Monday Dugout Discussion

So Sam Allardyce was sacked? That’s odd. Onto bigger and better things undoubtedly for all; and to cheer us up from this solemn news is none other than a top of the table clash between Manchester United and Arsenal. Perfect Monday evening entertainment.

United revert to their 451/433 formation which has been a success in recent games against Arsenal, five goals in his most recent game isn’t enough for Berbatov to convince Fergie to alter his tactics. Everyone’s favourite tongue teaser Wojciech Szczesny starts in goal for Arsenal as his compatriot Lukas Fabianski fails to pass muster, Cesc Fabregas is only good enough for a place on the bench. Teams in full are…

United XI: Van Der Sar; Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson; Nani, Rooney, Park

Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Clichy; Song, Wilshere; Nasri, Rosicky, Arshavin; Chamakh

Whether you are a red or a red, or a neutral, the Dugout Discussion will be open for the evening to take in this battle in full flow.

    How come when Nani got a game winning goal early in the season he got bob all while playing great. While tonight he misplaced passes and should've scored and got 1 bp! It's so frustrating!

      Yeh - I agree - but for all the misplaced passes he didn't half put the shi*s up Clichy all night.

    Would have turned my GW around if Rooney hadnt tried to be so fancy.
    would be on 9 points with him and 7 with nani.

    Man of the Match: Nemanja Vidic The Serbian nullified Arsenal's main attacking threat and prevented the Moroccan from tucking home a shot in the first half. His robust presence at the back helped keep Arsenal's attack quiet throughout.

    well, evra and vidic and even ferdinand were great today, and the fact that morgan freeman got a fcuking bonus over the two of them is sickening, and demonstrates once again that by taking this game seriously we are delluding ourselves. The monkeys in the tower are laughing a us- The grief they cause us with the rubbish bonus points.

    REmember Brad pitt in FIght club, pissing in rich asshole's soup? THats exactly what theyre doing, and id say they all get on their iphones on the pumpkin home and laugh their arses off at the hassle and moans they're causing.

    Thats why there's no transparancy, thats why the bonus points are a joke.

    Cos we're the joke.

    I am for once am agreeing with the bonus pts, nani was a nuisance helped by clichy woeful display. park had to get the max for scorning, wasnt an easy header and song kept to down to 1-0

      I shouldn't waste my time on this, but I want to note a few things.

      Firstly, Song was not awful defensively imo but very wasteful on the ball, which is just not good enough in today's game. He put Clichy and his other team mates into horrible situations several times, and also made more than one late tackle.

      Secondly, I don't think you should get max bonus points for scoring the winner. Park has already been awarded 5 points for his goal - which was great - but he offered little else and lost the ball plenty of times.
