The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Man United

Sunday’s tea-time kick-off pits two unbeaten sides together, as Swansea City welcome Manchester United to the Liberty Stadium. The Swans recorded a comfortable 2-0 win over Newcastle United in their last home match-up but now face a United unit that’s yet to concede a goal this term.

Garry Monk’s new-look attack has carved through the opposition with consummate ease, placing second for attempts (56) and joint-first for big chances (eight) and shots on target (24). This forward impetus has been balanced by a rigidity at the back, as evidenced by the fact they’ve conceded the fewest shots inside the box (11) of any side.

As for the Red Devils, they’ve limited their opponents to just 22 shots and one big chance in three match-ups. Having kicked off the campaign with back-to-back 1-0 wins, they’ve done just enough on the attacking front, ranking in the bottom half for shots inside the box (19) and shots on target (11).

    ok so after enjoying my best ever season last year, I'm having - like a lot of people on here - my worst debut ever.

    Looked at my players' stats a bit, and I found out that after 4 GWKs, and 44 players playing, I got an amazing :
    - 2 clean sheets
    - 4 assists
    - 3 goals
    For an average of 3.1 points/player.

    It's worth noting that I played my WC this GWK, which yielded me a staggering 39 points!

    And the icing on the cake : I kicked out Mané last week...

      I have 2 goals, 3 assists and 2 clean sheets. Two of those assists came today. Always someone doing worst and I've heard a lot more stories like mine. Its been a difficult start. I'm keeping my chin up despite random anger at my bad decisions.

            Benching Targett and Darmain and playing Gomez and Azpilicueta (I was struggling to pick between them) looks to have been a terrible decision.
