Sunday Dugout Discussion

Yesterday’s slim fantasy pickings has undoubtedly heaped the pressure on today’s four Premier League games to deliver. The Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through them all, starting at White Hart Lane with Tottenham Hotspur versus Liverpool and culminating in Chelsea’s visit to champions Manchester United.

In and amongst those back-to-back games, two of our Europa League representatives, Stoke City and Fulham, take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and Manchester City at Craven Cottage respectively.

The “Super Sunday” opener kicks-off shortly, and here are the all-important team sheets…

Tottenham XI: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Parker, Modric, Bale, Adebayor, Defoe.

Liverpool XI: Reina, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Jose Enrique, Henderson, Lucas, Adam, Downing, Suarez, Carroll.

Catching the eye are the big strike-partnerships both sides have named. Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor continue upfront for Spurs, whilst Liverpool’s Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll start together for only the second time in the league this season.

Another headline is the return (to the substitutes bench at least) of Rafael van der Vaart, and it’s worth remembering he is not in Spurs’ Europa League squad.

Feast or famine, the Dugout Discussion chatroom will be here for you all day.

      He gets on my nerves calling players by their first names, if he says 'John', 'Ashley' or 'Wayne' once more I'm turning it off.

    I'm a bit stuck for next GW. 2 free transfers. Any suggestions welcome:

    Given (Vorm)
    Bosingwa, Enrique, Simpson (Brown, DeLaet)
    Young, Silva, Tabraat, Moses, (N Dyer)
    RVP, Rooney(c), Dzeko

    Don't want to lose a free transfer but struggling to see a good transfer

      Aguero in for Dzeko, and whatever you have to do in midfield to get the cash for it.

      Dzeko for Ade. Also Tabraat has some difficult fixtures coming up. He was worth a punt against opening fixtures but has failed to project enough. I just wild carded and got rid of him.

        May get Augero later as am happy with Dzeko for now due to his price. Moses actually has a very good threat level so surely will score soon but his days are numbered.

        Perhaps DeLaet to someone? Is Gabbidon injured? 2 Swansea seems overkill but why not?

      Dzeko > Ade since u have Silva already. Means you can upgrade somewhere else.

      How about Adebayor for Dzeko? Tottenham have a nice run of games going on (even Arsenal and I'm suprised if Adebyaor can't score in North London Derby) and Adebayor seems to be making results.
