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.

        It’s a clear assist, under the rules. Not a Mata owner, but why should they be deprived of a legit assist

          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

          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

      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…

“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
