Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Fantasy managers have just one match to entertain us this evening as United play their final home game of what has been a tumultuous first campaign of the post-Ferguson era. Ryan Giggs’ brief tenure as interim-manager of the Red Devils has already served up an impressive hammering of Norwich before Sunderland quickly burst the bubble of optimism last weekend:

Giggs makes as many as eight alterations from the side that lost to the Black Cats, with the Welshman joinging the likes of Nemanja Vidic, Juan Mata and Robin Van Persie on the bench. Once again, the hosts are without Wayne Rooney, who has failed to recover from the illness and/or groin problem that saw him miss the Black Cats clash.

Steve Bruce makes five changes for visitors Hull – with their top-flight survival now secured, the Tigers manager’s teamsheet clearly has one eye on the upcoming FA Cup Final clash against Arsenal.

Our Twitter feed carries all the news from tonight’s team sheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to collect your real-time reactions to this evening’s events.

    Lessons from this DGW:

    1. Don't bring players in too far in advance of a DGW
    2. Don't captain a player who's legs are made of glass in a DGW

    The second one should have been obvious but hindsight is a wonderful thing!

    Apparently, Aguero is the only player in the City squad not available. What are the chances that its the one we all captained????

      Meh. Chelsea had something to play for and dropped their best two players on the season (Hazard and Azpil). None of this would have happened with a non-intern manager in place.

      Depends on their positions. Only get strikers and midfielders, forget the defence. Minus 8 wild be my limit, though I'm not taking a hit.

      Poyet said Wickham has been suffering of an injury of late, that is why he came off early in the game. Altidore could start I reckon.

          True then he would probably be subbed off again early if Sunderland are leading
