Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Man United Vs Tottenham

It’s here. The new Premier League season is upon us and begins within the fitting confines of the “theatre of dreams”.

Old Trafford hosts the season opener, as Louis van Gaal’s freshly sculpted Manchester Untied lineup host Tottenham.

It’s a lip-smacking, sun drenched prospect, played on a billiard table of a surface, with an array of Fantasy talent on show.

Immediately we hope to assess the prospects of both Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane – two protagonists who will surely play some part in our seasons, if not our Gameweek 1 lineups.

Following that, we’ve a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs and a tea-time date with the champions.

It’s great to be back.

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

      Howe has said numerous times that he'll reward loyalty and that the promoted team have their positions to lose.

      Richie, Francis and Wilson were the ones to pick. Wouldn't be surprised to see Smith at 4.0 become an option.

          I'll be honest I didn't expect it to be as it is, however you also knew the risk after he comes out and says that.

          They'll be changes to come too.

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Who is your other GK?

        2. Jax
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          play your other keeper.

        3. emperikal
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Kasper but still an issue going forward

      11. The Chosen One...
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        All the doubts were on Francis' starting place, should have been Mings
