Sunday Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion opens this afternoon, hoping for a similar goal glut witnessed in yesterday’s edition. We’ve two games to pour over, with all four clubs with something to play for. Later we’ll be at White Hart Lane where Tottenham continue to chase Champions League qualification against relegation fighting Blackburn. Before that there’s a West London derby at Stamford Bridge, between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Terry, Cole, Mata, Essien, Lampard, Sturridge, Torres, Kalou.

QPR: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo, Mackie, Barton, Derry, Buzsaky, Cisse, Zamora.

As expected, Roberto Di Matteo has tinkered with his line-up ahead of of a huge night in Munich, but somewhat surprisingly there are still starts for the likes of Juan Mata and Frank Lampard.

The visitors name an attacking line-up, with Djibril Cisse partnering Bobby Zamora up front.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open – with moderators will be on hand to resolve any issues – and can be accessed right here.

      They'll probably win tomorrow and bottle it at Newcastle next week.

          No deal. I'm watching it at a mates house with a rabble of Utd and Arsenal fans. 1 Scouser too, there's always one special needs case.

              Debatable assist rules. But going by real life assist rules he doesn't deserve any more..

                    I didn't watch the game, I don't know, but some were claiming he could get two more, if so I think they're very debatable

                    ive seen them given during this season, he passed to sturridge who scored after trying a pass that came back to him. and he sent torres in for 2nd, qpr defended and keeper messed up and torres notched. hope ta god he gets them but its a bit vague wat the rule is on assists.

          ok a question to all those with McClean and Siggy who are looking to go for one last ride on the Holy train. Which one are you selling, and why?

            not sure what i'm going to do.

            my midfield will be Valencia, Demps, VDV, Pienaar (Siggy).

            where would i fit VM in?

              good point. That's why I asked to those who owned McClean and Siggy, as if you both, chances are you will be forced to play 1 for those last 2 tricky fixtures, so shifting 1 is easy, it's just which one.

            I did own McClean and Siggy, I currently have HBA and Siggy, one of whom probably has to go, Moses or Maloney are very tempting..

            He doesn't have an anti-Wenger agenda, he is complimentary when they do well, less so when they do poorly, and when Wenger makes some funny hand movements which are aped by a whole Stoke stand there's no reason why he shouldn't make a joke - he's an anchorman defusing tension.

            Next you'll be saying that we shouldn't be laughing at this:

            The Stoke fans were out of order booing Ramsey, but aping Wenger is just a bit of a laugh.

          - Never take a hit for a defender... Unless they have a DGW.

          Did any one else watch the spurs game? I had bale.vdb. And walker which makes me v happy. But they should have done alot better. They should have scored 5 or 6 so i wouldnt be gettin carried away thinking they will rip bolton a new one. They should still win but id say 1 or 2 nil max if they play like that again. Blackburn hadnt one shot on goal in the whole game. They are shocking
