Sunday Dugout Discussion

Two more Premier League fixtures this afternoon to keep the gameweek ticking along. The Dugout Discussion opens up for Everton’s fixture at home to Stoke City…

The home side make a single change from last weekend’s victory at Bolton with Louis Saha dropping out completely and Apostolos Vellios taking his place. The Potters, meanwhile, bring in Jonathan Woodgate, Ryan Shotton and Dean Whitehead in three changes to last weekend’s outfit. Teams in full are…

Everton XI: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Baines, Hibbert, Heitinga, Osman, Fellaini, Bilyaletdinov, Cahill, Vellios

Stoke XI: Sorensen, Huth, Shawcross, Woodgate, Wilson, Shotton, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington, Walters, Crouch

We’ll then move on to the only televised fixture of the day as Wolves play host to a Sunderland side looking to impress Martin O’Neill before he takes the reins. A game I can’t bear to watch having brought in Jamie O’Hara and made the laughably rookie mistake of then forgetting to start him.

Two sides with plenty to fight for after an equally poor last couple of months. The Dugout Discussion remains throughout.

      Same, although I have the powerhouse Leon Barnett coming on for.....0 points.

      Could have been worse I almost had Joe Allen coming on for ........ -1 points.

        Even worse, over the international break where I WC'd I brought in Bale at 7.9, made a quick profit from the price rises, and sold him for Lamps - that's really paid off 😛

    Which would you do:

    A. Ramsey or VDV to Bale or Nani?
    B. Hall (never plays) to Jones?
    C. Kompany to Jones?

          I like the first one. But if you're in the mood to gamble, the second one...but it's risky cos Nani might be the first one to be rested against Wolves IMO. Might as well keep faith with Rafa.

            For Nani.. Why should he be rested? They have many injured players now. I will wait to see midweek game of United in UCL and see how SAF fields his team before making decision.
