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.

          Yeah, not questioning that, but it's a horrendous decision not to even look at it but nonchalantly give it to player who doesn't appear to have touched the ball at all.

      2. Camp No No
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I have neither. But it's pretty clear that Lukaku didn't touch it, and if the ball somehow touched Lukaku a little (which it doesn't seem to have done), that did not affect its trajectory.

            Yup. But it's a disgrace nevertheless that opta and PL don't even seem to be about to change it. On video replay it looks much more like he misses it than that he hit it, so it's at the very least not at all clear that it's his goal. Really needs to be looked at.

    First stupid referee cost me three clean sheets and then on top of that lukaku goal.

    28 from 9 with ibra (c) and lamela to go

    Went to bed yesterday night with overall 104 rank. I just wish I don't drop out of 10k

    What could have been a great day was ruined by referee.
