The Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

Saturday’s events conclude at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace host Jurgen Klopp’s buoyant Liverpool side.

Goals certainly look on the agenda – Palace are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Klopp’s defence are without a shut-out on the road in ten away trips.

Christian Benteke will carry the Eagles’ threat against his former club, while Liverpool’s likely benefactors are far more difficult to pin down.

Philippe Coutinho heads into the encounter having earned more than 174,000 transfers in as the most popular target ahead of Gameweek 10.

However, James Milner won’t be featuring on the scoresheet: he misses out having missed training this week with a virus. Alberto Moreno comes in at left-back for the visitors – a potential weak point that will no doubt be targeted by Alan Pardew’s men.

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

    According to Wiki, Gundogan played 105 matches and scored 10 goals for Dortmund.

    Stats suggest that he is not much attacking. But He has already scored 5 goals in his 8 games at City.

    Better to get him now for good run of fixtures and price rise ... or ... continue monitoring him ?

    Does anyone think that Man Citys recent dodgy performances seem to be anything to do with the fact that KDB has had reduced pitch time ? It was the same last year when he got injured, they fell to pieces after that but had been flying when he was playing regularly.

        I'm mostly referring to their goal output, he seems to create so much and when he isn't in the team the goals seem to dry up.

    This is my defence:

    Cameron //minor injury
    Holebas //4 yellows
    Smith //4 yellows
    Amat //potentially out of the first team
    Valencia // injured

    Trying to justify a hit for Valencia,
    already doing Son to KDB this week.

    Thinking of getting in Coutinho for Sterling but needs to act now. However nagging me that my front 3 needs addressing too.

    A Sterling > Coutinho

    People are being very hasty by taking Walcott out, let's not forget his run before his 3 point haul last week and him missing out due to injury this week. The main reason people are giving is fixtures but he's scored in his only 2 big matches this season (Don't count Leicester as a big team), which were Liverpool and Chelsea. People could regret this one and I'd certainly Sterling out before him as he's now 2/3 pointed in his last 4 weeks & he's no Aguero, so no special dispensation for him. The other factor is Giroud returning, but that's far more likely to affect Iwobi and Sanchez (may move out to the wing) than him, although there may be a rotation risk but we'll see.

    Is Gundgan nailed on? He's very generously priced at £5.4m, which puts him in direct competition with the likes of Allen & Capoue and he's far more likely to get goals and assists than those 2.

      I wouldn't say far more likely. Stats over the last 6GW's are very similar to Allen.

        I'm looking from the perspective of teams they play for, City will score a lot more goals than Stoke, so purely on that alone he'll get a lot more goals and assists, plus he may price rise, so I'd be very hesitant to leave it.

          Allen playing 10 i think this seasons stats are all we have to go on! I think he could easily be a season keeper if u have a cheapish 3rd striker to rotate

    In: Smith £4.8m, Gundogan £5.4m, Firmino £8.5m
    Out: Valencia £5.5m, Allen £4.9m, Sterling £8.3m

    Yes or No?

    Gundogan is brilliant value if he's nailed and trumps Allen imo, City will also score a lot more goals than Stoke.

      No way. I am planning on getting Foster in instead of Heaton with 4 out of his next 6 extremely solid. Not guaranteed Burnley will keep clean sheets and get all those save points against weaker opposition.
