Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Everton

Gameweek 32’s inaugural fixture sees Swansea City welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off. Both sides boast good form leading up to this encounter, with the Swans earning victories in the previous two Gameweeks, while the Toffees are in the midst of a three-match wining streak.

All eyes will be on Bafetimbi Gomis in the wake of his brace against Hull City last time out. The ex-Lyon frontman has struggled to fill the void created by Wilfried Bony’s departure to Manchester City, yet four goals for Gomis in as many starts suggests he’ll be a key player for the Welsh outfit throughout their agreeable run-in. Elsewhere in the Swansea camp, Ki Sung-Yeung continues to impress with his goalscoring prowess – having netted four goals in the past eight Gameweeks – while Gylfi Sigurdsson has delivered attacking returns in two of his last four outings.

Garry Monk is forced into one change to the side that saw off ten-man Hull City last time out – Angel Rangel comes in at right-back with Kyle Naughton forced to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Everton’s upturn in form has renewed Fantasy interest in the likes of right-back Seamus Coleman, who bagged a goal and an assist in their Gameweek 30 visit to Loftus Road. The Irish international has benefited from Everton’s much-improved defensive resolve in recent weeks, with Roberto Martinez’s men conceding a solitary goal in their last three league clashes. Today’s teamsheet finds Everton unchanged, as Romelu Lukaku misses out once again: Arouna Kone leads the attack with Ross Barkley up in support.

      Why would he be off penos and especially as he is now captain?

      Who's going to argue with him and pull rank if he decides he's taking them?

    Have Soton gone 352 then?

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Toby may play RB, I reckon.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        Does it for Belgium.

      2. Numb

        Oh yeah

      3. La Roja

        Clyne dropped?

    2. Ludo
      • 10 Years

      Looks like Toby at right back

  18. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years

    Lovely, good man Andros - keep any possible penos from Kane. Haz captainer.

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Kane takes them anyway now.

      1. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        Don't think so.

      2. Nico.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        Only happened once, when he was on a hattrick

    2. Ed
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      He'll come off around 70, Kane to then get peno for his hat-trick

  19. sinik

  21. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 19 days ago

    Clyne is stalling on his contract talks, seriously considering ditching him now if this is the reason as I think more bench time will happen if Soton are to prepare for life without him.

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      Though we'll lose Toby too so it's not the best long-term plan.

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        Aye, that is a problem that they will have to address. Have heard Trippier has been looked into by the Saints.

    2. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 19 days ago

      He was going for me in 34 anyway, he better stay on the bench.

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 19 days ago

        Aye, or come on after 10 minutes.
