Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Middlesbrough

17 September 2016 5055 comments

Saturday’s events come to a close at Goodison Park with Ronald Koeman’s upwardly mobile Everton side hosting Middlesbrough.

Frankly, this match is all about Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian exploded a dramatic 11-minute hat-trick just six days ago at Sunderland and heads into the tea-time encounter backed by almost 250,000 new owners, with 6% handing him the captaincy.

Koeman’s side will be bidding for a fourth straight victory and a third consecutive clean sheet.

Middlesbrough’s task looks tough, then, having suffered a home reverse in Gameweek 4 at the hands of Crystal Palace.

Alvaro Negredo goes into the contest desperate for a goal having blanked in his last three. Having soared early on as a Fantasy Premier League transfer target, he’s been hemorrhaging owners for the past three Gameweeks, losing 164,000 heading into Friday’s deadline.

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

      No. Foster to Heaton a waste. Would rather have Foster.

      Holebas won't live much past this one week hype. He plays for a side that will not be solid defensively.

      Chadli. Knee jerk eat your heart out. West Brom won't score four every week. Most weeks they struggle to score one.

    So, wildcarers, what are we looking at from this game? For me...

    - Lukaku: Own him already, but worth keeping him over Ibra or as part of a Big 3 front?
    - Bolasie - Possible 3rd mid enabler of a Big 3 front?
    - Who's on pens? Easier to ditch Lukaku if Baines is still on them.
