Sunday Dugout Discussion

There’s a couple of top-flight encounters to entertain us this afternoon. QPR prepare for the visit of Reading, with both sides looking for their first win of the season, before Liverpool play host to Newcastle at 4pm. As always, our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is open and available ahead of the early Loftus Road showdown:

The team news from Loftus Road is in and is as follows:

QPR Starting XI: Cesar; Bosingwa, Ferdinand, Nelsen, Traore; Mackie, Diakite, Granero, Taarabt; Hoilett; Cisse

Mark Hughes makes three alterations from the side that narrowly lost 1-0 at Arsenal last weekend. Stephane Mbia drops out through suspension, with Anton Ferdinand coming in at centre-half. Jamie Mackie is preferred to Shaun Wright-Phillips on the right flank and Djibril Cisse replaces Bobby Zamora as the lone forward.

Reading Starting XI: McCarthy; Gunter, Gorkss, Morrison, Shorey; McCleary, Leigertwood, Tabb McCleary, McAnuff; Hunt, Roberts

Brian McDermott makes four changes from the side that drew 3-3 at home with Fulham last time round. In defence, Chris Gunter replaces Shaun Cummings at right-back, while Sean Morrison comes in at centre-half, with Adrian Mariappa dropping out. Elsewhere, Garath McCleary is preferred to Jimmy Kebe on the right flank and Pavel Pogrebnyak is omitted from the first XI for the first time this term, with Noel Hunt partnering Jason Robert in a front two.

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

      Happy enough. Had Suarez, Ben Arfa, Nelsen and Taarabt.

      Would have been very good had Taarabt finished that chance. At least he's getting in those positions though.

    We had the most possesion, one of their centre backs was cramping up, another got sent off, we had a man advantage, several corners, freekicks and we still couldn't win. Well done lads quite frankly you didn't deserve the draw had it not been for Suarez.

    Begovic
    Sagna Rafael Baines
    Michu Pienaar Santi Mata
    RVP Berbatov Tevez

    McCarthy Sterling Gorkss Clyne

    0.5M in the bank. Thinking Pienaar>Fellaini

    Thinking - Earn some money. Good time to gamble on Felliani with those fixtures and if he gets yellow, get rid of the Everton attack anyway since their fixtures toughen up fast.

    Do it? I am thinking yes.

      Cracking squad. And I think you can afford to gamble on Pienaar > Fellaini. Not a big deal if he misses 1 game through suspension either. Pienaar missed last week through suspension and isn't scoring well to balance it out whereas Fellaini is.

      Fellaini is more goal threat than Pienaar, I'd do it.
      Its one of those that can bite you in the ass as Pienaar could score nxt wknd and Felliani not but Fellaini will certainly score more goals in the long run. He's also central to Evertons way of playing, I've never seen a player use his chest as much as Fellaini, its incredible.
      Anyway, yeah go for it

    Take a look at my team and see how I can get RVP in please. I just need RVP in and have no worries about dropping ANYONE to do it. I have two frees and know i'll have to spend at least 4 to make things look alright. Also have no problem spending 8 and having a virtual mini-wildcard with 4 transfers.
