye!?
72 Toonboy // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:15
ha ha,makes me laugh the way there booing spidey,yet they elbow him in the face
73 LarrikinDan (DannyG) // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:15

78 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:18
I feel guilty for supporting Geremi now!
79 valle // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:19
Tom… Thats a thin argument “Zog didn’t celebrate because it came off the defender!”… He looked like he couldnt care less after we just went 0-1 up, it dosnt matter how it went in.
80 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:19
maybe its because he is an argy?
81 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:19

86 valle // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:21
Geremi might be poor in allot of areas, but sadly he is our best crosser of the ball… Jonas seems quite good at it as well, but Duff and Milner cant cross at all.
87 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:21
I am very impressed by the defence atm!

105 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:27
Hmm, I criticised Milner up front and he gets a goal! Hmmmm, lets see…
Coloccinis goals per game ratio for Newcastle is terrible!

113 Kevin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:29
With this much time on the ball, we’re looking VERY solid today. But lads, I remember countless games where we would stoop down to lower competitions’ class. This domination is the way it should be. A Keegan Wonderland, indeed!

you is sooo right kevin
117 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:31
Yeah but Smith isn’t playing, so I can’t jokingly criticise the amount of goals he has scored for newcastle in the hope it will jinx him into scoring! Lol.

lapse a daisy we need to kill this game off now well done up to now though lads
133 Kevin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:35
A nice goal. It’s clear we went to sleep a bit. Same ol’ Newcastle.
134 Toon1978 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:36
Coventry will come out all guns blazing after that. Really bad time to give that goal away. We were getting to cocky.
135 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:36
We looked good VFM until their goal which was well taken
136 Ant // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:37
Ahhhh, I’m happy.
Coventry have nowt, and Charlie has been tearing them apart.
Owen for Geremi 45-60 mins and we should see a nice 3 goal plus victory.
137 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:37
was just poor from Beye, who has been poor since the beginning of the season in all honesty, he missed out on a lot of pre season and it shows
138 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:39
Zoggy has been our hardest worker so far, he has been everywhere
139 AlexW // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:39
there is only one player who hasnt played well this game so far, and thats geremi, losing the ball too many times, great passing play but lets go into the second half with the same enthusiasm and get a few more goals and bring some high confidence for the trip to arsenal, milner has been immense, so have the back four (apart from the goal) also jonas has been dangerous, bring geremi off bring on owen/donaldson
140 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:39
I don’t think it becomes all doom and gloom again! Beye was unlucky stretching for that long ball, and Coventry got a lucky deflection which brought it back to Morrison. It was a cracking strike from him mind!
141 Michael // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:40
I was about to say it’s the first time in a while I’ve enjoyed watching us play and felt relaxed. Then a very rare mistake from Beye and a superb finish means we could be in for a nervy second half.
142 The Entertainers // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:40
That was a very good half (there goal aside)
Much better than i thought, expected more of Cov!
Bassong was unfortunate for there goal and other than that he has looked in easy street.
Really impressed with our 6-man midfield and the energy they are putting in.
Milner and Zog look like they could get a few more goals and Jonas seeps quality evrytime he gets the ball.
Ho’way the lads, keep it up and lets hope for a few more goals from the lads in ‘purple’!
143 magsie // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:40
Does anyone else get the feelin we actualy might get nee body else? or poss just 1.
Hope 2 f**k i`m wrong!!
144 MAG PIE // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:40
Enrique has to start at Arsenal - he has been very good. He’s made his point to KK. If he had more experience then I think Bassong would start also. He’s a really good prospect. Our signings have been excellent. More of the same please.
145 TB // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:41
Milner, Colo, Spidey, and the Bull have been top notch.
Geremi…. not so much.
Beye was a little sloppy on Coventry’s goal, but it was a bit unlucky how the ball dropped to morrisons feet.
146 Kevin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:42
You’re right Tom, we’re still well and truly in control of this game and the lads are showing they’re a class apart from Coventry.
147 Michael // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:43
The Entertainers
It was Beye who made the mistake for the goal not Bassong. Bassong has been pretty much flawless.
148 Toon1978 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:43
Looking at that replay that should of been a bloody penalty, how the ref did not pick that up is beyond me. disbelief!!!!
149 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:43
Anyone seen Ed Speed in the away section yet
150 Martin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:43
Let’s be honest, last season we NEVER passed the ball as well as that…We constantly look dangerous and we have no strikers on the pitch - plus, whenever we lose the ball!
Their goal was an imense finish, with poor defending and a little bit of look that the ball landed to Morisson…But this the 1st time these 4 have played together aswell!
I’m happy, and i’ll stay happy as long as we play the 2nd half as well as the 1st!
151 MAG PIE // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:44
Team for Arsenal ?
……………………Given…………………..
Beye..Coloccini…..Taylor…Enrique
Jonas…Butt……….Guthrie…Nzogbia
………………….Milner…………………..
………………….Owen……………………
152 Toon1978 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:44
Bassong and Coloccini have been solid.
153 Hadrian // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:45
good game ehh !!
lads are on fire at times tonight and the football is glorious to watch compared to the dross we were watching this time last season .
milner and zoggy are plaing blinders , aswerll as the other young lads .
id defo let zoggy and jonas have the wings and enrique to start aswell in our next prem matches , play milner just behind mickey owen.
154 Oba // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:46
Bassong is too slow, and reminds me of Bramble at times with his reactions. Other than that he’s been alright.
Milner and Zoggy by far our best players, running around everywhere and made the two goals happen.
Butt and Guthrie is an amazing midfield pair, but I wonder how many matches Butty can handle. That would be the area I’d improve as well as LB.
As for Gutierrez, he tries to do too much sometimes. Still such a hard worker though, just what we need.
155 Oba // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:46
Liking the look of that team MAG PIE.
156 Martin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:47
…whenever we lose the ball we work hard to get it back almost imediately…
couldn’t be bothered to write the whole thing out again!
157 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:47
Geremi has been poor today, he is just slowing evey play down to a grinding halt and is not tracking back fast enough.
158 NotAGhostToon // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:47

