Saturday Dugout Discussion

Morning has been and gone and the minds eye of Fantasy Managers quickly changes from “What do I do?” to “How have I done?” as the Dugout Discussion settles in for a full day of footballing action…

Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures split evenly with 5-a-piece so we should have precisely half of the excitement in store. A closer looks makes it seem like our upcoming schedule got the hard end of the bargain as most of the “glamour ties” are saved for tomorrow. Nonetheless, today’s action kicks off with Wolves playing host to Swansea.

Once we ride out the Midlanders (five defeats in a row) versus the Welsh (four defeats in four away games with 12 goals conceded) we’ll take in a trio of three o’clock fixtures as Aston Villa, Bolton and Newcastle play host to West Brom, Sunderland and Wigan respectively.

Liverpool get the spotlight and sunset of the day as they welcome Paul Lambert’s Norwich to Anfield. All eyes will be on a certain Luis Suarez – more than a few captain’s armbands will be reliant on this “enigmatic”Uruguayan. If you fancy an added game, why not play “spot the Scout” as myself and Big Dunc take in the occasion in person. He’ll be the guy in the Liverpool stand trying not to cheer if Norwich take the lead.

The Dugout Discussion, as per usual, will keep chugging along through every kick of the ball.

    No assist for Enrique I believe, his pass took a touch from a defender outside the box

      "If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal."

      It has to do more than just take a touch off a defender outside the penalty area. The intended destination needs to be altered by that touch.

      What's frustrating is I'm fairly sure there'll be a couple of weeks where he explodes and gets a bigs hauls, but he isn't yet getting consistent points.

      He's already the most frustrating player this season. Those who have him will watch have 10 opportunities and score once. Those who don't will be watching how good he is and hoping he doesn't net a hat-trick every game.

    On a positive note it means Norich will have to come out attacking, this'll hopefully leave a few more gaps in their defence for Surarez to exploit.

      they won't come out attacking. Their aim will be to keep it tight until closer to the end of the game and then go for it (hopefully after suarez gets subbed off ;))

    Suarez is playing well, but been unlucky so far. It would be fatal to get rid of him this week when he's got WB and Swansea next.
