Monday Dugout Discussion

Craven Cottage is the venue, as Fulham versus Liverpool wraps up Gameweek 14 on a bitterly cold Monday night. Braving the unpleasant conditions outside, the Dugout Discussion is open once more. Martin Jol and Kenny Dalglish have handed their team sheets in, and this is how the sides line-up tonight…

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Kelly, Senderos, Hangeland, JA Riise, Murphy, Etuhu, Dempsey, Ruiz, Zamora, Dembele.

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Henderson, Adam, Spearing, Bellamy, Carroll, Suarez.

The hosts make one change to the side that drew at the Emirates, as Steven Kelly comes in for Chris Baird at right-back.

As for the visitors, the devastating injury to their star defensive-midfielder Lucas, means that Jay Spearing comes in as his replacement. Elsewhere, Andy Carroll partners Luis Suarez up-front, and surprisingly there’s no reward in the form of a starting berth for Maxi Rodriguez, who’s enjoying somewhat of a purple patch at the moment.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom can be found by clicking here, so come in and follow all the action as it unfolds.

      has to be BA.
      with spare cash look to upgrade midfield. adams (liv) and young(manu) (the forgotten men) are good buys at 8.8 and 9.8. young is set to take more central attack roll at manu and has good run of games. with scout him tonight in champions.

    Anyone care to predict how many of these games Silva will be rested for over the Christmas period;
    18th December: Arsenal (H) - surely gonna start against Arsenal, yes?
    21st December: Stoke (H) - this is the game I see him being rested for.
    26th December: WBA (A) - will have an 8 day rest, has started every away game.
    1st January: Sun (A) - again, very important in away games for them it seems, but has Liverpool (H) 2 days later..
    So in all, I think he will start 4/5 and be taken off early at Sunderland.
    Anyone else have predictions or agree with me etc?
    I don't want to carry 2 big hitting rotation risks over Christmas (VDV possibly being the other)

      Yeah I think your predictions won't be far wrong.

      That's why I'm half-considering Yaya at the moment who is likely to play the lot. Keeps accumulating the points too.

        But, say Silva does start 4/5 games.
        His points per start = 7.08 which would give you 28 points over the 5 games
        Yaya's is 4.42, giving you 22 over the 5 games.
        Obviously this is just based on averages, but you get the point 🙂

          Yeah, but you've got an extra £2.5-3m in the bank so it depends where you're using that.

          If that's the difference between Jagielka and Vidic, I'd expect to make up the short fall.

        Has he done it before? I know he played alot early one.
        After that he has a 10 or so day break, but maybe Stoke + Sunderland games rested..
        Tough decision as I got him in at 9.5 and can't find a decent replacement..

            Probably wouldn't make sense to get him in now of course, but considering i'd lose 0.5 on the transfer it seems logical to keep.
            You reckon Mata will be rotated much?

      Never bought into the whole Drenthe thing, flakey and so is the managers team news...

      Don't know how much bunce you've got? VDV/Drenthe/Hoillet for Bale/Yaya/Sturridge? Anelka on his way, pleny of starts and a top six striker who scores goals can't be ignored at the price IMO.

          Perhaps, but VDV is becoming too much of a liability (and an expensive one at that). The prospect of Nani being moved in to a forward role with their run of games seems too good to ignore (had it not been for Chico's injury I would have chosen Mata ahead of Nani though).

              I'm not just talking about this season, he was in and out with injuries last season too, It's been some weeks now since VDV put in a good shift and 10m is too much to have a player sitting on the bench or putting in 15 mins for 1 pt. If he hits form again then I buy him back....simples

                  I'm aware of that Jack, but the difference is I've had Silva in from the start (when he cost 9.5). At 10.5 he's gotta be a season keeper for me now.

        Lennon's played just 6 games.. you can rotate yaya/Ramires in the tough games and play them in home games and expect points.. the way m.city and chelsea dominate small teams means both ramires and yaya should get points in those fixutres... i'd rather rotate one of em with walters/larsson than play walters/larsson every week and expect points.. to each his own i guess..

    Studge/Helg won't score.
    VDV is always a doubt and it's Stoke after all, Harry might just bench him.
    Sinclair, penos hogger - that is all.
    No CS for any of my defenders, except maybe Enrique.
    Bale, Vorm & RVP - every team has.
    Given - injured.

      So will Enrique.
      VDV could easily play, and against Stoke a penalty is always around the corner, Silva is fixture proof and didn't Bale score 2 last time around against Stoke? Sturridge could easily score, MCI aren't that great defensively.
      Think we are in for a low-scoring GW nonetheless.
      Why not Helguson > Ba and then possibly Sturridge > Adebayor later on for the DGW?
