Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

The final match of Gameweek 22 gets underway at Goodison this evening as Everton prepare for the visit of Tony Pulis’ West Brom. The new Baggies boss steadied the ship with a 1-0 home win over Hull in his first league match in charge but faces a tough task to turn around his side’s woeful away form, with just two points accrued in their previous five road trips.

Saido Berahino has netted five times in two matches across all competitions since Pulis’ appointment, though, and will fancy his chances of breaching a backline that has conceded in each of the last 11 Gameweeks. The likes of Andre Wisdom and Joleon Lescott are also on Fantasy radars as we look to the “Pulis effect” to transform the West Brom defence.

For the hosts, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas will be looking to kick on from their midweek cup displays at West Ham. Both grabbed a goal apiece in the Upton Park defeat, with the latter also supplying an assist for his compatriot, whilst at the back, Leighton Baines’ two assists in the last three suggest he could yet persuade many Fantasy owners to hold for now as the Toffees attempt to rediscover last year’s form and climb up the table.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Baines needs to grow a pair. Fair enough if he'd missed a couple, but he's letting Mirallas bully him off everything!

    1. Viper

      Baines scored 15 of his last 16

      1. darko

        9 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly!

    Why didn't Baines take it?

    1. theloveburglar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      he's scared of mirallas

    Does Foster get save points for the penalty miss? As a Baines and Foster owner I felt seeing smug with that shot going wide!

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why would he? He didn't save it.

    2. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No. Just if he had actualy saved the shot. Post doesn't count

  10. Les Bleus

    Mirallas is such a bully. Now hopefully Baines will be on all set pieces!

    Non Baines owner too.

  11. Mull
    • 12 Years

    If he'd done that when everyone owned Baines this forum would no longer exist.

    Is Baines leaving?
    Retiring?

    Whys he been alleviated of all his important duties?

  13. A guy

    I really hate Mirallas and I'm glad he missed, an arrogant player that is stealing Baines' fantasy points.

    Why on earth did Leighton Baines not take that penalty? One minute of stoppage time.

  22. Hibbopotamus

    Mirallas is gone after this year anyways, so he's probably thinking "eff it, we're terrible, I want my damn goals." He's our best player but damnit can he be maddening sometimes

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      1. Hibbopotamus

    Not surprised. I had a live bet on Everton HT. I have Foster as my GK. Of course it had to be a miss, but no save.

    Mirallas obviously doubled up on the WBA defense on the January wildcard
