Sunday’s Dugout Discussion

A game being billed as the most important Merseyside derby in years kicks off a double bill of Sunday afternoon fixtures. NESV-owned Liverpool travel up the road to city rivals Everton, with both sides looking for only their second win of the campaign.

Everton will already be confident of inflicting defeat on their arch-rivals for the first time in the league for over four years, but that confidence will be bolstered with the team news. Jamie Carragher fills in at right-back for the injured Glen Johnson, Steven Gerrard partners Lucas Leiva in defensive midfield and Phil Jagielka passes a late fitness test to play…

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Heitinga, Arteta, Osman, Cahill, Yakubu

Liverpool XI: Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Konchesky, Gerrard, Lucas, Meireles, Cole, Maxi, Torres

The final game of the day sees Manchester City visit Bloomfield Road, with most fantasy-managers praying for contrasting returns for a certain Argentinian. That game kicks off at 4pm.

The Dugout Discussion is open as usual and is awaiting your participation.

          If tevez does nothing I'm out.

    Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson: "I don't think he (Torres) is physically unfit. We don't have any injury problems with him. He got battered for his performances at the World Cup and mentally he is a bit low. He needs a goal to get his confidence back. I have no qualms with his performance against Everton. I don't feel it to be a crisis because the way we have played today I don't think anyone would believe that is the type of football of a team in the bottom three. I think we can consider ourselves unlucky."

              Well we're hoping against hope ... don't write off Carlton Cole - he has been brilliant for the first five games - the hardest worker on our team - but he was surrounded by dross, Noble and Parker aside ...

                I too am an Iron and would recommend Piquionne over Obinna. Definitely more goals in him. Obinna plays just off the front man and cannot shoot. Don't know how you think Cole was brilliant for the first five games mate. He really has been at an all time low imo this season (saying a lot) and rumor has it his knees are knackered- some even say that's the real reason he didn't go to Liverpool, a failed medical.

                  Of course he didn't do the business, but imo he was shoring up what was a dreadful team having a ghastly start, both at the front and at the rear. He was doing the job of two men ...

                  He has got dodgy knees, that's true, and the manager has had to try something else - so we'll see as the season progresses.

              I would agree that he's better than he was at utd, mainly because he's been given a chance.

          Tevez hasnt changed - all that has changed is your perception of him.

          Tinted glasses and all.

        Does any one have a 11:30 transfer on their history?
        I thought the latest you could do was 11:29,but my history shows a 11.30 transfer for this week :O

        The transfer in itself was not the best,but am trying to see the half full glass 😀

        Terrible from Tevez. Simple pass to give Adebayor a tap in and underplays it.

        Captain fail.
