Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Sunderland

Attentions now turn to the Etihad where Pep Guardiola makes his Premier League bow.

David Moyes’ Sunderland are the guests and potential party poopers, although the odds do seem stacked against them.

The Black Cats are in transition under their new manager, while City boast such attacking riches there can be no doubt that they head into today’s clash as overwhelming favourites.

Expectant Fantasy managers will be looking to Sergio Aguero to capitlise – the Argentine heads into the teatime kick-off as the most popular captain choice in the Gameweek and with over 40% ownership.

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

    Happy so far with Redmond, Lamela and Aguero (C). Looking forward to Zlatan a lot more now that Kane and Vardy blanked

    Can anyone give me a quick summary of Spurs?

    How did Alli and Kane look?
    Did Lamela actually look dangerous besides his goal?

      Alli Kane were average but Everton defended really well today. Lamela done well. But Spurs played so much better once Jansen came on.

      imho Alli look isolated and pretty lost

      Kane not getting enough supply to provide a decent threat (if any). Shifted to the left to accommodate Jansen but still not looking dangerous at all. Poor game by both of them in short, but Kane's staying in my team for now

      Lamela for me was very bad besides his one goal and another goal-scoring chance - didn't really connect with the rest of his teammates

    After being at goodison today; very happy i chose Eriksen over Alli. Alli was sacrificied into the pivot when Dier was replaced by Janssen and he didn't get into many goalscoring opportunities. Although Lamela scored it was the only chance he got and he wasn't getting into many good positions during the game; i don't expect him to get many more this season. Deulofeu was sharp and should of had a goal but as expected, ran out of gas early in the second half and was substituted. Barkley is one to watch. Expect another tough challenge trying to break WBA at the Hawthornes next week. up the ev.

      Also forgot to add, Kane dropped deep when Janssen came on and turned into more of a creator. Janssen was doing all the closing down and played quite well after coming on, dangerous.

      Cheers mate.

      But I don't see Alli dropping deep again unless Spurs are trailing and HAVE to sub off Dier.
