Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Burnley Vs Man United

Gameweek 3 gets underway with a lunchtime encounter between Burnley and troubled United. Having lost their first two matches, the Clarets are desperate to get points on the board and will certainly be buoyed by the current form of today’s opponents, as Louis van Gaal’s side stumble from one poor result to another.

With Angel di Maria poised to make his debut for the visitors, though, Fantasy owners of United’s attackers have a renewed sense of optimism for the Turf Moor meet. Captain Poll favourite Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie are all more than capable of delivering in emphatic fashion and could be set to benefit from the Argentine’s arrival.

Following this one, we have five matches to savour at 3pm before Everton host Chelsea in the evening kick-off at Goodison.

    Well life will be easy now. Just do Mata and Rooney --> Aguero and Siggy for free

    Keep RVP for QPR (H) or just get Wayne disappointment Rooney?

    Loic Remy was in QPR team at 1pm. Only then did Chelsea trigger release clause, believed to be £10.5m. Remy offered to play but left out.

    We joked about Man U being a mid table team but the results speak for themselves. It's getting that way.

    Time to phase in Liverpool players from GW4 methinks.

    United's awesome fixtures have no meaning when they're playing like a League 2 team.

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mata > Sterling for me

    2. Pratik

      What makes you think Liverpool will be lighting up the league?

      1. Billy Gilmore

        Your lads will get a taste tomorrow 😉

        Atleast they have players who can play good football. That's all you need to do well against poor sides.

        9 years, 8 months ago

        Doubt I'll do it. Was just having a play around and it looks appealing. Dunno if I want double city strikers for the next two

    Pardew ommitting Dummet is one big surprise.. not after they managed a clean sheet last week

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      have u seen dummett play? he is awful. Haidara is much better. Finally Pardew sees the light.. the newcastle fans have been calling it from the start

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years

    As a Rooney owner I don't care that he blanked as nearly everyone has him and lots captained him. 😉

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

    3. 50shades of o'shea
      • 10 Years

      Never going to happen

  24. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I don't think LVG has any option but to play 3-5-2 as he has no fit full backs

  25. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

    Di Maria the only positive thing to take from todays match for managers looking at United players

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's injured

      1. RyanFootballChatbox
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        International break will help

  29. NotNowKato
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So if Palace line is Speroni, Mariappa, Dann, Delaney, Kelly, Puncheon, Jedinak, Ward, Bolasie, Chamakh, Gayle does that mean that Colin is trying Ward OOP as a winger?

    1. Ludo
      • 10 Years

      Speroni
      Kelly Dann Delaney Mariappa
