Sunday Dugout Discussion

With Gareth Bale and Michu tearing up defences and delivering big returns from Saturday’s matches, there’s much anticipation ahead of Sunday’s programme. While Aston Villa’s clash with West Ham seems likely to be an edgy battle of attrition, the Old Trafford clash between United and Everton looks to have a lot going for it. Sir Alex Ferguson’s teamsheet will be of keen interest in that one, while the Toffees will be looking to repeat last season’s thrilling 4-4 draw and perhaps keep the title race interesting.

The early team news is in and sees Paul Lambert make three changes to the Villa XI, with Nathan Baker, Fabian Delph and Jordan Bowery replacing Joe Bennett, Karim El Ahmadi and Gabby Agbonlahor.

For the Hammers, Joe Cole and Emanuel Pogatetz come in for Matt Jarvis and Ricardo Vaz Te; Guy Demel is on the bench.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to provide a backdrop to the day’s action.

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

    Bale pretty certain of a price rise tonight? Needs 3,800 & has already got 7,300 today.

        Why would he be flagged, didn't see him take a knock 😕 ?

          Absolutely no reason to be flagged. Just stating that's the only thing stopping a rise!!!!

        It seems as though 50% of Bale in transfers are been accomodated by Gerrard OUT

        I'll be doing the same later 🙂

    Hoping Giggsy starts today. He's been our best winger when starting(Fergie has used him on the left more this season not centrally). I know he can't start every game but i still love watching him play. Could still teach all our wingers a lesson, or 2, or 3. So much quality in his play still. That ball to RVP in the FA cup game vs. the hammers comes to mind.
    Plus, he still has to get his customary goal 😀

    B) Michu -> Bale (and most likely go without Michu for the rest of the season)
    or
    C) Fellaini -> Bale (and forgo the luxury of 11 men!)

      But wasn't Ryan Taylor what he was because he kept scoring free kicks and getting assists while on everyone's benches. Cleansheets too. Demel nothing like that, more just a poor pick in general.
