Sunday Dugout Discussion

With Gareth Bale and Michu tearing up defences and delivering big returns from Saturday’s matches, there’s much anticipation ahead of Sunday’s programme. While Aston Villa’s clash with West Ham seems likely to be an edgy battle of attrition, the Old Trafford clash between United and Everton looks to have a lot going for it. Sir Alex Ferguson’s teamsheet will be of keen interest in that one, while the Toffees will be looking to repeat last season’s thrilling 4-4 draw and perhaps keep the title race interesting.

The early team news is in and sees Paul Lambert make three changes to the Villa XI, with Nathan Baker, Fabian Delph and Jordan Bowery replacing Joe Bennett, Karim El Ahmadi and Gabby Agbonlahor.

For the Hammers, Joe Cole and Emanuel Pogatetz come in for Matt Jarvis and Ricardo Vaz Te; Guy Demel is on the bench.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to provide a backdrop to the day’s action.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Thoughts from the game ...

    RVP is going nowhere, he stays in my team. Played as a striker, whereas Rooney drifts, sometimes quite deep.
    Evans is coming in for me. United tightening up now, as hoped.
    Valencia is still not even worth a punt. Sad face.

    Felliani on 8 YC's now. He's bound to get two more before the season ends. Plus potentially no game GW29.

    Hmmmm maybe my candidate to lose for Bale has just risen his Afo'ed bonce.

      We've been through this getting rid of Afro lark before and if I remember rightly, it cost quite a few people 15 points last week 😀

        Alright, thx! Rival said he would get him in for Gerrard after DGW. But he always does his transfers late and got 0.0 in bank. Too bad... 😉

    4 yellow cards so far this GW. That's a whole transfer's worth of cautions.

    Whoever told me to get Hernandez, I wish I had listened 🙁
    Anyway, 16 points from that game pre-bonus is great - 43 with 3 DGWers is relatively respectable. Anyone 60+ this week?
