The ScoutCast – Episode 229 – Comeback

Can you call it a comeback? Avid listeners – and there are some, honest – will certainly hope that Granville’s return to ScoutCast action will be repeated.

For now, we just have to savour him gatecrashing our early season party, armed with a very reasonable Gameweek 1 tally.

Granville joins myself, Jonty, Andy and Az in a five-aside episode for the post-mortem of the opening weekend.

Once again we embrace your community questions, going in studs showing on all the key issues, as we assess the Zaha replacements and strap our knees to the desk to discuss De Bruyne and Kane.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          Thanks guys, appreciate all the responses. I was fairly confident on keeping brunt in there for all of his set piece work against Burnley, but maybe you guys are right. JWP always seems boom or bust to me though and I don't know if Southampton will be a high scoring team this year.

      Stephens is maybe a safer bet but JWP's stats from the Swansea game are seriously impressive. He has the higher ceiling I think.

    These boards are dissolving into a bunch of people trying to call another user out for various reasons. Can I please point out that

    1. It's not original
    2. It's not going to have any effect because:
    3. He's only posting this stuff to get a reaction which is making it:
    4. Really, really boring for the rest of us. When a given page is dominated by this complete nonsense it's a real turn-off for those (increasing few) of us who are looking for useful FF information, sensible debate or actually entertaining chat.

    Could we please just stop? Then he will.

      I don't play the Sun game but it could be because they assumed his earlier sub last gw was due to injury but there's been no confirmation of that at all.

      I think he's sub was more a result of a very limited preseason and his manager being cautious as not to over cook him. He was also probably feeling the effects of a limited preseason himself.

      I've got him and will be starting him unless I hear otherwise.

            Didn't say they had a bad defence. I said they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their two games this season and are missing important players at the back. Stop acting like a child when someone disagrees with you

          Conte is one of the best managers out there to get a reaction out of his players. They had a terrible game but it was also affected by an early red card. Plus it is a london derby. All problems fade away in the size of the occasion. Form doesn't matter much in these matches. You can never predict the result.

          I think Kane (c) could work as he always does well in derbies. If that is why you are picking him then go for it but not just because you came to the conclusion Chelsea cannot defend.

    Klopp seems very unsettled with Liverpool board, he apparently didn't want Robertson, because he didn't want a marauding full back he wanted more of a defender, this is why he is starting Moreno as he feels he is better at going forward than Robertson and is a a finger up to the board!
    He also apparently gave the board an ultimatum at start of the season that if Coutinho goes he will walk because he's a massive part of his project and the board said he will not be sold!
    Do we think Klopp will last much longer or do we think he is getting to the end of his tether personally I think he will be the first pl manager to leave his post

    Really interested in the Spurs vs Chelsea game this weekend and particularly how Chelsea react.

    So many unknown's, as a betting man I wouldn't bother either way...

    My questions and for FPL...

    1) Morata - Is he a valid option, goal and assist in 31 minutes
    2) Were Chelsea that bad, or ten men early on messed everything up?
    3) Were Burnley actually quite good? All this talk about Spurs Vs Burnley GW3 and wanting Kane, maybe Burnley aren't the pushover's they've been in the past. The late two goals were concerning though.
    4) Spurs, Wembley?
    5) Kane, August?
    6) Alli, to continue from last year against Chelsea.

    I just about fancy Spurs to edge this one if I had to call it, I think their 11 are much more settled but think it'll be tight. Reckon it'll be crap for FPL too.

      Chelsea were bad for most of the game, but they turned up the heat in the last 20minutes or so. Burnley were organised and solid defensively. Morata looked really good when he came on, I think he should start the next game.
