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.

    Cheverlot must be delighted with their sponsorship so far.

    Hope they have a CL clause....

      Never captain a United player, till they get both their legs on the ground!

    The biggest LOL is the watch list with Rooney at the help :S

    Watching United almost reminds me of watching England, possession for possessions sake, until someone gets bored and plays a long ball. No real pace or anything about it.

    Every team in the league looks better and more organised than UTD 🙁

  13. Theseus
    • 11 Years

    Which one is the promoted side again?

    these long balls are clearly designed to get the best out of ADM 🙄

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm just hoping when we have our first choice XI back things look much better.

      LVG once planned to play long balls and play 3-5-2 vs a Team that played a Very High Offside Trap and won 5-1 ..

      He has been doing the same since

    Anyone quoting FPLDiscovery, please can you correctly reference and acknowledge Smarty Pants and his team.

    And get the layout right.

    The united team is worth a ridiculous sum of money THey are playing like a bunch of school girls.

    Have been watching footie for about 20 years now, and I honesty think that Andy Cole was better then Wayne Rooney.

    Andy Cole only got a handful of caps. Rooney has almost 100.

    This is the problem with English football

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ive been saying for ages Rooney should be dropped. Now he is captain, Ive given up on England.

    2. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes but Andy Cole had to compete with Shearer and Owen whereas Rooney has to compete with no one.

    Uniteds back five are just aweful. Terrible. Horrendous.

    Poor poor football from United.

      Man Utd will win this.

        Probably. Doesn't make their ineptitude any less funny

    • Wouter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      United need someone who can lead that defence. They look like Brazil without Thiago Silva against Germany atm. Need to get a player like Vlaar in who can control them.

      1. Gorgles
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        They need Hummels

      Aaagagghh

      That smug feeling of knowing you've put the armband on Siggy....and then double check your team to find you didn't confirm the C and VC changes....

      Eggs in the pig's basket now 😮

      1. AB 92
        • 10 Years

        Hah I still think he's going to get one or two, still early on.

          I hope so.....
          At least most of the herd have Roo as skipper....so not as damaging as it might have turned out to be.....
