Sunday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 12
Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Paul
Just the one game to keep us ticking over today, as Fulham play host to out-of-sorts Sunderland. Plenty will be hoping for another big haul from Dimitar Berbatov after a rare blank from Robin Van Persie at Norwich yesterday. As always, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open ahead of the 4pm kick off:
The team news is as follows:
Martin Jol makes three changes from the side that drew 3-3 at Arsenal last Saturday. The alterations all come in midfield, with Damien Duff coming in for Ashkan Dejagah on the right, while Alex Kacaniklic steps in for the injured Kieran Richardson on the opposite flank. Veteran Giorgos Karagounis earns his first league start for the Cottagers – he partners Steve Sidwell in the centre, with Mahamadou Diarra injured and Chris Baird serving a one-match suspension.
Schwarzer; Riether, Hughes, Hangeland, Riise; Duff, Karagounis, Sidwell, Kacaniklic; Ruiz, Berbatov
For Sunderland, Martin O’Neill makes two alterations from last week’s defeat at Everton. Phil Bardsley has shrugged off a hamstring problem to replace the suspended Craig Gardner at right-back, while Lee Cattermole’s recovery from a knee problem forces a midfield reshuffle. Seb Larsson is moved from the centre to the right, with Adam Johnson shifting to the left, meaning James McClean drops to the bench for the second time in the last three Gameweeks.
Mignolet; Bardsley, Cuellar, O’Shea, Rose; Larsson, Cattermole, Colback, Johnson; Sessegnon, Fletcher.

“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.”

Corrigan says:
Thinking towards next season, I’ll have a structure something like:
4.5 | 4.5
3 x 4 | 4 | 4 at the back
4.5 midfielder
and then fill in the rest accordingly…

Anyone think Larsson is a viable 5th mid for now until their DGW or is he too expensive for a 5th mid
November 18 at 7:07 pm
Intricacy says:
Sunderland don’t score goals. Their problems haven’t magically gone away due to knocking a few goals in against 10 man Fulham you know.
Was Larsson even involved at all anyway?
So no, no I don’t think he’s viable.
November 18 at 7:11 pm
Binij says:
He’s on set pieces and pens so I’m hopeful that he will break his duck

Some men think that using a moisturiser after you’ve had a shave is a bit gay – I don’t, I just think it makes my legs lovely and soft.

Get to my age and you don’t need to shave your legs….

Those that have Cuellar on the pitch for this gameweek are either:
a) Very weak in defence
b) Casuals who forgot to change their team
c) Geniuses
There’s a fine line between a genius and an idiot.

Baps are up. 63 with Nolan and Bego to play tomorrow. Reasonably happy I think
November 18 at 7:07 pm
King Cabbage says:
Reasonably? You’re doing well above what your history would predict, so can I have some of your luck please

Slight green arrow +400 places pre-bonus.
Likely to have a slight red arrow post-bonus, only 4 points for me.

Got two free transfers, 0.5m in bank and willing to mix it up with a possible hit. keeping bale and ba
Any wacky ideas guys?

The bonus system drives me mad sometimes but I suppose we would moan no matter what, like the days when David Luiz seemed to get 3 bp’s for being on the pitch. Suarez was by far, like usual the best player on the pitchfor little reward.

So happy about the decision to keep Hangeland for this week. And to get Cazorla out. Ouch.
Now, Rafael or Cuellar in?
