Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – West Brom vs Liverpool

The first of two Saturday fixtures gets underway at 12.30 as West Bromwich Albion welcome Liverpool to the Hawthorns.

Today’s big teamsheet news sees Roberto Firmino drop out of the visitors’ starting line-up, although Jurgen Klopp keeps faith in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane elsewhere in the front three.

With his Golden Boot tussle against Harry Kane going right to the wire, Salah goes in search of a fifteenth double-figure haul of the season today.

The Baggies’ backline, meanwhile, have managed just a single shutout in their last 11 attempts.

Mane also boasts fine form for today’s early kick-off, with four goals and three assists in the Reds’ previous seven league outings.

The Merseysiders arrive on the back of a series of resilient showings, conceding just five times in 12 matches across all competitions.

Jay Rodriguez looks the man most likely to breach the visitors’ defence, having scored in three of the last four Gameweeks – including last Sunday’s winner at Old Trafford.

        Interesting. Wenger said he’ll play a similar team to Thursday didn’t he?

        Would probably suit me better though as I have a full bench whereas most don’t.

  7. Sim Simma

      Do you realise how pathetic you sound

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Do you ever say anything nice?

        1. Ibralicious

          His name is call of duty, of course not 😉

    this ref is a joke

    1. Lets Talk About 19 Baby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Ref was a toss pot. Dawson taking Ings out stone wall penalty.
      Hegazi better get a ban for his whack on Ings and slapping Salah in the face.

    You wonder why WBA had to wait till GW35 to show any passion.

    They deserved to be relegated for all that Tony Pullis football through the years. Disgusting football for years

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      The most relegation deserving thing they did was hiring Alan Pardew.

  26. CloudSky
