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.

    Spurs looked better when Janssen came on apparently, is he close to being nailed?

      He replaced Dier when Spurs were chasing. I'm doubt if he will beat any of Kane, Eriksen, Alli, and Lamela for being the nailed starter.

      He's a plan B. Everton were just defending really well, like in Rooney's testimonial, Spurs needed another striker.

      Doubt he'll start against Palace.

    Seriously I've never seen so many people obsessing over a person (ville ronke) honestly. Ville ronke does this, he did that , so tactical . Shouldn't we all focus on how to improve on our own game rather than worry over his all the time.

    How did his team do though 😉