well lets see how we do second half
161 Mikee // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:48
Is it just me or does colocini’s placement/following wrong player cause a lot of the chances against us?
162 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:48
Oba what are you on about, Bassong is NOT slow, what game have you been watching. He is quick
163 Kevin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:48
I’m on board Magpie. Somebody email that to KK.
164 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:48
myrtle ?
165 Chris H // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:48
Got to say, Enrique is solid tonight. Hope he keeps it up second half to warrant a start at Arsenal.
166 valle // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:49
True, Enrique has impressed me, but he needs to be consistant and perform like this against the best… But yah… Give him the chance against Arsenal… When Owen, Oba and Dukes get back we are scary… Still need a few more to hit the top 5-6 but we can get 7-8 with the guys we got if we are lucky with injuries i reckon.
167 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:49
haha, bolton losing at home, they are a joke
168 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:49
bassong for taylor mag pie
169 Toon1978 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:49
Spyro
I was thinking the same thing mate Bassong is not slow.
170 Martin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:49
Bolton 2:0 down - anyone know if they fielded a weak side?
171 flounder // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:50
lurple??
172 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:50
Sorry Oba, but no way Bassong is slow!!
173 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:51
taylor gives awy too many pens………….. at least he has stopped going down like hes been shot from row z
174 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:52
Quality ball from Guthrie, not offside either
175 Toon // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:52
Any links to the game?
176 Martin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:52
what a ball that was from guthrie - pffft, I’m nursing a semi after watching the replay of that!
177 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:52
How many incorrect offside decisions are they going to give against Geremi!?
178 Toon1978 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:53
Linesman is a complete jockey.
179 Toonboy // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:53
What a shot !!!!!!!
180 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:53
Enrique to start against Arsenal!
181 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:54
Enrique is defintely looking good
182 hammy // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:54

