Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

Last season’s top two go head-to-head at the Etihad this evening as Gameweek 2 is brought to its conclusion. Both City and Liverpool go in search of a second successive win, allowing Fantasy managers the chance to assess our options in midfield and attack, with Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Daniel Sturridge looking to get amongst the goals once again.

Aguero remains on the bench for City, however, as Manuel Pellegrini makes just one change from the side that defeated Newcastle last Sunday. The City boss hands Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko the chance to lead the line again, then, whilst Pablo Zabaleta is drafted in at right-back, with Gael Clichy swapping over to the other flank as Aleksandar Kolarov drops out.

Brendan Rodgers makes a couple of alterations to the XI that started against Southampton last time around. New signing Alberto Moreno is handed a debut at left-back, with Glen Johnson shifting to the right of defence as Javier Manquillo drops out. Elsewhere, Joe Allen comes in for Lucas in the centre of the park.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If an own goal, then must have been a Lambert assist?

      But I saw it as a Lambert goal.

  22. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Hart attack

  23. tm245
    • 12 Years

    Lambert has to finish that one.

  24. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Don't see how that would be a Zabaleta own goal???

    Rickie Lambert goal surely.

    So how essential is Aguero going to become?

    Anyone else considering Rooney to Aguero?

    1. Hibbopotamus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      This whole site is, pretty much. I'm sticking with Rooney for now b/c of his fixtures and the fact that I have Jove. But that looks to be the move if you don't have Yaya.
