    Sanchez although tempted by Hazard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,174 ✭✭✭pimpmyhat


    Most Likely sanchez


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,503 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Likely Costa if he gets the nod.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,560 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Sanchez


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭tailgunner


    Tempted by Pedro.

    Hazard


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Probably go with Sanchez myself, though Kane on the back of a hatrick up against an awful City defense is tempting

    Hazard (without Costa playing) looks the best option but I don't have him.

    I'll be looking at Sanchez but if Giroud is going to play then I'll captain Lallana.

    Options up between Alonso, Hazard, Sanchez and Ibra but it's down to a 3 way shootout between the two middle-men for me. Probably Hazard on pens as I feel an explosion is due!

    Pens are huge when playing Hull.

    10 penalties conceded in 21 games must be a record.

    Double down on Aguero. He has to score.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,404 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Costa if he's back, San(C)hez otherwise


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    It's Aguero Day but having him might be more than enough :o

    Likely to be Sanchez!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC

    Likely to be Sanchez!

    Read an interesting piece last night about Agueros failure to score vs high pressing teams. He routed Poch in his first season twice but since the press has bedded in has failed to score in 4 attempts vs Spurs.

    The Aguero v Spurs thing is dead.

    Sanchez and Hazard vice..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    I'm on auto pilot mode with captaining Sanchez these days

    Working for me too, so will stick with it

    Sanchez.
    Burnley away are the polar opposite of Burnley at home and if Giroud is missing he will be playing up front.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 738 ✭✭✭at9qu5vp0wcix7


    My head tells me Sanchez, my heart tells me Ibra :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭bantee


    Is the Hazard pick % lower due to a lot of teams downgrading him for Pedro lately? I have Hazard & Sanchez and I'm leaning to Haz as I think Hull is the easier fixture.
    With question marks over Giroud & Costa, both these guys could be playing up top. It's a tough call.

    I think if i had Hazard i'd captain him. But his ownership among serious players has definitely gone down recently


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,503 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    I don't have Hazard. Sanchez would be an easy choice ahead of him if I had. Costa is the only competition for Sanchez in my eyes but I'd only do that if it was 100% confirmed he'd start.

    Burnley have stopped leaking a lot of goals away lately, even though they are still losing. I'd look at the Hull defence as being worse but I'll wait on news on both Costa/Giroud before final decision.

    This is true Burnley have improved a lot in away games the last 6 weeks or so. Up till then they were getting slaughtered in away games. I'll still be captaining Sanchez but probably would captain hazard if I had him.

    Lallana? Philips or Antonio


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 858 ✭✭✭mectavba


    I was nailed on with Sanchez, but now that Giroud (who I also have) is passed fit, I wonder...would it be a crazy gamble to put it on Giroud? He scored or assisted 75% of Arsenal's goals since he is back in the team. I just wonder will he start on the bench if he is carrying an injury.

    I'm looking at Phillips.

    Sunderland have only conceded less than 2 once since October away from home.

    West Brom have scored 3 or more in every game at home in the league since October bar one (vs. United).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,469 ✭✭✭P.Walnuts


    I can't help but feel captaining Costa shape the rest of my season, if Conte hints at all that he will play I think if you still have him you have to go for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Giroud being fit is a small bit of a balls as it means Sanchez is pushed out on the wing, he'll still create a load but would rather him up front
