Sunday’s Dugout Discussion

7 November 2010 2144 comments

Akers

Three games today to polish off gameweek 11, and if today is anything like yesterday, then good riddance as far as I’m concerned. Having said that, the six teams on show today have considerable investment around these parts, so perhaps a healthier score is a possibility.

First up is Newcastle United’s trip down to the Emirates to face Arsenal. To the relief of many a fantasy manager, The Gunner’s captain fantastic Cesc Fabregas is named in the starting line-up. Theo Walcott also starts at the expense of the Russian maestro Andrei Arshavin, who has some very interesting company on the pine, as Robin van Persie is named amongst the substitutes.

A positive line-up for The Toon, sees Shola Ameobi and Andy Carroll remain up front together after their prolific partnership in last week’s derby.

Here are the line-ups in full, and I’ve included the substitutes as that is arguably where the headline news is…

Arsenal XI: Fabianski, Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Fabregas, Walcott, Chamakh, Nasri
Subs: Szczesny, Rosicky, van Persie, Djourou, Arshavin, Eboue, Bendtner
Newcastle XI: Krul, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Jose Enrique, Barton, Tiote, Nolan, Gutierrez, Carroll, Ameobi
Subs: Soderberg, Campbell, Routledge, Lovenkrands, Smith, Steven Taylor, Ranger

Straight after that we go to Anfield to see Liverpool take on champions Chelsea at 4pm. Also, in the midst of those two games, West Brom host Man City at 3pm.

All today’s goings on can and will be discussed in the aptly-named Dugout Discussion. Enjoy.

Worst half of football in the past season and a half. Although fair play to Liverpool, they seem to come to terms with the fact that they aren't a big club anymore, and aren't making any effort to dominate, rather playing on the counter attack like an away side.

I don't care how ill Drogba is, he simply has to come on in the second half, hopefully for Kalou who has lost the ball every time he's got it.

Likewise with McEachran, I don't care how young and inexperienced he is, we need someone in the midfield who is actually capable of keeping possession but Zhirkov and Ramires simply cannot.

Malouda has looked by far the best Chelsea player, and I'd like to see him drop into the midfield trio with Zhirkov possibly playing on the left wing. We need some genuine pace to stretch the game and the Liverpool defence.

  Alex is so over rated by you young man. You know my thoughts on Terry already
  
  As I said last week Konchesky only gets cleansheets when I sell him.

    The defence isn't the problem at all... Two goals that pretty much came out of nothing, although Terry was at fault for the first goal.
    
    The problem is consistently giving the ball away in the middle of the pitch. But then again, I'd expect nothing less from a midfield trio of Ramires, Zhirkov and Mikel.
    
    When we lose this, people will kick up a fuss, but we are missing three players who are widely considered to be our best three.

      Yes I agree you midfield isnt upto it today. But your defence is woeful too.
      
      Alex and Terry have been bullied and outpaced constantly.
      Your front 3 are also inept.
