Here is the Alan Shearer Press Conference that took place this afternoon for our important game against Middlesbrough on Monday night.
Alan seems surprisingly very relaxed about things.

“worky na the horse man likes shearer and wouldnt slag him like he does m8”
Aye batty, that’s one of the reasons why I wrote that I wasn’t sure at all, but they think and write in very similar ways, and there’s never been anyone else quite like Stardust on here before!
I like Shearer too, and I don’t “slag” him either, but I still have grave doubts about the tactics the team have used so far though. Dowie has a bigger influence than anyone’s letting on.

Comment #44I think the thing that gave Dowie’s influence away was the use of wingbacks a couple of games ago. Dowie’s tried to use wingbacks at most of the clubs he’s managed.

Comment #45Team to beat Boro
Harper
Beye Bassong Colo Duff
Geremi Butt Smith Nolan
Owen Martins
A very solid team across the middle. Boro will never get past them.

Comment #46We dare not lose the Boro game. If we get a draw there, I think we can beat Fulham and 35 points should be enough to keep us up.

Comment #47Well nobody in our team can pass the ball so we may as well try to out-battle boro.

“I think the thing that gave Dowie’s influence away was the use of wingbacks a couple of games ago. Dowie’s tried to use wingbacks at most of the clubs he’s managed.”
Yup, other things too. Body language on the touchline, Dowie’s references to what “Me and Alan” are doing at the club etc.

Team to beat Boro?? No I dont think so, Boro have a lot of pace and a midfield of Geremi-Butt-Smith-Nolan(LM?) have ZERO and plus Owen Martins upfront doesnt work either so…

They can all pass the ball really well.
What they cannot do is run with the ball and beat a player. You cannot stand around and pass your way though Liverpool, Manure etc. Thats why we pass the ball sideways and backwards. Thats why we end up hoofing the ball forwards. If we played Darlington you would say that we can pass the ball. No, we can beat their players man for man and then make the forward dangerous pass.

Comment #51Owen/Martins up front only works with a playmaker to thread passes through the oppositions defence. We have no such player (except Nacho), so we need a big man to hold it up.

Comment #52Toon_Factor, you beat me to it, I’d have to say that the only way forward on Monday is attack, with pace. The smogs struggle to score away and WE’RE at home.
nufc.com have Smith listed as “unlikely to feature” anyway. I reckon we’re much more likely to get something worthy against the smogs than to away low-score draw specialists Fulham.
…anyway, I’ll leave the backlash to you TF as I need to dash……..

SUBS: KRUL, COLOCCINI, R.TAYLOR, GUTHRIE, NOLAN, LUALUA, CARROLL
Think we might line up like that.

Comment #54Does anyone besides me think Edgar should start instead off Duff at left back, I know people were singing his praises and Alan Shearer too, but Boro are have a lot of tall players and we need an extra head in there expecially since Taylor might not be fully fit.

Comment #55I think we really want our fullbacks attacking, the idea is to create chances. We obviously need a lot of chances for our misfiring strikers.

Comment #56Lets hope Hull don’t beat Stoke on Saturday because that would make the Boro game very big indeed. It seems that each of our recent games have got “bigger” because we have been unable to win them. Eventually there comes a time when the game is too big. Its called “already relegated.” Lets hope its not the Fulham game.
