Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Burnley Vs Man United

Gameweek 3 gets underway with a lunchtime encounter between Burnley and troubled United. Having lost their first two matches, the Clarets are desperate to get points on the board and will certainly be buoyed by the current form of today’s opponents, as Louis van Gaal’s side stumble from one poor result to another.

With Angel di Maria poised to make his debut for the visitors, though, Fantasy owners of United’s attackers have a renewed sense of optimism for the Turf Moor meet. Captain Poll favourite Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie are all more than capable of delivering in emphatic fashion and could be set to benefit from the Argentine’s arrival.

Following this one, we have five matches to savour at 3pm before Everton host Chelsea in the evening kick-off at Goodison.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Even with United's fixtures I'm considering getting rid, they looked really poor defensively today.

      There's just no way a team which has spent such a large quantity of money should look so utterly mediocre against a team which has spent nothing.

    In actuality 2 for rooney and mata is good for those without mata and non rooney captainers, ill take it despite massively disappointed w wayne

    LVG the fat turd sitting down and waiting for the other manager to shake his hand. What an arse.

    1. iCon

      I think he was somewhat embarrassed 😳

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Did you see him signing autographs after the MK Dons game? Madness

  9. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    No bonus points for de gea?

  10. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Uyd are 13th and no one else has played yet 😀 this is so much worse than Moyes

    1. bazrah99
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not possible to get worse than Moyes

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        It clearly is.

  11. HUMZAH96

      BREAKING: Harry Redknapp confirms Loric Remy is set to join Chelsea.

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        What are the thoughts on this?

        I have him in a draft league... should I look to sell him?

        1. HUMZAH96
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Yes sell I'd say, would be a back up

      2. iCon

        Rooney(c) fail, but at least I stuck with Phil 3Baps Jones!

      3. SW6
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Transferred in Phil Jones this week 😎

      4. DIegoCosta19
        • 9 Years

      5. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 13 Years

        Massive one point for the underdogs

        Well done Utd

        1. KOKAK
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Good one

      6. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Got Rooney but very pleased with that.

        Jones clean and 3 baps (I hope)
        No armband on Rooney.

        Rooney captainers and Mata owners fail, so not bad.

      7. Mr_Partridge
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks for the laughs Man United.

      8. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Mata 8.8 over the break for sure.

        1. Yome
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          8.7 for sure, he is 8.9 now

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

        4. El Matador
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Because they play at 5.30pm. Duh

      11. BubbleBlower
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Wow how poor are Man Utd. There have to be better options until they start playing cohesively.

        9 years, 9 months ago

        Everybody rushing to get rid of Rooney, good luck but I'll be keeping him looking at his next 3 fixtures.

        QPR lei WHM

        1. MJ6987
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          And bur today!

        2. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          yeah - he did so well in his last 3 - Swa, Sun and Bur

        3. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          same. will reassess after them fixtures

        4. DIegoCosta19
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          they said that for swansea, then sunderland, then burnley and now these

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          But look at his last three fixtures, additionally he looked terrible today. He is most certainly gone from my team.

      13. Sideshow Luiz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Mata>Sterling
        Rooney>??

        Seeing as I have Siggy, Mata, Costa, Eriksen, I'm going to have to double up somewhere.

        Rooney to Ade/Ballo/Sturridge/Bony? Not a big fan of Naismith.

      14. Barrier Freeman
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Van Gaal seems like a charmer.

      15. HUMZAH96
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Looks like Jones the beast will get 3 bonus points

        • Mr_Partridge
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Just realised LVG looks like Jabba The Hut

          1. Captain Shirokov
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            He looks like a badger

          2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            It's the fact he has no chin

        • Captain Shirokov
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          De Gea scores 3 points in two weeks while I have him and gets 7 in one then when I take him out.

          😆
