Sunday Dugout Discussion

There’s just one Premier League fixture on this Easter Sunday, as Arsenal visit the Reebok Stadium. With title rivals Manchester United and Chelsea both securing three points yesterday, this of course falls into the ‘must win’ category for the Gunners.

As for Bolton, the 43 points they’ve already accrued this season means that they don’t really have a lot to play for. However, after suffering a major humiliation at Wembley last week, it’s perhaps pride more than anything else that’s at stake for the home side.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open, and the team news is in…

Bolton XI: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Cahill, Knight, Robinson, Lee, Elmander, Muamba, Taylor, Sturridge, Kevin Davies

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregas, Nasri, van Persie

The Wanderers welcome back in-form striker Daniel Sturridge, who was cup-tied for the Stoke game, and Matty Taylor earns a start in midfield. Jack Wilshere comes back in after being rested in the North London derby, with Abou Diaby making way.

    Cahill given the assist that can't be right

      If Sturridge gets the goal, Cahill gets the assist.

        Shouldn't do if it comes off the defender but they do randomly award them sometimes.

      Unusual, they normaly only give them if it comes back off the keeper. Can't see the difference though myself and I thinks it's correct.

      They do this sometimes. Cuellar was given an assist last year (or year before maybe) in the same circumstances and that stood.

    I can't figure out if rvp scoring would be good or bad for me. I don't have him as cap and I figure a fair few do.

          Yeah but it's only a certain group that can affect my rank. People ranked way above or way below me won't affect it so I suppose it depends how many people have him cap compared to how many don't own him in the vicinity of my ranking. Does that make any sense?

      Think some of this is a bit unfair. He's also got that "I'm good at football me" jog in his locker. Arms up by your sides like you're holding braces, cockney swagger, baby steps - it's almost like watching a young Frank Lampard.

    Some of the things Sturridge does are really impressive. His passing especially is outstanding, hopefully he can carry this form into next season.

      Do you think he will get starts for Chelsea though? I'm not sure...

      Maybe Bolton should have him on loan for 1 more season just to be on the safe side

      I really think him and Torres could be a threat upfront for us next season.

      But I doubt Carlo would have the grapefruits to play them together.

        It depends if Carlo is still the manager next season, and also what we do in the summer if we spend a lot then he probably won't but if we do not bring in a lot of players and sell Anelka and possibly Drogba then I would have thought he will.

        I reckon Carlo is more likely to give him a chance next season than a new manager as it is a bit of a risk so a new manager would be less willing to take it.

        They need to play torres on his own to get the best out of him. They should sell drogba and anelka, replace them with a creative centre mid and 1 or 2 creative wide players and use sturridge as back up striker

    Anyone who says it was not Sturridge that scored that goal you know that goal will have a gypsy curse upon their head and will suffer more than they believed possible in quick time. If the ref blew after Sturridge popped the ball in its a goal to Sturridge and any muppet that says otherwise as I am sure many will over the next few pages and beyond will suffer a gypsy curse because because its the Gypsy way - Penalty!!!!!!!
