Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Man United

Gameweek 8 comes to its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Man United to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s in-form outfit seek a fifth successive win in the top-flight and could even climb to the summit if they register a victory by a margin of four or more goals.

That’s perhaps unlikely yet, having netted nine times in two matches in front of their own supporters, the Reds will be in buoyant mood tonight.

The likes of Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane will be keenly monitored by Fantasy managers as the Merseysiders prepare for a superb upcoming run of fixtures.

For United, the form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the main point of concern around these parts.

The big Swede has a single goal in five appearances and has already earned more transfers out than any other forward in the Gameweek.

Another blank and the exodus will surely pick up pace, given that Jose Mourinho then takes his side to former club Chelsea next Sunday – the Blues have chalked up back-to-back shut-outs since the switch to 3-4-3.

    Pretty happy with the result, as having no players today 🙂 Could've done with a Can goal to null the ManU defense points, though

      I feel he's been robbed of the 3 baps though. He deserves them for that tackle alone.

      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      1) Is it time to sell Shaw?
      2) Is it time to sell Capoue?
      3) Is Foster > Pickford a good transfer?
      4) Good idea to double up on Walcott and Sanchez?

      any help appreciated
