Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – United v Everton

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

    Forster & Moreno -> Mannone & Baines, for free, worth it:

    A. Hell yeah
    B. No way Jose

    ?

      No way if you're getting rid of Forster

    2. FISSH

      Moreno yes Forster no

      If you've got Southampton covered elsewhere for sure. Moreno could do well with his fixtures/attacking threat, but so far he really hasn't! Baines has just as good fixtures, but much better form.

      Yay for me

      Mannone's fixtures go rubbish, but he's a save point magnet

      Yeah, to the right of your team it says gameweek 8. Click on performance and use the arrows either side to go backwards and forwards.

    Arsenal fans traveled with flairs. That is why the game is delayed. They think they are Galatha fans 🙁 😆
