GW36 Chip Poll

[sbu_large_image] Dugout Discussion

15 October 2011 1577 comments

Andy

And we’re back in the game.

The Dugout Discussion kicks back into gear with seven Premier League fixtures spreading across a period of more than six hours. We start off slowly with a small tie up at Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester United…

There is a lot of news in the line-up front. Liverpool recall their captain -Steven Gerrard- to make his first start in over six months after recovery from injury as Andy Carroll drops out. The away side pose the real questions as Javier Hernandez, Nani and Wayne Rooney are left on the bench by Alex Ferguson in a bold/foolish (delete as appropriate after the game) move. Line-ups to be digested in full are…

Liverpool XI: Reina; Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Enrique; Lucas, Adam Gerrard, Downing, Kuyt; Suarez
United XI: De Gea; Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Young, Fletcher, Jones, Giggs, Park; Welbeck

Not long after the dust has settled on that almighty introduction we’ll have five three o’clock kick-offs to keep the flow going. Wigan host Bolton with the Scout Selection Committee keeping closes eyes on a certain Victor Moses.

A few more people will be distracted by the Man City line-up as they play host to Aston Villa while Norwich, QPR and Stoke play host to Swansea, Blackburn and Fulham respectively – varied squad “fillers” aplenty in those games to keep track of.

Before the night draws in the Dugout Discussion closes out with Chelsea playing host to an Everton side who have a strong record over recent seasons against their fellow side in blue. Can David Moyes keep up the good streak and spoil the Villas-Boas broth?

Although I own Young it's damage limitation:

No cleansheets
Imagine plenty of people (C) Rooney = 2 points
Suarez didn't score/assist and can't see any BPs going his way.
Nani came on for 1 point

Could be worse.

Silva c and nani and rooney in my side. fml. Lucky to get past 20 pt at this rate. Mind you if silva doesn't play and vc sturridge runs riot it could turn out ok.

If RVP does nothing tomorrow this will be one of the lowest scoring weeks ever for the FFS community.
