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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Very mediocre day. Need the Aguero(c) hattrick tomorrow to salvage something.

      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'll have a good week if he blanks or doesn't play 😛

    Lallana or Arnautovic?

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lallana is further back so Arnautovic

    2. TheShinKicker
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lallana

    3. Castiel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Arnautovic for me

    None of my starters has scored a goal and all of my players have played. The only one who has scored a goal is McAuley(second of my bench) who destroyed my Clyne clean sheet. On the plus side, four of my five midfielders have kept a clean sheet.

    1. KDF
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      same as me, 1st bench is Dann so effectively McCauley was 1st.
      Only saving grace is Sergio still to play and clean sheets all round

  4. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Just when I thought Lovren would keep a cleansheet! 😆

    At least Firmino/Mane got me 17 pts

    1. dudload
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Saved header was gutting too. Massive potential swing there, especially as I have Coutinho too

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yup. I literally lost 6 pts when Liverpool conceded since I have two of their midfielders.

    2. Flynniesta
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      The most frustrating thing about Lovren losing his clean sheet was that I brought him in for McAuley 🙁

    34 with sterling and kun to play. And not a bap for any of my players.

      Yeah same player same points but I got a hit coming.

    Choice to bring in grant for jaku or a defender for one of Collins / mcauley
    Decision lovren for mcauley and played foster
    So played Collins and lovren with Amat second sub and Francis third sub
    Collins and Amat don't play so Francis off bench
    If had brought grant in and played I would have had Francis second McCauley third.
    I have no idea if I am better off 🙂

    Just getting out of Anfield now traffic is a pain in the a**e absolute nervy 30 minutes till the end but glad we beat Pulisball alao Mane getting the points in for me that's another positive

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Great performance for 80 minutes. Surprised we scored two against their bus but what goals!

        Could easily net v Pool next week. Had one cleared off the line today I believe.

  9. Tronity
    • 10 Years

    2FTs...
    Williams and Antonio > Vertonghen and Shaqiri?

    There is no way people can be getting good scores regularly with such random outcomes

    1. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs CS
      Arsenal CS
      Payet assist
      Liverpool mids
      Trollkaku
      Hull and Sunderland lose

      There is some normality there

  12. John t penguin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Does anyone else also find their keeper always finishes one save below another point all the time

  13. Albrightondknight

    Want to do Sterling KDB this week. KDB rise last night and Sterlibg will fall tonight. Make a .2 swing .1 and do it? I usual do early transfer and have been lucky makes rest of the week boring though.

  14. camarozz

    At least a few in my MLS wasted their chips. Always a bonus.

  15. Ravager

    Foster (Japu)
    Walker Mustafi Williams (Kelly Amat)
    Sanchez Firmino Antonio Allen (Fletcher)
    Aguero Deeney Lukaku

    1 FT 1.2 ITB.

    Use my free for Japu > Grant?

    So as a non-Aguero captainer, but owner, am I hoping for goals tomorrow or a blank... Ranked 670,000 ....:/

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      goals

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years

        If it's not too much trouble, what should I be hoping for TM? 40k atm

          ?

          1. BB-8
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I meant, should I be hoping for goals or a blank from Kun? Own but not captained. Ranked 40k

            1. TorresMagic™

              • 14 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Really depends on your ML rivals. If you only care about rank than goals for sure.

              1. BB-8
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Not too worried about ML this early. Cheers TM 🙂

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      plenty captained him......so im happy with a single goal

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Plenty don't own him.

        1. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Current OR number 1 for starters 🙂

  18. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years

    williams and tekkers to pieters n austin?

  19. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio and Snodgrass to Lallana and Shaqiri sound good for 2 FT?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lallana is settling for second best imo. You want one, two or even all of the front three.

  20. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Grant
    Coleman / Walker / Holebas
    Sanchez / Walcott / Firmino / Sterling
    Aguero / Lukaku / Deeney
    (Pickford / Amat / Fletcher / Robertson)

    A) Coleman -> Smith
    B) Sterling -> Cout or Lallana
    C) Both A & B for a hit
    D) any other suggestion

  21. Speédy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    investing big on defence worked,had cech,kos,vertonghen,fuchs as the four starters

  22. St. Joseph
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Cech (Jaku)
    Walker Smith Williams* (Amat*, Love*)
    Sanchez Coutinho Snoddy* Capoue* Fletcher
    Kun Costa Lukaku

    0.8 itb
    * are players i want to get rid
    Which one is priority for the next gameweek

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Snoddy out first....

      1. St. Joseph
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Out for who?

        A) shaq
        B) josh king
        C) ?

        Any other idea?

  23. Le _ Professeur
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio ► Sterling or Mane ? .. I won't do it till I see what happens tomorrow but I just want to know what you guys think 🙂

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I own Aguero and Firmino by the way

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I own Mane but im going sideways to Firmino due to consistency. On that basis advise you to get Sterling

      1. Le _ Professeur
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers 🙂

  24. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    75% of the top 10k have played their captain today.
    Presumably a lot of thise are Walcott and Sanchez.

    A big Aguero (C) or Ibra (C) haul could move you up the rankings this GW.

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm counting on it 🙂

      1. PlayPercentage
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        56% of "casuals" have not played their captain, yet.
        So still a lot of Kun(C) out there still to play.

  25. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    The hardest question of all time:

    Will you start Capoue against Hull at home?

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No...his run of goals was a freak occurance

    2. Clump
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'd start Long John Silver against Hull at the moment.

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Right? He has to get something from the game.

        1. Clump
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Not necessarily, but I expect Hull to lose.

  26. SuperMario
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What's the points count looking like for the averages after baps?

    Praying the last minute switch of captain from Sanchez to Sergio works out

    1. PlayPercentage
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      37 (top 10k)
      30 (others)

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
