Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Everton

Gameweek 32’s inaugural fixture sees Swansea City welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off. Both sides boast good form leading up to this encounter, with the Swans earning victories in the previous two Gameweeks, while the Toffees are in the midst of a three-match wining streak.

All eyes will be on Bafetimbi Gomis in the wake of his brace against Hull City last time out. The ex-Lyon frontman has struggled to fill the void created by Wilfried Bony’s departure to Manchester City, yet four goals for Gomis in as many starts suggests he’ll be a key player for the Welsh outfit throughout their agreeable run-in. Elsewhere in the Swansea camp, Ki Sung-Yeung continues to impress with his goalscoring prowess – having netted four goals in the past eight Gameweeks – while Gylfi Sigurdsson has delivered attacking returns in two of his last four outings.

Garry Monk is forced into one change to the side that saw off ten-man Hull City last time out – Angel Rangel comes in at right-back with Kyle Naughton forced to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Everton’s upturn in form has renewed Fantasy interest in the likes of right-back Seamus Coleman, who bagged a goal and an assist in their Gameweek 30 visit to Loftus Road. The Irish international has benefited from Everton’s much-improved defensive resolve in recent weeks, with Roberto Martinez’s men conceding a solitary goal in their last three league clashes. Today’s teamsheet finds Everton unchanged, as Romelu Lukaku misses out once again: Arouna Kone leads the attack with Ross Barkley up in support.

    Hope Southampton concede a handful of goals today. Koeman will be forced to bring back Clyne next week.

      Haha, like your theory. Yoshida having a nightmare would do the trick.

        (but we must outscore Hull)

            Looks like I'll be waiting a while then 😛

            It's ok, my FPL team name is set for next season assuming

            a) the player in question comes to the PL
            b) I decide to keep playing

    2. Breadbin

      Not if he was dropped for insubordination. Koeman deserves respect.

        True indeed.
        Maybe they want to sell Yoshida in the summer and fancied slipping him into a match ?!

      CLyne is moving to man utd next season, hence the drop

      1. mipola

        We can only speculate now.

    4. FPL Daniel

      They r conceding a lot recently. Just FYI.

    Siggy without penalties is useless, i'm selling.

    1. MBK 42

      He's never taken pens for Swansea? You get him for fk's and assists.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's been useless for months. They used to play with Bony as a Failse 9 for a lot of games with the mids running beyond him...Bony's avg position was damned near the half way line whilst Siggys was ahead of him. All that stopped when Bony left.

      I went to the KC for the reverse fixture and Hull struggled to handle Mané's movement. Hoping it's the same today!

    2. Somalion

      Was surprised he was let leave, given that some of the Saints boys will probably be on their merry way.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He'd have gone for free this summer though?

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          My impression was there was no particular interest in trying to retain him. Though that may have been off, I really rate him though.

      2. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I agree. Should've signed and waited for MS4 to leave.

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years

          MS4 😆 And I agree, though with the cash we'd buy someone else anyway.

    Barkley is seriously talented, but his final pass is piss poor.

    1. La Roja

      He is ridiculously overrated

      1. Acquafresca

        Very good running with the ball, just lacks that final pass.

      2. Les Bleus

    Got tired of Eriksen blanking and leaving Ki points on my bench, so I swapped them around this week. Really hope that decision doesn't come back to bite me. Would be just my luck if Spurs run riot against Villa later...

  13. @ocprodigy

    This is why RedCafe annoys me sometimes, quotes from the Clyne thread...

    "Clyne is not a patch on Rafael. Coleman would be my choice if we're buying a right-back. Valencia would then be surplus to requirements."

    "Clyne isn't neither good enough for us, nor should cost mroe than 15m."

    "He's a Glen Johnson-level player. I hope we don't sign him."

    "Can't believe anybody thinks he is an upgrade on Valencia. Valencia and Rafael are both better players."

    And it goes on and on.

    I don't like singling out my own fans but do people actually watch football before they make these comments?! It infuriates me.

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Comparing him to glen Johnson is criminal enough - he's Barcelona material apparently 😉

      Well if he wasnt English 15mill would be more than enough for him. I think hes solid and better than what UTD have at the moment.

      Rafael will be off at the end of the season. Can see a massive clear-out tbh

      Lindergaard, at least one of Smalling, Jones and Evans, Nani, Cleverley, Rafael, Falcao, RvP

      Why do people think Siggy was the Swans pen taker, it was always Bony when he was there?

  24. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Jonjo is developing into a decent player at Swansea. If he wasn't so mental when defending he'd be alright.
