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.

    Best def combo:
    rest of def: Grant / Holebas - Evans - Amat

    1 Clyne + Jagielka/Smith
    2 Mustafi + Smith
    3 Vertonghen + Jagielka/Smith

    Liverpool struggling to get going

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      Indeed

  5. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years

    Looking like 0-0 so

  6. NATSTER

    Liverpool are missing Lallana.

    So far, Emre Can cannot replace him.

  7. Syd.

    Liverpool can't string 2 passes together

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I refer you to SW6 post above

    Sturridge ruins this Liverpool side under Klopp

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      This!

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I bet he's regretting starting him already.

      True this

    Guys, bit of advice on the following please?

    Foster - Jaku

    Valencia - Pieters - Williams - Kosc - Amat

    Sanchez - Sterling - Snodgrass - Capoue - Coutinho

    Lukaku - Aguero - Deeney

    0.7 itb.

    Thinking of doing Capoue -> Allen, Deeney -> Costa & Sanchez -> Walcott leaving me with 0.9 itb. Could also do the same but with Snodgrass -> Allen leaving me with 1.7itb for upgrades elsewhere. 1 free transfer.

    Thoughts please??

    Pizza ready, highlight so far.

    1. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not the woman that knocked on your door?

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You should line up 11 pepperoni's on one side of the pizza and 11 olives on the other side and pretend it's Liverpool vs Utd. Will probably be a better watch

      1. Dacra
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Olives would ruin the pizza though..

        1. Pochecinno
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Olives are essential on any pizza

    3. Kiwivillan

      Some woman knocked at some guys door about guide dogs. Other than that nothing

    I think firmino has given the ball away with every pass he has made so far

    Herrera, what a player. So delighted he's nailed now

      Agreed mate.Dont know why he didn't start the season with him after his performances preseason games.

    This is poor

    Van gaal football

    1. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years

      Well, Mourinho is a disciple

  20. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years

    EmreCan trying a Pogba

  21. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    All this high pressing talk and Liverpool are having to slow the pace down to get control.

  22. Royal5

    7 years, 7 months ago

    This game needs a goal. Then it will open up.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not if United get it

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        True

  23. Ziro
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Need United to concede. Ownership of United defence is about a zillion percent.

  24. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Studge to come off for Lallana so Firmino can score his brace

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      That's not how it works, Coutinho would benefit more than Firmino

  25. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What this game needs is 2 red cards

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra and Fellaini red will do

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Firmino and Zlatan

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Coutinho pls

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra and Firmino

  26. PaoloRabbiiiii

    Valencia on for 3 bonus 😀

    This ref needs to get his dodgy decisions in early. At least there'll be something to talk about at HT.

    Where will Sturidge be plying his trade this time next year, Newcastle?

    1. SW6
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      West Ham

  30. SW6

    Well if this isn't going to be a high quality game can they at least start kicking each other and getting sent off?
