Dugout Discussion

Sunday Dugout Discussion

Sunday delivers a double header of lip-smacking ties, as old rivals United and Liverpool clash at Old Trafford, whilst Arsenal host City in the four o’clock kick-off. With a host of big Fantasy assets on show, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch the real-time yelps and cries as events unfold.

The team news for the lunchtime kick-off finds Sir Alex Ferguson opting for the experienced pairing of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand at the back, with Jonny Evans reportedly missing out with a hamstring problem. Elsewhere in the United lineup, Danny Welbeck is drafted in, along with Shinji Kagawa as Antonio Valencia and the rather unfortunate Javier Hernandez drop to the bench.

Visitors Liverpool make just one change: Joe Allen comes into the midfield with Jordan Henderson dropping out. Andre Wisdom again occupies the right-back role, then, with Glen Johnson deployed at left-back. Both Daniel Sturridge and the returning Fabio Borini find places on the bench.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      If Diaby is fit, this is good news for them imo. Diaby Wilshere Santi has much more balance. With all due respect to Mikel.

    My bet for today is a fiver at 33/1 on a yes/no bet in the Man Utd Liverpool game. I have gone for:

    1. Will van Persie score? Yes
    2. Will Liverpool score in the 2nd half? Yes
    3. Will United be leading after 60 minutes? Yes
    4. Will there be twelve or more corners? No
    5. Will there be a red card, penalty or a hat trick? Yes
    6. Will there be four or more minutes of added time? No

    Looking okay so far!

          Nope, they're only talking about how many minutes are on the board at the end of the second half. Doesn't even matter how many are actually played.

        not entirely correct

        "In the summer transfer window for the 2011/12 season Comolli helped Liverpool FC sign Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing, Doni, José Enrique, Sebastián Coates and Craig Bellamy.

        On 12 April 2012 Comolli left Liverpool by mutual consent.[19] He stated that he left due to family reasons but rumours have circulated that he may have been sacked as a result of failings in the transfer market"
