I think we might see a closer to first team side playing today , villareal are no pushovers they finished 2nd last season and challenged for the title , expect it to be a tight game maybe us nicking it with the odd goal , if we play almost our first team .

2-1 , torres and keane

Has Lucas not already left for the Olympics ? I hope Ngog gets a run out, as I have never seen him play.

never cared about friendlies. no one tacles, no one tries even. its just like watching the warm ups... wont learn a thing from any of this in my opinion

weve learnt that you dont like friendles

[RUSHIE#9]

Been looking forward to this one since last week and with the prospect of seeing the new lads starting with a few of the 1st team regulars it should give us an early idea of how things may shape up. I'd like to see Nemeth get a run along side the likes of Gerrard, Torres & Keane as I think he could be a useful back up to the 1st team this season with the new 7 subs on the bench rule.

looking forward to tonight.....i think torres and nemeth might start up top with keane and ngog coming on in second half.

I hope they play Keane and Torres together for a while tonight, I want to see how the partnership goes , and while they obviously won't have a good understanding of each others play yet, it may give some indication of how Rafa sees the partnership developing.

NEMETH IN LINE FOR DEBUT
 
Hungarian hot-shot Krisztian Nemeth is in line to make his long awaited first team debut in tonight's friendly against Villarreal. 
The 19-year old striker has been drafted into manager Rafael Benitez's plans for the game, while new signings Robbie Keane and David Ngog could also be given their first action in a red shirt.
 
Nemeth was the star performer of the reserve team's triple trophy haul last season and Benitez feels the time is right for him to make the step up to first team football.
 
"Krisztian is a player who has a lot of potential and I feel the time is right to include him in the first team squad for the game against Villarreal," said Benitez,
 
"He played very well for the reserves last season and scored quite a lot of goals. It is clear that he has the ability to score but he also has good game intelligence.
 
"We have high hopes for him but he must continue to work hard every day because that is the only way to improve.
 
"The good thing is Krisztian likes to learn and work with the coaching staff and this will only help him."
 
Nemeth will be joined in tonight's squad by reserve team-mates Stephen Darby, Jay Spearing, Daniel Pacheco, Emiliano Insua and Damien Plessis with Benitez again expected to give his younger players a chance to impress.
 
"The young players are doing a very good job and the work that they have been doing is already bearing fruit," he said.
 
"We have good quality in the reserve team and we can see these players being in the first team in the future.
 
"We have done this without spending big money on them, the cost to the club has been minimum.
 
"It was important that we signed these players when we did because we needed to improve and it is clear that this has already happened because last season the reserve team won the league and the average age of the team was just 18.
 
"These players clearly have great potential and it would be very hard to find better young players than them without spending big money.
 
"Hopefully they will go on to fulfil their potential because this would save the club a lot of money.
 
"Every year the quality of the squad is improving and these players are an important part of that improvement."

hearing such good things about this kid... it gives even more reason to fob voronin off somewhere else!!

I have been very impressed with Pacheco in the earlier games, if Nemeth is anything like that standard I think we will have two cracking prospects for the future.

[JoeTerp]

Would like to see Pacheco start with Nemeth, then for Torres to come on for Nemeth and then Keane to come on for Pacheco.

[LegBarnes]

Torres to start in center like always like keane to be given free role in final 3rd so he can run the channels out wide and pull players out of postion that will help torres alot.
