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

      To be fair, I think he was shocked...He must have stopped expecting passes of such quality

    Backpass:

    an event executed by some lazy footballers, notably from Manchester United which is stipulated by the lack of desire to clear the ball and inability of running into players with ball at their feet. Usually results in painfully boring matches, defensive calamities and anguish among fans like me

    The criticism doled out to Louis Van Gaal is completely unwarranted. He is a top top manager and given the right backing financially, and the necessary time for the team to gel under his methods and tactics i'm absolutely convinced that they will be Champions next season.

      Rooney too

        Means they'll both score.

        2FT for me. Rooney to Aguero will be one of them.

        Not bothered about no Utd cover, good fixtures or not.

    How does this Super 10 look? It's a competition where I'm allowed to put double "signs" in 5 of the games, and the rest must only be one "sign"

    Everton vs Chelsea = Draw or Chelsea win
    Man City vs Stoke = Man City win
    Newcastle vs Crystal Palace = Newcastle or draw
    West Ham vs Southampton = West Ham win or draw
    QPR vs Sunderland = Draw or Sunderland win
    Swansea vs West Brom = Swansea win
    Fulham vs Cardiff = Cardiff win
    Derby vs Ipswich = Derby win
    Norwich vs Bournemouth = Norwich win
    Leeds vs Bolton = Leeds win or Bolton win

    Any glaring bad picks?

      Cardiff away to Fulham. Don't fancy us to win, more like a 0-0 or 1-1

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        You'll do Fulham. They're gash and players want Penfold out.

      Take out QPR game

      Looking threatening though. Wish I hadn't sold him.

      1. Prime
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        He's hardly touched the ball in 20 minutes, though.

    DDG saved his numpty defence twice now.

    Burnley will drop a ball behind a bit shorter and he'll come out and bring a man down if they aren't careful.