185 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:55
Martin - you need to got and sort yourself out and come back in 2 minutes
186 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:56
have too agree with enrique comments
187 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:57
10 seconds
188 Martin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:57
Bit of cold water and I’m back in the game Steve…That sort of vision can’t be taught though - Guthrie is deffinately a top talent and a quality signing!
189 Martin // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:58
Sean - I thought you’d jinxed Enrique they - good sensible covering by Bassong to get him off the hook!
190 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:58
somebody needs to chin morrison…..come on butty
191 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:59

192 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 20:59

193 sean667 // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:00

194 Steve_48 // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:02
Come on Kev, MO on please
195 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:04
Owen will be on by 70, for Geremi hopefully!! Jonas to right wing, milner behind owen!
196 Jay K // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:04
think the lads need 2 put a foot on the ball get a hold of the game again
197 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:06
Milner had no right to get through that gap!!
198 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:08
Coloccini has been class, long range passing has been superb on at least 3 occassions
199 TB // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:11
in my opinion everyone is playing good except for Geremi and Guthrie.
Geremi is having a shocker.
Guthrie hasn’t been terrible, but definitely some poor decisions.
200 ADtoonAM // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:13
gutti had me worried there for a sec thought it was an injury!!!
201 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:14
Bring Geremi off, for gods sake.
202 Jay K // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:14
Colo closes the ball down very fast
203 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:16
Excellent tracking back from Jonas!
204 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:18
GET GEREMI OFF! HE HAS BEEN AWFUL!
Guthrie hasnt been good second half
205 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:19
About time!!!!
206 Jay K // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:19
BUTT AND GEREMI off OWEN AND NEW KID ON
207 ADtoonAM // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:19

208 Toon1978 // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:20
Giving the ball away to much now.
209 Tom // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:20
Don’t sell Milner.
210 Toon1978 // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:22
Buffering like mad now WELL annoying!!!
211 ADtoonAM // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:33

212 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:36
i must say, gutierrez has not been that great going forward today, he looks tired and has done since the beginning of the second half
213 Jay K // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:37
nooooooooooooo
214 dubsea // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:38

218 Spyro // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:40
serves us right, we were unbelievably lazy in the last 15minutes
219 beyethegreat // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:41
omly the toon can throw away a 2 goal lead against lowar league opposition
220 Jay K // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:41
At least an extra 30mins we dont need
221 TOON! // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:47

:@
222 Jay K // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:50

224 ADtoonAM // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:51

225 Jay K // Aug 26, 2008 at 21:54

227 dubsea // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:00
this game is a classic…the comedy defending came back
228 ALEX, the Israeli toon // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:02
No we all understand why Enrique should not play, too many mistakes. He is okay coming forward but awful defending, weakest link…
And Geremi out some midfield spark in!
229 valle // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:04
Just as you think Newcastle will finally have a solid defense…
230 Jay K // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:05
To be fair a dont think any1 has had a good game think they aint took this game as serious as they should of
231 beyethegreat // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:10
unfortunately dubsea you may be right but there is a whole season left to judge that
232 Flan // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:18
phew
233 flounder // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:20
Jeepers! That was uncomfortable! Does anyone know when the draw is for the next round?
234 dubsea // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:24
beyethegreat…I hope im not but its gonna be an exciting season if I am.
235 UNITED GLENN // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:34
I have said it before and will say it again…Given and Harper should be rotated….AND MIKE ASHLEY NEEDS TO BACK KING KEV WITH THE MILLIONS HE SAID HE WOULD POUR INTO THE CLUB WHEN HE TOOK CHARGE OF THE GREAT SLEEPING GIANT!!!!! BUY BUY BUY!!!! Look not a striker in the starting 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLOODY HELL MAN!!!!!!!!
236 bear pit // Aug 26, 2008 at 22:36
Bassong had a massive game tonite and Colo is a class act. Its the CB pairing I’d like to see but doubt he’ll drop Taylor. Shame though, I didnt miss his errors one bit !! Geremi had a shocker.
