Dugout Discussion

Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 9

A chilly Saturday afternoon greets the start of Gameweek nine, as twelve Premier League sides do battle once more. The Dugout Discussion opens it’s doors, in time for the early kick-off at Villa Park between Aston Villa and Norwich City. The team news is in, and is as follows…

Villa XI: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Bennett, El Ahmadi, Delph, Herd, Albrighton, Holman, Agbonlahor, Benteke.

Norwich XI: Ruddy, R. Martin, Bassong, Turner, Garrido, Johnson, Tettey, E. Bennett, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Holt.

Paul Lambert makes three changes to his team, as he seeks victory over his former employers. Christian Benteke, Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd come in, with Darren Bent, Stephen Ireland and Nathan Baker making way.

After his sides impressive victory over Arsenal last week, Chris Hughton names the same starting eleven that earned those three points.

We’ve then got dose of four 3p.m. games, before the Champions see us out this evening against Swansea. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

        based on the fact that they have no discipline or football intelligence and cannot keep 11 men on the pitch.
        Cisse, Onouha, Mbia, Traore, Tarrabt, Diakate, Johnson, Mackie, Bothroyd!!!

        Talk about a bunch of overpaid misfits, Championship quality with Granero and Ceasar throw in...

        He's right, we have no discipline. M'Bia is such an idiot, that was the most brainless red card I've ever seen

      equal : "Stephane Mbia was given QPR's 9th Premier League red card in 2012, equalling the record for most reds in a calendar year: Everton (1995), WHU (1999)."
