Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs West Bromwich Albion

A hugely frustating Saturday comes to its conclusion as Liverpool entertain West Bromwich Albion at Anfield.

The Reds’ run of four straight wins was halted by a dogged Man United display on Monday evening, though on the positive side, Jurgen Klopp’s side chalked up a first clean sheet of the season ahead of some very kind looking fixtures.

Bearing in mind that the Baggies have a single clean sheet in seven, owners of the likes of Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana will be optimistic of returns tonight. The latter returns to the starting line-up in Jurgen Klopp’s only change from the side that were frustrated by the Red Devils.

Four goals and two assists in five appearances makes Nacer Chadli the visitors’ danger man, whilst Ben Foster owners will be expecting a save point or two at least as he looks to repel the Reds’ attack.

    Shifted Zaha out this week for Bolasie. I can see me getting him back at some point....he still looks good. Has anybody else noticed that he seems to have bulked up a bit over the summer. ?

    Is Wally + Allen to firmino + Shaqiri a decent move or pretty sideway-ish? I just feel that Walcott has remembered his inconsistency. Already have Sanchez and Coutino.

    Thoughts?

      Decent

    Watching MOTD, Lukaku inches away from 2 goals already

    What happened to Snodgrass? when'd he get injured and did it look bad? i was willing to stick by him through hull's bad form but his yellow status is pushing me over the edge 🙂

      thinking of keeping him for the bantz

    Well the Watford defensive double up worked a treat this week, do I dare another week vs Hull?

    Has anybody mentioned the G word yet for Arsenal ?...Wenger confirming he will be ready for midweek and Arsenal looking toothless today.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 6 months ago

      Will be good for Sanchez when Giroud returns

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I suspect so. His stats are actually falling playing as a striker.

    What's the best Liverpool Double up? Currently have Firmino + *****

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      in a vacuum? Mane>Coutinho>Lallana>Milner

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        and yes.. that works as "greater than" and as a rotation carousel

      2. Jacket Potato
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Nope.
        Mane's a little to pricey, Coutinho it is thanks

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          hence a vacuum.. ie independant of price. Coutinho looks like fantastic value under Klopp

    2. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mane and Coutinho if you can afford...

  9. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hmmmmm...another week in the late thirties...

    Anyone a suggestion for this team?
    Heaton/Jaku
    Smith, Coleman, Mustafi, Walker, Amat
    Walcott Sanchez Firmino Capoue Allen
    Deeney Kun Lukaku

    Looked at Deeney / Coleman out this week...

    Best use of Ft given CS, Goal threat/Assist potential: thnx
    already have Grant - holebas - mcauley
    thinking 1,3, althou 5 is food value on fixtures

    1 Baines > Clyne (cry - WAT - sou - SUN - bou)
    2 Baines > Vertongen (bou - LEI - ars - WHU - che - SWA)
    3 Baines > Smith (mid - SUN - stk - ars - LIV)
    4 Evans > Pieters (SWA - whu - BOU - wat - BUR)
    5 Evans > Francis (mid - SUN - stk - ars - LIV)

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      All look good...3 for me

      1. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        because of fixtures right? clyne has cry and WAT not as easy cs like mid-SUN

        you think Smith warrants the premium over francis?

  11. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Austin or Wilson?

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Austin on the radar for me...

    Time to sell A. Williams? Stoke defence seems to tighten up.

    Few Questions:

    1. Did Antonio play in defensive or an attacking role
    2. Is Shaqiri worth getting over Arnautovic

    Thanks

    Time to take Coutinho seriously ? For most ffs users he's considered as a casual pick.

    But this season his end product has been much better and looks a great pick imo.

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes...would have him myself but have Firmino atm...too sideways a move for me.

      1. E25
        • 8 Years

        Double up?

  18. brianutd-why always we? 20
