Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Despite the lack of an early kick-off, Saturday still delivers six Premier League encounters, with five three o’clock clashes followed by Norwich City’s home meet with West Ham this evening. While that match is lacking assets to interest Fantasy managers, this afternoon’s games seem laden with points, particularly at Anfield where Liverpool face lowly Fulham with armbands clasped firmly around the biceps of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

With Chelsea facing West Brom at the Bridge, the Southampton rearguard up against Hull at St Mary’s and Romelu Lukaku locking horns with the Palace defence, Fantasy managers should be looking at a steady flow of returns from today’s events to take them into Sunday’s big fixtures.

Our Twitter stream is carrying all the latest team news prior to kick-off, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to furnish those who like some real-time reaction.

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

    Coutinho is too deep. I can see a penalty and Gerrard goal here too.

    "Steven Gerrard has such ability to whip a ball in. He curled it away from the keeper and Luis Suarez attacked the ball really well. He's such a strong header of the ball, even if it has been credited as an own-goal. This is fantastic play from Liverpool, and Suarez is just running rings round the Fulham defence."

      GOAL - Liverpool 1-0 Fulham - Fernando Amorebieta (OG 23 mins)
      Liverpool do get the breakthrough! Steven Gerrard whips in a free-kick from the right, bodies everywhere in the box and as Luis Suarez just fails to get a touch the ball deflects in off the side of Fulham centre-half Fernando Amorebieta. Is that the signal for the opening of the floodgates?

        My score says otherwise 😉

    ASSISTS It's two assists inside five minutes for Liverpool's Steven Gerrard. Both of the Reds' goals came from the midfielder's set pieces

    🙁

      looks like Suarez didn't get a touch

      1. Scottys Army
        • 10 Years

        he did

          If it's hard to make out they'll probably leave the points with Suarez. Possession is nine tenths of the law, or something*

    Premier league twitter says 2 assists for Gerrard

    1. The Finnisher

    Nice Coutinho shot. His best of the season. Not convinced by his shooting outside the box yet.

    1. aehii
      • 10 Years

      I want assists from him rather than goals.

  28. Jeremiah
    • 11 Years

    It was a Gerrard free kick, which suarez headed and took a deflection off Amorebrieta, its listed as an own goal so definatly a Suarez assist!

    3. Kno

      the questions seems to be whether he touched it or not. Looking forward to another asisstgate being discussed all night
