The Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Newcastle

Manchester United once again beckon in the new Gameweek, this time playing host to Newcastle United in a 12.45pm kick-off. The Red Devils go in search of their third successive victory, while the Magpies look to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat against Swansea last time out.

Man United recorded just six clean sheets at Old Trafford in the previous campaign but have yet to concede this season. Louis van Gaal’s charges restricted opposing teams to just one big chance over the opening two Gameweeks, underlining their disciplined start at the back.

In contrast, the Magpies have been breached on four occasions already and will have to do without suspended right-back Daryl Janmaat during their visit to Manchester. Those Fantasy managers who’ve invested in their forward line will be concerned by the fact that no side has fashioned fewer attempts inside the box (seven) than the Tynesiders.

    If LVG must play Januzaj as a CAM, why does he even bother to play Mata then? He has never ever looked good as a winger.

    Just play Valencia on the right wing.

      Stealing a bit of that Wenger asymmetry, one runner and one creative on the wings. Rather Sanchez and Ozil than Depay and Mata though 😉

        Atleast Wenger realised the folly, and moved Ozil to no 10 finally.

                Nah...in all seriousness, Memphis is good. Bit raw needs to lift the head to see passes and brush up on shooting but he'll come good.
