[sbu_large_image] Dugout Discussion

31 December 2011 3357 comments

Akers

We see out 2011 with a programme of seven Premier League fixtures, after Gameweek 19 got under way last night with a 3-1 win for Liverpool over Newcastle. The Dugout Discussion opens for the final time this year, and the incoming team news from Old Trafford suggests that a certain Scot has begun his birthday celebrations a tad early…

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Rafael, Jones, Carrick, Evra, Nani, Valencia, Park, Welbeck, Hernandez, Berbatov.
Blackburn XI: Bunn, Lowe, Samba, Hanley, Pedersen, Henley, Nzonzi, Petrovic, Rochina, Formica, Yakubu.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who turns 70 today, names a peculiar looking side for the second game running. Given United’s 5-0 drubbing of Wigan last time out, who are we to question his selection? However, eyebrows will be raised at the exclusion of Wayne Rooney from the matchday squad, after only featuring for half an hour on Boxing Day.

Phil Jones returns from illness to partner Michael Carrick in defence rather than midfield. Nani and Antonio Valencia play in midfield behind a trio or strikers, leaving Ji Sung Park to man the middle of the park.

As for Steve Kean’s side, injuries to both Junior Hoilett and David Dunn (surprise, surprise), mean Radosav Petrovic and Ruben Rochina start. After his heroics at Anfield, Mark Bunn continues in goal.

After that we’ve five 3pm fixtures, and no evening game allows us to be unfashionably on time for our New Year’s shindigs. This is my last post of 2011, so I wish you all a Happy New Year! See you in 2012!

Before last GW I chose Valencia over Nani, largely due to financial constraints.

    I'm having a shit week too to be honest. Rooney (c) didn't work out so well as he'll be replaced by 1 point for 1 touch Ben Arfa. RVP (vc) though so all not lost.

Can someone please gift Nani something. I'd like to not walk out of a home game against Blackburn with what equates to four United players and 2 points in total.

  I was thinking the same because that's how I got them both. Got Bale weeks ago (before his points streak) as couldn't afford DVD and then got Valencia 2 weeks ago because I couldn't afford Nani 🙂

  Nani hasn't got the points but he's been playing his socks off. When VDV hobbles off clutching his hamstrings and Nani's cleans up again you'll be sorry...

Burly - swear i wont ever (…
14 years, 4 months ago
After 11 green arrows in 12 weeks, I am now heading for my 2nd red arrow in 3 weeks.

Summary of my 3 biggest mistakes in recent weeks..

1. I jumped on the Nani bandwagon too late, returning miserable points in the last 2 weeks.

2. I kept faith with VDV, thinking he'l come back to form, and didnt bring Bale in early enough, rival did.

I sold Silva and brought in Bale for this week and teh double, and I fear now that will also be a major mistake.

After going from 1,332,496 to 52,803 in 8 weeks, I have royally f**ked things up in recent weeks.

Happy New Year my a*se.
