The Dugout Discussion – West Ham United vs Arsenal

3 December 2016 3023 comments

A dramatic Saturday comes to its conclusion as West Ham United take on Arsenal at the London Stadium.

All eyes are on the Gunners’ Alexis Sanchez as he looks for a fourth double-figure haul on the road.

Having scored twice against Bournemouth last week, the Chilean headed into Gameweek 14 just one point off the top of the Fantasy Premier League standings.

An injury to Philippe Coutinho has prompted new interest in Theo Walcott – the wide man earned more transfers in than any player last week after notching his sixth of the season against Eddie Howe’s side.

The search for a new midfielder means we’ll also be monitoring the display of Dimitri Payet, with the Hammers’ schedule taking a turn for the better from Gameweek 16 onwards.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    words can't describe how pissed I am with myself for swapping alexis to hazard two weeks back. Looked at the next two fixtures and thought alexis will smash him. Then started poking around in statistics and nti's. W hich is not how I play the game. 10 years and I still struggle to back myself and still play with fear

    Conte says Costa is not injured, but came off because he was very tired. "I think and hope he can recover for the next game."

    Manager says player NOT injured. Flagged. Again.

        Sadly for current players nobody ever believes they're as good as players from the past. That applies for every player from every generation.

        In ten years time they'll talk of Sanchez in the same breath as the likes of Henry, Gazza and Shearer.
