We should try Bendtner and Adebayor partnership, we won't know if it works or not until it is tried. Both Bendtner and Adebayor are 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in) according to wikipedia; they are taller than all Newcastle centre-backs. Seeing that Newcastle's defence has been in bad form and are shorter than Bendtner and Adebayor; wouldn’t this be a good time to test the partnership?
No because we are not that sort of team. Given the style of football we play, it is irrelevant how tall our strikers are as we don't put any emphasis on getting crosses in to the box. Sure, we've scored a couple like that this season, but molding our game around that, after having no experience of doing that would be suicide. It would leave us way too one dimensional and we would run out of ideas way too quickly.
With so many quality players out it will be a hard game. But we have good players taking their places, and newcastle have been crap this season, so think we will win. Maby a 2-1 win?
our young guns done em 2-0 at the grove in the carling cup, i reckon thier could be a SHOCK ON THE CARDS HERE, I RECKON.....NO IM NOT GUNNER JINX IT, BUT I CAN SEE US COMMIN HAME WITH 3 POINTS!!!
i could c newcastle winning this, its all set for an easy arsenal victory the way both teams are playing, but fat sam has a reasonable record agaisnt us and im sure he's likely to use his tried and tested bullying tactics - martins could cause a few probs too. However, the toon arent havent as much of a physical presence as bolton had under sam altho i dont like that faye fella. Just be nice to c us play 4-4-2 cos i think we create more chance but considering we havent lost uncer it yet i dont think i can really complain too much!!
I would love to see Bendtner with Adebayor up front, can not see any reason not to try it out, they will keep the Newcasle defenders very busy, and give room for Rosicky or Theo to get the goals.
