The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 6 – Monday

1,672 Comments

Gameweek 6 concludes this evening with a Monday night battle at The Britannia. Mark Hughes’ side have yet to either score or pick up a point at home this season after losing both their opening fixtures in front of the Potters supporters – form in stark contrast to last season’s, where they lost at home on just three occasions.

Hughes’ troops will be buoyed by their visitors’ league displays. Newcastle have drawn blanks in both their road trips, though a midweek cup win at Hull, where new boy Emmanuel Riviere notched twice, will boost their confidence.

Mark Hughes makes just a single alteration from the side that drew against QPR last weekend, bringing in Mark Muniesa for Erik Pieters at left-back after the former notched twice in a cup win at Sunderland. Further up the field, Victor Moses, Charlie Adam and Mame Biram Diouf line up behind lone striker Peter Crouch.

For the Magpies, Tim Krul, Yoan Gouffran and Papiss Cisse recover from illness, though the latter continues on the bench as he’s eased back into action following a long-term knee injury. Daryl Janmaat and Cheick Tiote also retain their starting berths after overcoming knocks sustained in last week’s home draw with Hull.

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

      Half time. Can I ask a dumb question please.
      Having not owned Siggy yet this season, is he an obvious Ramsey replacement? I know he's had a few blanks but there was probably reasonable excuses for 2 of 3 blanks.

      Midfield currently Ramsey, Sterling, ADM, Fabregas, Wanyama.

      Do you really want Jagielka?

      If he hadn't have scored this weekend would you still have got him?

      Moreno looks like a waste too. Chambers will have to go when Debuchy is back.

      Get either Baines or Ivanovic and go cheap with the other defs.

        Chambers should be good until December, which is when Debuchy gets back. So figured its an easy in for the Arsenal defence. Moreno is a punt but I figure Pool defence is a must with their fixtures.

        Might play around with the Baines idea. Wanted him in.
