Dugout Discussion – Watford vs Arsenal

in all those games, they didn't have their best team out

He's gone for me

Worth capping away though so worth keeping at the mo

I agree. And 4 games is a good enough sample size. I'm too chicken to get rid though

I think I'll captain him next week.
Liverpool wont park a bus away like Swansea and Bournemouth
That's more the issue than Wembley I think

Look at my thoughts on this below 🙂

Over the next four, maybe not. The problem is when you want him back in.

He is. Capt Lukaku or City in home weeks.

After CL im selling for kun

Unlike his other PL games at home, he was very tame today. Spurs as a whole found it hard to create chances against a dogged Bou side.

In all those games they dominated and he had a lot of chances. Just variance that he didn't score.

This is as laughable as the dembele theory. Go ahead and sell. One less person for me to worry about against in the overall rankings.

are there any theories out there trying to explain why this is? i reckon it's just an anomaly. he'll come good at home

HT? Love it when the sheep get rid of Kane. That's when he begins to haul. Which is the point. He is fixture-proof. Of course he's going to go through games when he blanks. Even Messi and Ronaldo don't score every game.

Unless Kane is injured he is set and forget. Marathon not sprint etc etc.

Who would you sell for? Kun & Jesus are rotation risks so not sure you could be any more confident captaining one of them (assuming you don't have one of them already). Lukaku can underperform too (last 2 GWs, including CPL when he seemed like a TC candidate) and isn't as explosive as Kane. Morata is an injury doubt, and Lacazette is just a poor FPL player for the price.

Oh a HT about an individual player. Nice to see that these are allowed now. Hulk the things people are talking about rather than the things you want people to talk about. Nice work

I'm keeping for now but more because with the injuries to Aguero and Morata I don't see other decent options up front (also have Lukaku and Jesus).

But his form is a huge worry and I can't believe people are ignoring it. The number of big chances he's had at home all season - ONE - is absolutely pathetic. It also shows that we can't expect him to suddenly start banging them in at home until Tottenham start giving him the chances.

Remind me how many goals he has scored this season?

Question for you: does it matter where he scores the goals?

Kane will score close to 300 points this season so I am more than happy for you to sell him.

This could be confirmation bias but I think this type of game makes Kane a better option this week. People will get rid because, on paper, Liverpool are a better team than those Spurs have faced at home in the league (with the exception of Chelsea). Liverpool provide a similar challenge to that of Dortmund and look what he did against them. Should be a very different game to what they've faced at home in the league so far.

Exactly my view

not just that. They haven't had their best team and formation out in their home games, Son doesn't help their team. I'm keeping as long as Davies and Dembele are declared ready for action

I'll gamble on Kane (c) next week

agreed and I think it's between Kane and Jesus for me for captain next week. Given risk to minutes for Jesus it might have to be Kane.

They seem to have less intensity at Wembley, at WHL they would pummel teams, it don't feel the same.

I was all set to lose Eriksen as think Kane and Eriksen (not selling Davies) could be too much but they still score points regardless of how Spurs look.

After the last couple of years, if any team deserves patience, it's them.

Liverpool only conceded 1 at anfield in the pl this season no way I'm captaining Kane next week

I think Spurs really missed Davies, he offers a lot from wing back in terms of their attack.

Aswell as that though, as you say teams are coming to Wembley to defend. And its working, which only makes more teams determined to play that way against them. Liverpool are an attacking side, but as we saw tody they weren't overcommitting against utd as they were fearful of the counter. Its perfectly conceivable they could defend with 7 players, and leave salah, firmino and coutinho further up the pitch to counter attack at pace. We could see another stodgy 0-0 if both teams are overcautious of the counter.

People are getting rid of Kane?

What idiots. Pointless hulk.

Its most difficult stadium in world in park bus at. Its not a small stadium like britannia/white hart lane. It would have been more easy to park the bus last season as ground was smaller. It is basically to do with english teams think of wembley as the holy stadium and bring their A game

You were totally on point mate!
