Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Hull vs Leicester

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.

    I think I'm going to stick with Vardy even he doesn't score.
    He's got a point to prove now.

      Not on pens is a big blow as an FPL asset.

            As long as he's not moved to a winger position, I'm pretty sure he'll get a decent amount of points.

        Not if you always planned to bring in Kane for Vardy after gw1.

        At the end of the day do whatever you want with your team people. 😉

        Honestly La Liga has been better for a few seasons now with PL hitting rock bottom last season...this year might change though, a lot of elite players added and PL is on the way up.

      Juve lost to Udinese at home in the first Serie A game last season. Udinese had barely avoided relegation 2014/2015, and were saved by just one point 2015/2016.

      Just one example of why this is not _only_ in the PL.
