The Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Arsenal

Gameweek 7 comes to its conclusion as Burnley welcome Arsenal to Turf Moor.

The Gunners roll up on the back of four straight league wins, with Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott both in fine recent form.

The Chilean teed up Walcott’s pair of strikes in the midweek Champions League win over FC Basel and with three double-figure hauls in four, carries the armband hopes of many at Turf Moor.

Walcott has now notched five times in seven across all competitions and has risen to 6% ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

Another big performance today would surely kick start a bandwagon over the international break, yet Arsene Wenger’s side face an obstinate Clarets rearguard that has conceded just five goals in the previous 17 league matches in front of their own supporters.

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

    My WC decision boils down to;

    A. Payet/Coutinho and Austin
    B. Snodgrass and Lukaku

    Which one?

      Probably not, transfers always seem to slow down over international breaks. Ibra does look a busted flush at the minute though, it's madness to have 11.5m tied up in him at the minute imho.

    Not sure whether to keep Ibra or ditch for a -4. Really don't know who I'd get with Lukaku playing away to City, Costa one YC away from a suspension.

    Only option I like is Deeney based on fixtures but then I'd have triple Watford!

      I'm keeping Ibra fwiw.

      If he wasn't getting the chances I'd be concerned and get rid, however his stats are excellent and the only concern is his low conversion rate.

      Reminds me of Kane last season who was in a similar if not worse position. Kane had only one goal up to gw 7 or 8 from memory, but led in all stats for strikers. Only problem was he failed in one major area which was his conversion rate. As we know, once he improved in this area he exploded for the majority of the rest of the season.

      Before this people were writing Kane off as a one season wonder.

      I expect the same to happen with Ibra. He's too good a player not to improve his conversion rate sooner rather than later.
