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.

    Correctly picked Jones over Vidic for 2 starts (admittedly because I couldn't afford Evra) and this happens. Pre 30 minutes and all.

    Giggs seems certain then a last one maybe Keane or Amos (2 youngsters)?

    think that's a dangerous flaw in the rules of football. jones flies in for a header and clatters figueroa (who won the ball). imo a yellow card for reckless play, even if the intention isn't to foul let alone harm it's potentially dangerous.
    another one is when players fly in 2 footed last ditch to block a shot. it may not be a tackle but the follow through so often catches the player and can cause damage. i actually fgot a bad ankle injury in this exact scenario, it was a goal so no foul, no card, and i was screwed for a few months.
    long story short i think jones could have been booked there.

      Agreed. One of the worst things in the game is those dangerous fouls after a shot is taken. It seems like a free cheap shot in some instances.
