Dugout Discussion – Hull City vs Man United

4,413 Comments
Share

Hull City and Manchester United conclude the day’s events with a top of the table clash at the KCOM stadium.

Against the odds, both teams go into the tea-time kick-off having won both their opening matches, with Tigers boss Mike Phelan working miracles with a threadbare squad.

Not surprisingly, both Hull and United are unchanged. Whilst that could be down to very limited options in Phelan’s case, Jose Mourinho chooses to keep his winning side intact, with Chris Smalling and Henrikh Mkhitaryan again named on the bench.

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

    FPLStats had Kone earlier today at -101.

    He is now showing as -0.2.

    Why the massive change? We're they off due to WC'S being played?

    Should I pull the trigger tonight on getting him out to be safe?

    Anybody have any clue?

            Good stuff.

            Gives me a day or two to decide who to drop between him or Pieters.

            Thanks guys.

      Neither will be 1st choice. Pickford was at fault for the goal today and Moyes was saying how you never know what you will get with young keepers. It would be harsh for Hull to drop Jaku straight away after his performances so far so I went with him.

    Its very difficult to fit Hazard AND Sanchez into a team with Ibra and Auguero without decimating the rest of your squad.

    Hazard is looking like Mr Consistent this season whilst Sanchez will no doubt carry on his record of 2, 2, 2, 20, 2, 3, 2 etc.

    Which would you prefer. I'd much prefer Hazard, Sanchez is a very frustrating player to own and you can't beat a player that ticks over every week like Payet last season. Even more so since if you have Aguero and Zlatan you are likely to be captaining them so no need to worry about catching the big haul with the armband. Plus an extra million, which is the difference between Amat and Stones or Soaure and Valencia.

    (I took Sanchez out on my wildcard so missed out today but am surprisingly calm about it!)

    Calling occupants - anyone in total disarray?

    WC this week with Walker and Snoddy on board. Feels like a reverse Midas touch for a guy last three seasons sub 7k. 2 million plus as I write.

    Cest la vie. Keep grinding I guess. Test of chatacter.
