The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Two – Comfort

Better late then never. In truth, there’s nothing comfortable about this one. We had some nightmarish technical issues that had me tearing at my receding hairline tonight but, we got it done. Just.

The route of the problem was a change of scenery, as Granville and I resorted to staying on home territory to record this latest episode. There was a chance it would end in tears; it almost did.

It is, at least, a bumper episode, with just over 45 minutes of myself and Granville grumbling amidst the regulars on Wednesday evening. With his three point lead at the top of our mini-league, the fact is I couldn’t bear to face my Mancunian rival to discuss the merits of an early wildcards versus points hits, lament the demise of Carlos Tevez and chat about Granville’s night attire.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        why not Ramirez? I fancy him to do well, he is already playing well by all accounts and once he gets settled he could be immense. It gives alternate options than Lambert up front. he already has an assist.

        I guarantee within 4 weeks everyone will want Ramirez

            he has something of a free role. Not competition for Lallana as they play on opposite sides, for puncheon? yes maybe. He could conceivably play behind Lambert with Puncheon wide-left.

        I'd rather have Ramirez as my 4th mid since I don't have Lambert. But then again it's like any other hit since at worst it's Maloney vs 4 point hit and Ramirez. I think I'm sticking and I reckon you should too. Maloney isn't the worst cover in the world and Morrison is hardly an attacking superstar.

          Right now I'm thinking the new few fixtures are great and I want something different than Pienaar or Fellaini. I don't think he has had a decent chance so far. Fellaini was always gonna be the one to score v United. He got a goal v Villa, Everton were poor WBA full stop and then there was the injury. If he fails I can get Ba/Defoe in instead.

    Option 2 - Caulker gamble.

    Manonne (Ruddy)
    Gibbs, Baines, Rafael (nelson, gorkss)
    Barfa, Michu, Gervinio, Oscar, (Kacaniklic)
    RVP, Aguero, Berbatov

    Option 3 (bale over Aguero)
    Manonne (Ruddy)
    Caulker, Baines, Rafael (nelson, gorkss)
    Barfa, Michu, Gervinio, Oscar, (Bale)
