Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Middlesbrough

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.

    Will take that Lukaku goal, and rightly so, in place of a Baines stolen clean sheet. Lee Mason continues to prove himself as one of the most horrific referees in the Prem.

        Lee Mason isn't cut out to referee in the top league. Never has been.

      Negredo's head hit Stekelenburg's hand and jarred the ball loose.

      Keeper needs to be stronger in those situations. Get in the gym and strengthen those forearms!

    I'm going to take the high ground here and say that its not possible to determine whether Lukaku touched it or not from the footage we have. If this this is the case then he should keep the goal.

    I'm a Bolasie owner who transferred Friend > Baines this week.

    Loving life.

    That`s it. Lukaku staying in my team.

    Gray --> Aguero for FT
    Hazard --> under 7,7 (maybe Cazorla) I have also Barkley, Lamela, Antonio and Capoue

    This is for 2 FT. I have also WC. And the next week Barkley out. Good plan?
