The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon kick-offs, beginning with Fulham’s clash with Villa at the Cottage, in just a few minutes. Following on from that, two form sides clash at the Emirates as leaders Arsenal look for their seventh home victory of the season against an Everton outfit fresh from their midweek win at Old Trafford.

While those two teams are looking to extend a superb spell of results, Rene Meulensteen’s Fulham are desperately seeking to end a run of six consecutive defeats against Paul Lambert’s inconsistent Villa: they will arrive in West London unbeaten in their last four road trips in the league and boosted by the midweek win at St Mary’s.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest news on today’s teamsheets as it breaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout today’s matches, up until the final whistle at the Emirates.

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

    Ram looks like he wants to get subbed off at halftime today

      Martinez showing what can be done with a different mindset - but Moyes getting terrible press about his contribution is rubbish—he did bloody well at Goodison.

              He had a fit RVP and Vidic + Other teams throwing it away. Also can't dispute the effect of security and confidence of everyone at Trafford — to mythical status. Folk could have been taking it to Man U for years.

              It's entirely different for Moyes. I'm glad he left Goodison as we needed to freshen up, but taking the Poison Chalice of following SAF was a career mistake.

          Which is true. Look a the net spend from Everton in the past 10 years in comparison to other clubs in the top 10-15 places in the premier league.

          Martinez is doing great, I don't deny it, but he had a wadge of cash and great foundation to build on. Moyes had neither.

    Rat Williams Ivanovic ( Clyne Burner)
    Ozil Nasri Hazard Sess ( RavMo )
    Suarez Aguero Lukaku

    2 FTs. 0.3 in the bank.

    Any suggestions as to what to do?
    Thinking it's time for Ivanovic to leave, and for Coleman to come in.
    Defence needs some work I think.
