Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Leicester

10 September 2016 2447 comments

Saturdays’s events conclude at Anfield when Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will host champions Leicester City.

The big teamsheet news is that Klopp has made the decision to keep Philippe Coutinho on the bench, despite flying him back early from international duty with Brazil. That allows Daniel Sturridge to earn a second start of the season, whilst Lucas has to come into to central defence with Dejan Lovren ruled out with an injury sustained in training.

Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City are unchanged as they bid to build on their 2-1 win over Swansea City in Gameweek 3. There’s no place on the bench for new signing Islam Slimani.

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

    17 points.. Slick!

    Got to stay strong though, should save a transfer with Townsend or Redmond at home next week instead of getting Antonio/Payet/Mane in. Patience is a virtue they say..

    7.1 in the bank burning a hole in my pocket, but I think the two frees will be beneficial in a weeks time.

    So to all those struggling like myself, and yes money is a factor, but with European fixtures starting now, may be better to stand firm for now.

    Still gutted about United not showing up for the 1st half today. City played really well and could've won more. Silva and KdB were class. Anything fantasy wise to learn from this match? Personally, I am still unsure about the City defense.

      Evans (WBA defence are solid under pulis)

      or

      Holebas (playing out of position and attacking a lot more)

      so Evans if you prefer CS & Holebas if you prefer attacking return.

      I have both

    Lads, I have one question for you.
    Would you take a hit for Aguero > Lukaku and Ramirez > Antonio?
    Don't mind first -4 this season and I expect nice price rises for both of them. I know Lukaku hasn't played yet and could get injured but I'm gonna do it today or not at all. If everything goes wrong I'll just use my wildcard. Would appreciate any feedback.

      A bit late for Agüero to Lukaku. A lot of folks here including me will bring Agüero in next week.

      But yes for Ramirez to Antonio.

        I know. I waited until last minute and missed the deadline. I can't get Antonio without selling Aguero or someone else. Thanks for reply!

      I would do it , not the worst thing to happen if you have to lose your wild card this GW. But keep money itb for Aguero back (or lose Ibra)

      Guess that's really Capoue (MUN)/Ramirez (eve) vs. Lukaku (MID)/Antonio (wba). Then Aguero back in.
      I wouldn't bother with Aguero now, but maybe if the only way to fund anything and ready for risk of another -4 if something else comes up between now and then.

        I'd sell Vardy for Aguero and probably change a few other players who simply must go. Thank you!
