Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Everton

Saturday’s events get underway with a clash between Southampton and Everton at St Mary’s this lunchtime. Both sides are looking for a first win of the new campaign after registering 2-2 draws with Newcastle and Watford last weekend.

The Saints proved a reliable source of defensive returns at home last year, chalking up 11 clean sheets in front of their own fans and conceding a mere 13 times – only Chelsea (nine) proved more miserly.

After netting twice at St James’ Park last week, they’ll be looking to take advantage of a Toffees backline devoid of the injured Leighton Baines. Certainly, given that the visitors managed just two clean sheets on their travels last season, those backing the Saints at both ends of the pitch will fancy their chances of getting amongst the points.

    I had lukaku + azpi instead of sakho+ivanovic until 30 minutes before season started.. oh well, maybe sakho can do something today

    If I'd started with Lukaku, I'd have transferred him out for Benteke for this week.

    That would have been so painful 😆

  16. SweeSwee

    Best 5m or lower replacement for Cedric?

    1. aehii
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going with delaney, which is a rubbish idea given their fixture, BUT YOU KNOW

  17. aehii

    if inside out has taught me anything it's that it's good to not feel joy sometimes.

    or something

      The fixtures really put me off. Form, though.....

    Walcott to Barkley

  23. Heydudes13
    • 12 Years

    Targett Cedric Yoshida over Bertrand Clyne Alderweireld has gotta hurt

  24. BrockLanders

    Anyone doubling or tripling up on Southampton may be slightly irritated right about now..

  25. Wilshere Knowledge

    Looks like a lot of Rooney owners will end up with another crap striker in his place. 😆

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Giroud? 😯

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Mate, after Rooney yesterday, I'm surprised you're not in hiding. 😉

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Well, I believe I made the argument on here before that Roo wasn't a patch on the really top strikers 😉

          Speaking of hidings, how are things after last weekend? 😉

  26. OPTA FPL

    Pelle + Mane + Targett give me BIG 0 point after 45 mins

    1. Dempsey
      • 10 Years

      ouch

    2. Mull

      At least Southampton are wearing a nice kit.

    3. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Same. Confidently predicting we'll get at least 2 points in total from the three before full time though

  27. white lightning
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    If things pan out as expected I will probably use my 2 ft's on - Ramsey & Rooney out, Sanchez & Gomis in - 1.5itb.

    Mignolet ( Henn)
    Kosc, Williams, Huth (Coates, Francis)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Mane, Mahrez
    Gomis, Sakho (C. Wilson)

    Plan to save ft & then get Auero gw6. By then I'll decide which of Sanchez, Hazard or Silva will go for him.

    Thoughts welcome & thanks.
