Dugout Discussion

24 March 2012 3780 comments

Akers

A pivotal Premier League game kicks off Gameweek 30, with Champions League qualification on the line. The Dugout Discussion opens as 5th placed Chelsea host 4th placed Tottenham. A rare win for the visitors today (no win at Stamford Bridge since 1990) would not only stop the rot, but also go a long way to sealing their berth in Europe’s elite competition. The team sheets from Stamford Bridge are in, and are as follows…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Mata, Sturridge, Drogba.
Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto, Modric, Parker, Sandro, Bale, Van der Vaart, Adebayor.

A host of changes for Chelsea sees Branislav Ivanovic, David Luiz, Raul Meireles and Fernando Torres all dropped to the bench. In come Jose Bosingwa, captain John Terry, Daniel Sturridge and Didier Drogba.

Harry Redknapp is boosted by the return of Emmanuel Adebayor, who starts with Rafael Van der Vaart at the expense of Louis Saha. Elsewhere, William Gallas and Sandro replace Ledley King (not in squad) and Niko Kranjcar.

Following that we’ve got another seven games to pour over, finishing at the Britannia Stadium where Manchester City will be looking to go back to the summit of the league, if only for one night.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom will stay open throughout the day, and can be accessed right here.

Just out of curiosity, was there were ever a Djourou bandwagon on here last season? Didn't use FFS then. At one point I got him in at about 4.2m and he did very well for my FPL team. Went on a run of clean sheets and in his final game in my team was kind enough to score a goal before going off injured in that 4-4 against Newcastle.

I don't rate him as a player but all this hate that's come up for him since the Kos injury news brought back fond memories.

    Can't remember but I'm fairly sure I sold him because he was ruled out injured for a while. Maybe the game I'm referring to isn't when I sold him.

Cup tie conundrum. Who will win 🙂

Me: Bale (3 points), Dempsey, Simpson, Vorm

Him: Miyachi, Ridgewell, Baines, Bogdan

It's very tight, I think even one of those players scoring could swing it either way

Classic from the BBC live update web page

1508:

Tottenham forward Rafael van der Vaart following his team's 1-1 draw at Chelsea: "It's a good point for us. We had lost the last few games so it was a good performance. It wasn't the best game. I have to score the chance I had, it was simple. Normally I would score but that is part of being a footballer. We have confidence we can finish in the top four."
