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.

    If Negredo doesn't touch the ball, how is it not a foul?!

    I guess the burning question for me is now do I keep Sanchez or sell? Don't really have any other player I could sell to bring Kun in 😐

    Chadli 21pts, haha, what on earth.

    Delighted with a midfield three of Sterling (13), Snoddy (9) and Antonio (7) but need Kane (c) to step up as plenty around me have Kelechi or Sanchez captain.

    Anyone getting Chadli on wildcard??

    Chadli instead of Antonio frees up valuable funds....

    Is Antonio's streak sustainable?

        Impossible for the ref to see whether Negrado hit the ball or not. The wrong decision, but not a terrible mistake.

      On a WC and have this so far:

      Heaton Jaku
      Valencia Williams Evans Amat Holebas
      Sterling Sanchez Antonio Firminho Capoue
      Kun Lukaku Deeney.

      Thoughts?

      Worried about the attack and no Utd attacking coverage but tough to get everyone in.

      How can that not be given as a foul when Negredo didn't even touch the ball?

      No goal or assist for Negredo. Should be assist for the crosser.
