Sunday Dugout Discussion

The second day of the 2011/12 Premier League season sees two of the main title contenders in action. The new Chelsea boss, Andre Villas-Boas, has a tough first competitive assignment at the Britannia Stadium, to take on Tony Pulis’ Stoke City. Following that, the reigning Champions Manchester United are also on the road, with The Baggies waiting for them at The Hawthorns.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business as usual, so come in, take a seat and hope we see an improvement on yesterday’s events (both before and during the games)…

News from the Britannia has filtered through, and there’s a debut for Stoke City centre-back Jonathan Woodgate. He plays in a 4-4-2 that sees Jon Walters partner Kenwyne Jones up front.

For the visitors, Fernando Torres is passed fit and plays at the expense of Didier Drogba. The Spaniard is flanked by Florent Malouda and Salomon Kalou.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

    Outrageous dive from Lampard in the penalty situation. Shame on you Frank!

    Does anyone use totalfpl for looking at player price changes? That was probably a silly question, but more importantly are totalfpl's price change stats going to be slow and useless if the info on the FPL site isn't getting updated properly? Hopefully just a short term problem...

        No I know him, he took the time at some point this summer and didn't fuss with it anymore. Definitely out of the loop on several major teams. The kind I like to see in first place in mini-leagues after weeks like this.

          I did not expect Newcastle to be as organized an aggressive in their defensive third. He's capable, but in general they played with a chip on their shoulder. Couldn't have picked a better week 1 opponent imho.

          Yeah, I like him and Gueye. They are more along the line of people that can make things happen. The rest of them (Cahill, Beckford) they try a lot but don't ever seem to pull it off with consistency. Those are my two.
