Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man City

We have to face it – after the momentous points bonanza of Gameweek 8, this weekend may well be a bit of a comedown.

Six Saturday fixtures will have the task of setting us up for another round of three-figure hauls and, ironically, it all begins with last weekend’s leading man on show as Man City crash Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Sergio Aguero and City will surely face an uncomfortable ride in East London, with the resurgent Hammers giddy at the prospect of facing the champions whilst sitting in fourth place in the table. Fantasy managers will, nonetheless, be anticipating and expecting the Aguero show to rumble on through the home defence: the Argentine sports the armband for many and we’ll look for at least one goal from him amongst the huff and puff of today’s early kick-off.

Following that, we’ve just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before Swansea host Leicester in a gentle-looking evening clash to see us out.

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

    Amalfitano fits really well with the Hammers ... becoming an option at 5m?

    Have City done anything, are they looking any good?

    City remind me of united from last year. No end product, too circumspect, living dangerously.

      No end product ?

      🙄

      Spurs fan here that thinks differently

    Surely you can sense the sarcasm in the "Aguero (c) fail" posts

      its not clearcut though as there are plenty stupid enough to genuinely post that

        this,

        and the sarcastic ones stopped being funny a long time ago

      2. Would an idiot do that?

        True

      people turn bitter when it isn't all going their way

    Kolorov will come on at HT

    1. JedJez
      • 12 Years

      Hope not - my rival has him

      1. DRY PEANUT
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Pellegrini likes to bring him on for pace and crosses

  11. Muffinz

    City should switch to 4-2-3-1 to get some presence in midfield imo.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐

      yup Dzeko off, Milner or Fernando on

  12. Ludo

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Valencia and Sakho are great in the air considering their height, and with Downing, Amalfitano, Cresswell and Jenkinson, West Ham have a couple of great crossers down both sides.

  13. Give The Todd Some Love

    Fernando's playing?! 😯

    1. VougieDipond
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      he's on the pitch. Playing might be stretching it a bit

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

  17. BRONALDINHO

    It's starting to be too hard for me to ignore West Ham's attacking. There's a sentence I never thought I would write...

  18. Mull
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    That's a great tackle! Why is that a yellow?

  19. Obi Wan Elokobi

    Who still always presses 405 for sky sports news and 401 for sky sports 1.

  20. Hibbo

    The overrated Kompany getting roasted at half way by anyone with an ounce of pace.

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      :/

  21. Del Griffith

    West Ham are actually playing well and could easily get a draw here if not win it

  22. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Brandish.

    That's a word you only hear these days in relation to football (re yellow and red cards)

    Like "adjudged" as well (re offside)
