Sunday Dugout Discussion
Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Akers
The Dugout Discussion opens this afternoon, hoping for a similar goal glut witnessed in yesterday’s edition. We’ve two games to pour over, with all four clubs with something to play for. Later we’ll be at White Hart Lane where Tottenham continue to chase Champions League qualification against relegation fighting Blackburn. Before that there’s a West London derby at Stamford Bridge, between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers…
Chelsea XI: Cech, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Terry, Cole, Mata, Essien, Lampard, Sturridge, Torres, Kalou.
QPR: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo, Mackie, Barton, Derry, Buzsaky, Cisse, Zamora.
As expected, Roberto Di Matteo has tinkered with his line-up ahead of of a huge night in Munich, but somewhat surprisingly there are still starts for the likes of Juan Mata and Frank Lampard.
The visitors name an attacking line-up, with Djibril Cisse partnering Bobby Zamora up front.
The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open – with moderators will be on hand to resolve any issues – and can be accessed right here.

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”
Jan Vertonghen outlines what he feels is his best position for Andre Villas-Boas

Inside the box. Should be given to Mata soon, based on the rules.
April 29 at 1:46 pm
crystalpalaceRus says:
I guess u own mata
April 29 at 1:48 pm
Demi says:
Are you wumming?!
It’s a clear assist, under the rules. Not a Mata owner, but why should they be deprived of a legit assist
April 29 at 1:50 pm
crystalpalaceRus says:
The rules are stupid then because it shouldnt have anything to do with mata if sturridge shot, hit qpr defender, back to sturridge, and shoots again
April 29 at 1:46 pm
Lovzat says:
Inside ?
April 29 at 1:47 pm
Gargamel says:
100% a Mata assist
April 29 at 1:49 pm
Lad V says:
yep, looks like another ridiculous assist
April 29 at 1:50 pm
JackBauer says:
What does the inside the box thing have to do with Mata when Sturridge kicked it off him? Am I missing something?

Declan - I will get into top 100k eventually says:
Did the same one. I just need vdv to do something and my 12 pointer will have paid off.
April 29 at 1:45 pm
Bowstring92 says:
Shouldn’t have been a goal he kneed someone in the back to get to that ball
April 29 at 1:45 pm
Teesra (GW 7 Starter) says:
O terry scored. I said he would get a hattrick today

Manani says:
is it true that forest won the epl the season after their promotion? or is it just a data fault on football manger?
April 29 at 1:47 pm
Gaz Downright says:
had to be the old 1st division in that case
April 29 at 1:50 pm
Manani says:
what is the difference?
April 29 at 1:54 pm
Gaz Downright says:
more than one should believe
4 less teams
exclusive TV rights
good trademark
all factors contributing to it becoming the best league in the world
Clough at Forest win from promotion? Don’t have the facts, but sounds possible

moment says:
I did Vidic captain for a DGW two seasons ago and it turned out genius, 2 clean sheets, 2 x Baps and a goal… And BAE was the best choice for the spurs DGW this season. So good thinking. Makes it anxious cleanie-wise, of course…
April 29 at 1:50 pm
dwmr says:
Yeh it does, but my main rival captained Cisse so I’m already up on him in that regard! Why didn’t I put a bet on lol
April 29 at 1:47 pm
Pork Pie Sausage Roll says:
Wish I’d put more on the PP Enhanced odds. Being a broke student makes anything greater than a tenner seem like big bucks though

April 29 at 1:55 pm
Reacher says:
Archie there all good footballers, enough said
April 29 at 1:48 pm
JackBauer says:
It’s ridiculous how often Terry scores after his latest being-a-c*nt-controversy.
Unless it’s just my perception.
April 29 at 1:49 pm
vilmorez says:
I freakin knew he’d score today after what happened as well, was the only defender I considered taking a hit for, would’ve been worth it already xD
April 29 at 1:50 pm
Evs says:
No, he is c**t it’s not just perception
April 29 at 1:50 pm
The3rdTurd says:
C*ntishness is an inherent character trait of his. I don’t think he turns it on and off at will.
April 29 at 1:48 pm
colonel shoe says:

April 29 at 1:49 pm
