The ScoutCast – Episode 146 – Closer

Granville and I get cosy on a two-seater sofa – within touching distance – just how he likes it.

In truth, my-host is getting too close for comfort: the mini-league gap is down to just 42 points, with Granville relentlessly chiping away at my previously unassailable lead.

We review Gameweek 16’s events, including my oh-so bitter Dzeko pill, before discussing De Gea’s uncanny form, the demise of Leighton Baines and my latest set-to with Jonty: are there better options than Diego Costa up top?

The regulars wrap themselves around that lot, while Granville, thankfully, keeps his hands to himself.

Snuggle up to the noise via this link or get up close and personal via the player below…

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

    I know which ever of Dummett/Yun I will bench, he will keep a CS. Just hope he doesn't score a goal to make it worse.

      Newcastle vs Sunderland is a derby match and I don't see any team keeping a clean sheet so rather bench dummet

        But often those derbies are one-sided,I remember a lot of 3-0 and 2-0 scores in the past few years.

        but he's coming back from an ACL so no guarantee he's as explosive (though I think he should be fine as I'm a pacy player who had his ACL done and came back nearly as quick and didn't have world class rehab)

          Wow unbelieveable!

          My brother had a complete tear on his ACL, suffered while making a tackle as well.
          Such a brutal injury, he couldn't put any pressure on his knee and was out for at least 9 months.
          I feel for these athletes sometimes as I had to cut my career short due to multiple injuries. No coincidence that its the players that give it their all on every play that tend to get injured.

          Hopefully he will be able to comeback and rediscover that form. Even if he doesn't reach it, I rather see him out there playing at 80% then to see him sidelined because your body failed you.

    Can I play a just a little devils advocate?

    😈 😈

    Is there any possibility that we are putting too much focus on the upcoming MCity fixtures?
    Perhaps overreacting a bit?

    They have no true strikers, that are fit. (except for Pozo)

    I think we may be anticipating City to perform like they did last year without Aguero, but I'm afraid the circumstances are a bit different this time around?

    They needed Lampard to beat Leicester 1-0.

    Any other nice thoughts?

      They're amazing at home though, and have three plum fixtures there in the next four. The difficulty is in knowing which players to pick, but three wins to nil would be far from a surprise. I'm grabbing a defender and Yaya, given their home records.

        Absolutely. I'm with you guys.
        Definitely making the right move; investing your money wisely if you will.

        I just think we are kind of expecting City to run over these next 4 no problem, but I could definitely see a hiccup in between.

        They already got 2 CS in a row going, can they really make it 6 in a row?

        Possible, but unlikely.

      Who are your other defenders? I'd base it on which of Swansea and Newcastle rotate best with the rest for the upcoming matches.

      A nice thing about Yaya is that he's more expensive than anyone else - you can afford to sit back for a few weeks and then pick anyone you like depending on form and what else you're doing with the money you'll earn, no need to plan it now.

          Ah that's sensible to stagger it in that case - a bit like having to get rid of all the Southampton assets at once when the fixtures turned - its best to plan these things ahead. I agree with Sunny on Di Maria - looking at United's fixtures from the New Year, looks the ideal Yaya replacement if money isn't an object.
