Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Man United

Sanchez, because he plays like a streetfighter who always cares. Hazard can go missing for long periods of time (like last season) when he doesn't feel pampered and special enough. I don't like Hazard's psychological unsteadiness. Sanchez has some of the doggedness of a player like Tevez -- always running hard and not taking his millions for granted. I'd buy Sanchez for my real team long before I'd buy Hazard, even though it seems there's some chance Hazard will break a transfer record if he's sold over the summer.

i have to say hazard because he is more succesful trophywise. he has also won the player of the year and should win it again this year.

Sanchez, without debate. His work rate is much better than Eden's, better offensive player and he really showed this season that his playmaking is just as good as his goalscoring. More versatile and 'disappears' much less frequently than Hazard.

Sanchez. He has carried Arsenal all season. Involved in more goals, works hard for the team.

Hazard has hidden away for a good portion of the season and really hasn't been as good as people have made out. I couldn't tell you one standout performance by him all season. Not as highly involved in goals and doesn't work hard enough for the team.

people needs to realise sanches is not a winner. hasnt won anything in england

Interesting arguments indeed

I am a Chelsea fan but I have to say Sanchez on this one..
Both are highly skilled but Alexis is a real fighter and I like his competitive attitude...
I would be over the moon if we sign us...

Has to be Hazard. I disagree with the ones saying Hazard doesn't work hard enough. The title under Mourinho was when he carried Chelsea much like Alexis is carrying Arsenal now. The only difference is he won us the Premier league. Perhaps I'm biased but hey, who isn't? !

I love Alexis as a player myself. I can't ever point a finger at him for the lack of trying. But when on form, Hazard is streets ahead of Alexis. It's not only about scoring or assisting more is it? The way he has evolved his game despite constant change of managers and various tactical inputs from different managers is splendid. Let's also not forget that he is younger, has significantly altered courses of the Premier league and his best is yet to come. Perhaps, Sanchez is at his very peak right now. But Eden is yet to reach it and without getting there's he has done what he has.

Sanchez. He's a team player whereas Hazard has a tendency to go missing at times e.g remember Mourinho berating him for not tracking back in one game.

Sanchez scores more goals than Hazard too which is a slightly important point.

It's a bit like the Ronald/Messi argument. Both top quality footballers but, if I had to pick one to play for Coventry, I'd pick Sanchez (and Ronaldo over Messi). Harder work and less reliance on there being quality around him

im a chelsea fan but i have to say sanchez.... that physics & never give up attitude buy me in... plus i think he's more skillful than hazard...

would love to see him to SB next season..... wouldn't mind losing hazard for that 😀

Alexis has a beast mode and is a winner where he can (2 copa Americas with Chile; God in his country, and to some of us here). I think Eriksen is better than Hazard.

Sanchez is so much better. People aren't talking about him because of his mid-season paddy and the dive from Fuchs' throw in. Other than that, he has been loads better than Hazard this season.

You could argue that Haz is naturally more talented but Sanchez's work ethic makes him the better player.

a by far

Alonso and Anichibe to Azpi and Origi

i mean b!

There's some doubt around Alonso and Hazard because of the FA cup and doubt around Stephens because of rotation. Anichebe has a hamstring injury, so I doubt he'll play. I'd do E) Hazard to someone from Liverpool or Hazard and Alli to Coutinho and Origi.

Not sure about that I think Poch will have all his players motivated.A Kane Hattie would be nice!

youre probably right and lets hope he does

Not so sure Davies isn't motivated to prove his worth in the side. He has performed well and might want to up his worth in Rose's absence.

he wont. he is also in contention of winning the player of the year so he will play

I'm reluctant to sell before he plays the worst team in the league

Yeah it's a major gamble but if he gets even an hour against that Sunderland defence....

'why should he be rested?' If he is, it would be because Conte is cautious before the FA cup final. The league position won't change and playing Hazard will only put him at risk of an injury. In the same situation as Conte, I would play a seconds/youth team. I believe he did this previously with Juvtenus in the last couple of matches of the season and we know from last week that Conte doesn't mind resting players. Mourinho has said he's resting almost everyone and bringing in players who have never played for the senior team before.

stupid to get rid now specially for coutinho

jonty looked horrible

Aye

Asked the same question earlier. Exactly the same points away from top 10k. Maybe 1 but taking a hit for a 2nd one will make the gap 22 and I think that's to big of a jump unless it's a bumper week

18 pts i think too much to chase top 10k in one gw. Need to nail the right differential captain..

fabregas definitely

not a safe pick especially if firmino is back

Not a safe pick at all but I've went for him because
A) straight swap for Gabbi no hits required
B) I have King on bench if Origi doesn't play
C) I think he will play at least part of game and he has a very high points ceiling v that Boro team

23 here. 15 pointer from saints saved the BB.

Counted players I would have actually benched

30 here, my highest bench score all season.
Can't complain.

Caballero 5, Sterling 2, Hazard 5, Holgate 1

Matip (not very cheap though, 5.3m)

mawson (WBA)

That is evident and he is nailed on in my mind as such.

A

I'm actually hoping for 33 from Kane and Eriksen. Would take me to 200 for the GW!

A

B and 2 for me

B2

B 2

And Daniels Huth Holgate on the bench

This is what I meant regarding Sturridge or Origi.A minus 8 for Sturridge is too much in my opinion.Id just do Ayew to Origi if you want Liverpool cover.Hazard and Erik could easily outscore Fabs and Siggy.

Mignolet and Kompany

Goto Gameweek History, below yiu team on mobile or listed.on the right if using full site

stephens and vert probably

Eriksen for me, but tough call. I'm going on Jonty's advice that no away teams score much in GW38 historically

He'll captain Coutinho

5th def is Holgate though (not that it makes a difference)

Fantastic - good luck! 🙂 (biased Kane/Alli/Erik owner here)
