Monday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 1

20 August 2012 2179 comments

Akers

It’s the first Monday Night Football installment of the season, and we’re at Goodison Park to see Everton host Manchester United. The build-up to this game has surrounded around the arrival of Robin van Persie at Manchester United, and how he would feature this evening. The Dugout Discussion is open and the eagerly anticipated team news is in…

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Neville, Osman, Fellaini, Pienaar, Gibson, Jelavic.
Man United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Vidic, Carrick, Evra, Cleverley, Kagawa, Scholes, Nani, Welbeck, Rooney.

Sir Alex Ferguson chooses to start just one of his two major signings, and it’s the Japanese playmaker Shinji Kagawa that makes his United debut. It’s a makeshift defence with Antonio Valencia and Michael Carrick filling the gaps. Robin van Persie starts on the bench.

As for the hosts, David Moyes names a familiar looking side, leaving new signing Steven Naismith on the bench.

Follow all the action as it unfolds in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which is open and can be accessed right here.

  Perhaps Moyes is only doing this formation because it worked last time against United? Next week I think one of Naismith/Mirallas will come in and Fellaini will drop back perhaps?

  1. isacki: full casual
    13 years, 7 months ago
    Quite possibly, but Fellaini does seem to get forward a lot regardless of where he plays and it's a bonus if he gets to play in the hole. His height and physicality makes him a target man so that's possibly why he's sent up top.
    
    Admittedly I am just trying to see if there's any alternative to Michu right now, he's still the likeliest to come in.
