The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

An inauspicious start at Old Trafford leads us into four more Premier League encounters, with all three promoted sides in action.

Bournemouth host Aston Villa at “Vitality Stadium” (no really), Norwich take on Alan Pardew’s emerging Palace lineup at Carrow Road, while Watford make the testing trip to Goodison Park to face Everton.

Leicester and Sunderland complete the quartet, with Claudio Ranieri making his Premier League return in the Foxes hot-seat as he locks horns with Black Cats boss, Dick Advocaat.

These four matches are followed by the late kick-off at Stamford Bridge as champions Chelsea open their account against Garry Monk’s Swansea.

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

      That is such a knee jerk reaction! Did you even watch the game? He actually got himself into some very good positions and the final ball just wasn't there.

          Yea don't think I agree with this. I thought the Bournemouth attack were decent, and Villa were lucky to get the win. Bournemouth the better side on the day, and had enough decent chances to win it. Nothing to suggest that similar chances will not be finished off in future encounters.
