The Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man City

2,250 Comments
Share

We have to face it – after the momentous points bonanza of Gameweek 8, this weekend may well be a bit of a comedown.

Six Saturday fixtures will have the task of setting us up for another round of three-figure hauls and, ironically, it all begins with last weekend’s leading man on show as Man City crash Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Sergio Aguero and City will surely face an uncomfortable ride in East London, with the resurgent Hammers giddy at the prospect of facing the champions whilst sitting in fourth place in the table. Fantasy managers will, nonetheless, be anticipating and expecting the Aguero show to rumble on through the home defence: the Argentine sports the armband for many and we’ll look for at least one goal from him amongst the huff and puff of today’s early kick-off.

Following that, we’ve just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before Swansea host Leicester in a gentle-looking evening clash to see us out.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Knew Sakho would get some points from that game! He's looking as good a buy as anyone in the league at the moment!

          He's only every scored more than one goal in an away game on four occasions. Personally, I'd want more than a goal from my captain, as I would expect more than that from at least one other player in my team. His consistency away has been good, but not explosive.

    Didn't want to captain Aguero but the risk was too great. It was as likely he'd score as he wouldn't. I don't regret captaining at all really. Imagine if he had pulled of that brace
