The Dugout Discussion – United v Everton

1,933 Comments
Share

Sunday gets underway with a noon kick-off at Old Trafford as United prepare to take on Everton. The Toffees registered back-to-back wins over their hosts last season, though with Louis van Gaal at the helm, the Red Devils are slowly starting to find their feet and go in search of a third successive home win this afternoon.

With Wayne Rooney suspended, Van Gaal – as expected – hands Juan Mata the role in “the hole”, while Antonio Valencia replaces the injured Ander Herrera in one of only two changes by the Dutchman. Up top, Robin van Persie goes in search of a third successive strike and strike partner Radamel Falcao is still looking for his first goal since arriving on loan from Monaco.

The likes of Seamus Coleman, Sylvain Distin and James McCarthy all miss out for Everton, though Steven Pienaar returns to the XI, as Roberto Martinez rolls out a 4-2-3-1, with the South African joining Steven Naismith and Aiden McGeady in the attacking midfield three behind Romelu Lukaku.

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

    7th repost (this week, and I hope last)

    2-tier draft league starting this Sunday night (after the games).

    Currently have one spot left open in 2nd division. May have more and may start additional related leagues during next international break if there's enough interest. First e-mail, first in (no special preferences for rank or name).

    Both leagues are 20-team leagues. Will definitely expand to three leagues next season. Bottom three teams in leagues relegated down. Top 3 teams in lower leagues promoted.

    If interested, e-mail planeticket@mail.com and I will send you an e-mail back from my hotmail account that I don't want to post in a public forum.

    Thank you,
    HeelsOverHead

      * the draft starts tonight at 6pm in the UK. It is a slow draft and will probably take up most of the international break.

      Not a betting man, but the idea of a quid or 2 on my VC or 1st bench player would probably reap rewards given the number of times I seem to get it wrong over the years!

    De Gea, Hamer
    Terry, Chambers, Clyne, Taylor, DUFF
    Sterling, Siggy, Fabregas, Di Maria, Cork
    Costa, Pelle, WEIMANN

    Transfers that I thought of:
    1. Duff> Baines and Weiman>Welbeck
    2. Terry>Wilson (or a 4.5m defender) and Weimann>Aguero

    I have two free transfers.
    I’m quite in a dilemma. The first option doesn’t grant me any City cover and that bothers me due to their good fixtures. My gut tells me that the first option would give me more points.
    Suggestions please.
