Saturday Dugout Dicussion

There’s nothing like the smell of a Derby in the morning.

The Dugout Discussion now opens as Everton play host to Liverpool in our early kick-off and with a bang things shall begin, one doth imagine.

Louis Saha finally returns to the Everton team as he replaces Phil Neville in the only changes for the hosts while the short-haul visitors also make a solitary change with Dirk Kuyt coming in for Jordan Henderson. Teams in full are…

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Distin, Jagielka, Baines; Coleman, Rodwell, Fellaini, Cahill, Osman; Saha

Liverpool XI: Reina; Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Enrique; Kuyt, Lucas, Adam, Downing; Carroll, Suarez

The five remaining three o’clock fixtures, while not on quite the same level locally, promise just as much interest for the Fantasy Managers looking to snap up some big scores before another international break.

Eyes will then be firmly planted on the likes Nani and Wayne Rooney (at home to Norwich), David Silva and Sergio Aguero (visiting wayward Blackburn) and a feast of players from Barry Bannan to Steven Taylor as things wrap up a little earlier for Fantasy Managers today.

Unless, of course, you have a hankering for some punishment and decide another derby (Leicester visiting Derby, in fact). The 124 Fantasy Managers in our Texaco Fantasy Championship Scout League may be just mad enough. And me, the Leicester fan.

      5m nailed on defender for a top 4/5 side. Madness not to have him.

        Top 4/5 side, not a top 4/5 defence IMO. I don't feel the need to get him yet, when fixtures improve maybe.

          Silva and RvP out for Nani and Hernandez could be two of the worst transfers in my career. RvP could make it suicidal tomorrow.

            I ate well off of him last season, but SAF is constantly progressing. May be the reason for his success, the Barça loss was, I believe transformational to him as he vowed not to let himself be beaten by that brand of football again. Look at the only poacher for Barça (Villa...and maybe Pedro), they are years ahead of where Chich is. And their roles are large against high line teams and extremely low against conventional defensive line teams. Nani is a whole different bag of worms only the cats at Zonal Marking could begin to unravel.

              Welbeck does seem to link up play better as he drops deep and puts himself about more. Wouldn't surprise me if Chicha is left out against Liverpool with Welbeck and Rooney starting.

                GW 2 & 3 with the brand of play was woodie inciting for the coaching staff. Taka taka,samba-esque type of ball, Spurs had no chance, and Barça couldn´t beat Arsenal that bad given the chance last season. SAF knows that Chich is a piece that won´t change and can be plugged in late as Villa and Pedro were, with relatively little few problems. They are developing the short touch game now. DO NOT forget about Chich, he could very well be a goal machine once the Man U fuel injected engine has completed it´s upgrade.
