AVB better start Holtby and Ade. I can't take watching Dempsey up front by himself :avbfacepalm:

I think as a mark of respect due to recent events, this game should be dedicated to the quick and sustained return to health of "Gazza". Every now and again a true Legend graces the theatre that is WHL. This guy, I'm sure you will agree is up there with the best. I think someone else mentioned in another thread that some kind of Fan tribute should be made on Saturday, I'm sure that the Geordies will be thinking the same. Lets hope it happens.
Will be one bloody tight game. Thriller.
NUFC look to have made some extremely tight signings. Some of them are some right value deals. Moussa Sissoko for under £5m? Brilliant.
The one silver lining will have to be, that NUFC are certain to come right out at us, which means that Bale will have plenty of 1-on-1's with their wide defenders.

I'm not having people say they would rather have Kane up top over Dempsey, wtf is that all about?!
A proven premier league scorer against a kid who has virtually no top flight experience whatsoever. Yeah fine if this isn't a massively important game, but in the circumstances no bloody way. And I'm not a huge fan of Dempsey either, but its a no brainer.

I don't see where this fucking Dempsey hate is coming from, excluding Bale, Lloris and Sandro obviously, he's been no worse than anyone else and I use the word 'worse' losely.
He's scored many a goal and important ones. I didn't watch him at Fulham extensively but I reckon he's had a similar season here as he would have there. If he'd have done what he's done for us this season, I.e the man united goals, for Fulham people would have been still raving about him as they have have been in the last few years.

:lennon:
Ha yeah but that was when he was at Fulham.
Back on the point, there is no way he should be relegated to playing behind Harry Kane.
I think Dempsey and Defoe are kind of similar, in the way that they're both very frustrating to watch when they have off days. In my opinion, at least Defoe tries. Dempsey's lack of mobility and a decent first touch just fucks up our rhythm.
dempsey has contributed more than defoe has in the last few games
Togo played 4 games in 13 days vs Spurs 4 games in 15 days.............he's not actually tired he's just saying he is as a way of telling everyone that he worked hard for his team
Not really my point. Just saying, I would prefer an off-day Defoe over an off-day Dempsey.
Agreed. He'll have had a week off besides training. Isn't that a fairly decent amount of recovery time?
At least Defoe tries? When is the last time you have seen him covering back. Dempsey is a workhorse. His first touch can be frustrating to be sure, but to suggest Defoe works harder is a farce. Dempsey's main attribute is his work rate and effort. It may not be pretty, but it works. And I'd rather Dempsey/Holtby than Kane/Holtby any day of the week.
