Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Man United

Gameweek 8 comes to its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Man United to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp’s in-form outfit seek a fifth successive win in the top-flight and could even climb to the summit if they register a victory by a margin of four or more goals.

That’s perhaps unlikely yet, having netted nine times in two matches in front of their own supporters, the Reds will be in buoyant mood tonight.

The likes of Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane will be keenly monitored by Fantasy managers as the Merseysiders prepare for a superb upcoming run of fixtures.

For United, the form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the main point of concern around these parts.

The big Swede has a single goal in five appearances and has already earned more transfers out than any other forward in the Gameweek.

Another blank and the exodus will surely pick up pace, given that Jose Mourinho then takes his side to former club Chelsea next Sunday – the Blues have chalked up back-to-back shut-outs since the switch to 3-4-3.

    A draw would be a very good result for utd, however dull it is.

      Agreed - especially given that they have pretty much had zero possession since Lallana came on.

    1. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

    Regardless of the result I have wasted 90 minutes of my life watching this Pooh

  18. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 9 Years

    is 9 points enough to see a rise in overall rank if game stays at 0-0

    1. Sjaugen
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  19. ChampChomp
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Liverpool fans chanting "you black bast@rd" or did I hear that wrong?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Doubt it

      1. ChampChomp
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe fat. Happened after Rashford collided with Milner, but thinking it was probably directed at Rooney now

    2. Shano23
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      just lol

    3. SW6
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Manc probably

    4. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You heard it wrong, the word is "fat".

    5. KingNidge
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Fat i assume was prob Rooney warming up

    6. Krul Runnings
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You Manc bas**rd

    7. Jay_
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Manc I think, directed at Ref, or fat, at Rooney

      • Ady87
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Manc not black or fat, on about the ref for giving it united away.

      • Over Midwicket

        God I hope not

    8. Ady87

      Did Bailly > Walker.

      United fan but ffs.

      On comes Roonpig

    13. Bubz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Im trying to figure out what would be better for rank. A Valencia clean sheet, or a Firmino/Mane goal...

      1. Jay_
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Firmino G, Mane A

          1. Bubz
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Well that would be nice but unlikely. I think more people have played Mane and Firmino in the top 10k than Valencia. So maybe I want him to keep the CS....

      2. Kante Be Bothered
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Penalty in 84th minute will win the game
