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

      Most probably mate. Two Watford players in midfield is a bit much.

    So, hypothetically speaking, if you were on WC and 150 points behind your ML who was in the top 20, would you, hypothetically;

    A) Concede that you are unlikely to salvage anything and copy their team
    B) Make minor tweaks in the hope you can claw something back I.e Coutinho instead of Firmino, Rose instead of Walker, Bellerin instead of Kosc.
    C) Go hell for leather and have a team of differentials

        They can't put a foot wrong at the moment though. WCed last week so have every player I'd consider, with the exception of Son.

        Hypothetically, of course.

        I have a theory that Ibra has suffered from Rooney being dropped last 2 games, any takers?

            True his stats are still impressive, I do think Rooney made a different when he came on against Stoke though. I reckon he won't be benched again.
