The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

24 November 2013 5026 comments

Sunday’s fare includes two Premier League matches featuring both Manchester clubs and a cast of Fantasy captain candidates.

Events begin at the Etithad where Man City’s 100% home record will be tested against a Spurs side that’s seemingly allergic to goals – at either end of the pitch.

Andre Villas-Boas side have scored just a single goal in their last three matches but, equally, have conceded just once in their last four league outings. In contrast, goals are flowing with abandon for City and, having scored 20 at the Etihad this term, Manuel Pellegrini will be optimistic on breaching the resolute Spurs defence this afternoon.

That lunchtime encounter is followed by United’s trip to South Wales to face a Cardiff side suffering an alarming slip on form. Three defeats in five will be a concern for Malky Mackay has he prepares his team to face a United outfit looking for their fourth straight league win.

With the likes of Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie carrying the armband hopes of many, Sunday is set to have a big impact on our Gameweek tallies.

All the lineup news from today’s matches will be presented in our Twitter feed via Andy’s typing fingers. Meanwhile, our Dugout Discussion chatrooom is now fully operational and open to receive your real-time reactions.

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

    So many Aguero captainers were whingeing yesterday because they hadn't captained Suarez 🙄

            of course he does you clown shoe. The assist goes to the last player from the same team that touched it last so deflections off the keeper count. Always have.

          - Navas goal was an Aguero assist imo and should be added later on
          - Negredo 'goal' was given as a Sandro OG so he should get the assist but def not Aguero

              the ball was blocked by Kaboul [i think] and then run in by Sandro.

              It looks like an own goal and a block rather than an assist/goal for Negredo

            Negredo's involvement in the second won't get points, from my understanding, since the ball was blocked by a defender rather than a GK or the frame of the goal.

            The rules changed this season

              Not a goal but an assist surely.

                for that to be an assist it would need to have come back off a keeper or the frame of the goal according to the new rules.

                I personally feel an assist is the least he deserves but i'm not sure he'd get it by FPL rules.

                I mean, it's a Negredo assist, og for Sandro as defender had blocked shot before going in off Sandro.

          No. Although they had the majority of possession. Didn't do anything with it. Paulinho had a chance...

        Why can't City play away? Made United and Spurs look like minnows. If they sort out their away form this League is theirs.
