Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Gameweek 14 reaches its apogee with a pair of intriguing mid-afternoon match-ups. Liverpool look to build on their head-turning triumph at the Etihad when Swansea City pay a visit, while Norwich City host an Arsenal outfit that will be determined to bounce back from their home defeat to West Brom.

The Reds’ attack has kicked into life under Jurgen Klopp and ranks joint-top over the last four Gameweeks for attempts (67) and shots inside the box (44). Moreover, no side managed more key passes (55) than the Merseysiders during that period. As for the Swans, they place fourth-bottom for attempts (36), having drawn blanks in two of their previous three outings. Garry Monk’s beleaguered outfit has flattered to deceive at the back, too, conceding nine big chances since Gameweek 10.

The Canaries have battened down the hatches in response to their 6-2 mauling at the hands of Newcastle United in Gameweek 9, conceding just four goals in as many fixtures. However, goals (two in four) have not been forthcoming, with the Norfolk outfit also ranking second-bottom for attempts (34). The Gunners will feel they have enough firepower to break Norwich’s resistance, considering they amassed more big chances (14) than any side over the last four Gameweeks.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years

      To be fair...

  13. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    lol at my Ozil -> Sanchez captain switch at 13:59

    1. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Whoops

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

    3. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Should have done it at 14:01

  15. Sjaugen
    • 8 Years

    Bellerin is no Kolarov

  16. Optimus.
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    I'm glad Liverpool didn't get Sanchez now

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Between him and Sturridge yous would have more wages in the training room than on the pitch

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      😯
      Liverpool only got the one physio table then!

    3. RÏɠBY
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      they'd have kept him fit
      curry sauce on the chips

  17. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Arsenal will never win the league under Wenger. He just doesn't know how to manage his players well.

    1. bodgejob
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah because he didn't manage his players well when they won the league unbeaten

  18. Relaxing
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Alexis taken off at 59:58, fine margins

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Just feck it!!!

    2. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Wenger should have held up his medical team

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Early captain debate.

    Kane?.
    Ozil?
    Kaku??

    I think Kane

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Ozil stands out. Maybe kaku

    2. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yup probably Kane for me too

  20. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez out conundrum 😐

    For me its between Silva,Hazard or Barkley

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard?? Did he play well today?

    2. Barryyuen
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      KDB?

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Same as me except couninho is an option aswel

  21. KeepCalm
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez to Hazard! Done

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Interesting differential.

  22. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez -> Ozil no brainer yes?

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      aye

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      That's what I'm thinking with a midfield of:

      Sanchez | KDB | Mahrez | Mané | Deulofeu
      Lukaku | Ighalo | Vardy

      Ozil the best option given I already have city cover in KDB?

  23. Littlefish92
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    could be time to get silva for my team with sanchez looking to be out and lukaku for kane is one too

  24. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    That looked like a grade 4 tear to me. Could tell by his gait as he walked off.....

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It's obviously Grade 3 you pleb.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        This

    2. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Obvious from how is left eye blinked as well.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He'll be playing keepy uppy on the team bus.

    4. Paulie Walnuts
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      What does that mean in terms of time off

    5. The Enlightener
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      What tipped me off was when he looked down at the ground at one point and then looked back up.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        He wouldn't have done that if it were anything other than a grade 4, that's for sure.

  25. Chris_White
    • 12 Years

    Gomis on!!

    Oh wait, it isn't August...

    Sanchez-> Hazard, YAY OR NAY?

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

  27. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    Clyne 2 BAPS 🙂

    1. Jax
      • 14 Years

      Not over yet

  28. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Seriously, what the feck is up with this season? What changed?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero and Hazard can't be relied on.

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Sure, but Sanchez and Cedric off on 59, countless captaincy fails, average players scoring week in week out, dead teams in the top 10k... how long can this continue?

  29. Barryyuen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Why the sudden love for Hazard? KDB the safer bet?

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      BOU next

    2. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      People already have KDB and Ozil otherwise they'd get them in an instant.
