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.

        nothing to do all game and then pulls that off. He's top class.

    Can goal there would've been beyond perfect

    Absolutely useless performance from Sturridge

      Didn't get much service to be fair

      They've all been terrible. Formation fail

  6. Kaneyonero

    Sturridge CS banked

    Coutinho already higher than he's been all game 😎

      What's he taken?

    What exactly has Borinoh contributed to football other than killing the enjoyment in big game. So many big games ruined by his negative tactics. The sooner he leaves the game the better

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years

      By that logic West Brom should disband immediately

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

        You won't hear me complaining

    3. BIG TONES

      His presence always adds impetus to big fixtures. His defensive football style maybe symbolizes his era which is currently ending in favour of the pressing style imo

  9. Syd.

    Mike Dean would've give a penalty for that

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Love Mike Dean, reliable for awarding penalties

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

      Mike Dean would give one for a foul on the halfway line

        more from Liverpool since Sturridge has gone off than we've seen all game with him in the team

        Sturridge goes off and suddenly Liverpool look threatening

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

          Funny that, given Sturridge is the best striker to ever live and not remotely over hyped.

      9. It’s gonna Ben Mee

        Why is Lallana not starting? He's beasting it

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Was injured

          1. BIG TONES
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Ah, had no idea. Thank you

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

        The difference is night and day now that Lallana has come on and Firmino is up top

      15. The Big Fella

        So everybody that still has Ibra is selling him as we speak then?

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

          basically... but Costa on 4YC and already have Lukaku/Aguero so tough one...

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I'd go for Costa if I were you. He will only miss one match. I have Aguero and will Diomande. Will sell Ibra for Austin.

      16. Kaneyonero

      17. TheShinKicker
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fellaini can't even win a header against Coutinho on the edge of his own box, what a waste of space
