Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Liverpool

Gameweek 3 gets underway in some style: on paper, the early kick-off at White Hart Lane has the makings of a classic. However, much depends on the version of the Liverpool side that turns up.

Jurgen Klopp’s men were spectacular in the season opener against Spurs’ north London rivals, Arsenal. They followed that display a week later with frustrating showing at Burnley, as they slipped to a 2-0 reverse having hogged 83% of the ball.

As for Spurs, they’ve certainly failed to spark to this point. A stalemate with Everton was followed by a stuttering display against Palace, which eventually saw them grind out a 1-0 win.

Harry Kane is back as the lone striker. Philippe Coutinho is fit and on the Liverpool teamsheet. The scene is set for the big Fantasy assets to come to the fore.

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

    Ozil starts, Cazorla starts, Sánchez is gunna eat.

    Interesting stats as far as captaincy is concerned. Ibra the favourite overall but Kun is preferred quite substantially for those in the top 10K. If Kun has the better weekend a gap is going to be produced.

    Overall
    1 Ibrahimovic MUN 34.2%
    2 Aguero MCI 31.9%

    Top 10K
    1 Aguero MCI 60.3%
    2 Ibrahimovic MUN 34.2%

      I'm ranked 1.2M so I just want points.

    I sold Sanchez this week so if he scores I'm going to be upset

    Shane Long dropped

    Mane looks knackered

    I rate Rose as close to the best left back in the premier League.

    Strong in the challenge and always gets attacking returns, but for some reason each season he'll inexplicably get benched at random even he's hitting top form.

    Lamela and Firmino battling it out for 1 bap

    1. Les Bleus
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lamela goal will change that

    2. Parm
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think Firmela would make a lovely middle name as a result of both assisting.

    3. Woy of the Wovers

      Or 2

      Gutted I got rid of Lamela and Firmino for Pogba an Ozil. Could have had 5 points from them.

        Arsenal need a striker, not sure why they didnt come in for him. Clearly unsettled.

        1. Eden Azzzar
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Arsenal have welbeck they don't need studge as well

          1. Dr. Rog
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Out until next season, may never come back after such a long injury

        2. Wurstmuncher

          Arsenal have no more hospital beds available

      Oscar starts. I want to thank all of you who convinced me not to take a hit to remove him 🙂

      In fairness to him, Lamela is running his bum off.

    • Cantona90
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ah stuck with Deulofeu as a gamble. Hopefully he comes on early enough.

      1. MTPockets
          8 years, 1 month ago

          And me. Was looking at Bojan but someone said Crouch might make that a bad move. So could (probably) have been worse.

      2. Jay_
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Choice on wildcard was:

          A: Baines Snodgrass Barkley Lukaku

          B: Williams Bolasie Mahrez Benteke

          Went with A, also sold Firmino and Lamela, so gutted right now.

            Wow missed out on 2 assists. A Barkley goal would get you back in the game plus his fixtures... Think longer term
