Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After a subdued Saturday programme, Sunday explodes on us with veritable feast of football featuring five of last season’s top seven sides. While Chelsea’s visit to the Etihad at tea-time is undoubtedly the headline act, we’ve plenty to keep us engaged until the 4pm kick-off.

The day begins with a pair of fixtures, with Leicester looking to continue their impressive start to their campaign against Louis van Gaal’s United redux, whilst at the Lane, Spurs will be seeking to dish out further punishment to a West Brom side that’s faltered out of the blocks so far.

That’s rounded off by the main event in Manchester, with Everton’s Goodison clash with Crystal Palace running alongside it. Fantasy managers look set for a eventful afternoon,then, with the day’s events potential turning Gameweek fortunes on their head.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news and key injury updates as the night draws in and Gameweek 5 draws to a close.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I know I am late but what happened to Coleman? Why he isn't starting > ? Was it expected ?

    Naismith better stay on the bench as I have Fabregas 1st sub!

      Your own fault

      Clyne would sub here. Nervous!

      What's Fabregas done?

        Naismith is vs Palace, Fab is at City. Hardly a terrible decision, but with the benefit of hindsight I obviously should have swapped them.

    Any chance of Naismith staying on the bench?

    1. rickardinho

      I'm wondering the same thing. Hopefully the game is tight or Everton are forced to make defensive changes instead.

    An Aguero captain fail and a haul for Costa would really sum this day up.

      I would enjoy this.

    Anyone have Clattenburg today? Four assists against a pretty good United side.

    Aguero done I think. ...for a few weeks

    time to transfer him out for those that didn't learn their lesson 200 times before

    Man Utd - first 5 games in the season

    11/12 Fergie 12 points
    12/13 Moyes 7 points
    14/15 LVG 5 points

    I'm no stato like that Smartypants chap but there is some form of trend developing here I think.

    NAISMITH CAPTAIN....please stay on the bleeding bench!

  24. Coaly
    • 11 Years

    Great work there from JT

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe he has Rooney as captain in his FPL team?

  25. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

    The boy needs to do some leg curls.

  26. mouldy_uk
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Of course naismith is coming on because

    A. I have him
    B. No way is Eto going a full 90

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      at least you did not captain him!
      Hoping mirallas on for eto instead....

    Clattenburg like any other sporting professional is only human and entitled to the odd bad day at the office.

    United players have been having these bad days since SAF left and no fans ask for accountability from them but jump down poor Clattenburgs throat when he has a bad day.

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

      Things is, Clattenburg only works one day per week so he should get it right really.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Sound logic can't be defied really.

    2. Not Irish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No one should get it that wrong.

  29. Sid07

    Or

  30. Pompel

    1. Baby Face Nelson
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Dzeko -> Dat Guy (c)

      can't complain really 🙂
