Dugout Discussion

Spare a thought for Mike Phelan.

Already the Hull City caretaker manager seems to be unfurling the white flag, even before Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez get their first run at his patched-up defence.

The first Dugout Discussion of the Premier League season could witness one of the most one-sided opening fixtures in memory.

Champions Leicester turn up at the KCOM Stadium off the back of the FA Community Shield defeat to Manchester United but surely still brimming with confidence and optimism following the triumphant campaign.

Certainly they bring plenty of talent and pace – heightened by the presence of Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray on their teamsheet. That might just prove too much, even for a spirited Hull City showing.

Stranger things have happened, though. Just ask Claudio Ranieri.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Vardy has been scary so far. Haven't ever own him ever yet

    1. Rupert The Horse

      What, ever?

    It only took one year for him to stop scoring with every bloody shot.

    1. Piggs Boson

      His goal conversion rate was unsustainable.

    would be painful if it wasnt funny. last season im punished by not owning him, this year its the reverse. gah.

    Mahrez looks shocking...

  11. The Tinkerman

    Vardy should have a brace. Rusty.

    1. Mumble Pie
      • 14 Years

      So many of the teams will be rusty... Takes time

    Vardy getting chance after chance. Will probably get a goal or two before this game ends. Shame he hasn't scored one of those though

  14. Telpuialion

    Leicester just getting into the groove. Hull look like they already want the game to end. Second half is gonna be all leicester, isn't it?

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Gray looks weak on LM for Leicester.

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Selling Vardy asap after this abysmal performance

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He'll score second half IMHO.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Not if he keeps missing open goals

    2. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Straight to Kane for me even though I have Alli. Kane Alli double up could be gold. Hopefully he scores 2 second half though.
