GW 8 - Matchday Thread

Why would you bring in Januzaj and bench him for the home game when he is most likley to start? Southampton will concede, they are about 10/1 to repeat what they did at Liverpool and win to nil. And a 0-0 draw is about 7/1. So based on this, United are big favourites to score. Benching Januzaj is a crazy move imo.

Jan signs new contract with Utd, hopefully top it off today with another brace

Is this true? If so YESSSS!!!!! Best news I've heard in a while

Yep, I see 2 or 3 nil to United. These runs always come to an end and I would be amazed if United don't pop 1 or 2 past them.

HBA starts and Johson starts for Pool

Lets not get carried away tho. The lad scored just his first senior goals last time out. He's not even guaranteed to start (and you know how Moyes is anyway!). and they're up against the stingiest defence in the league. like yourself i think United will win, 1-0 is the shortest price with the bookies, so that tells you something, i can't see it being a high-scoring affair unless there's an early sending-off or something

no Lucas!

Confirmed team:

Mignolet, Johnson, Toure, Skrtel, Sakho, Cissokho, Hendo, Stevie, Moses, Sturridge, Suarez.

3 monsters in central defence. no Enrique either. this game usually serves up goals anyway (benched Mig in favour of Bego)

Yeah of course, I just think this weekend is his best chance to play a full game, and regardless of their decent start it's still Southampton. The wheels will come off at some stage. I would definitely have played him.

Who did you start ahead of him?

Eriksen. Spurs have beaten Villa 4-0 last two times, don't expect that to happen again!, but just thought he's a better option than Jan this week. as ever, we will see

Spurs will be eager to put on a show today after their capitulation against West Ham.

Eriksen hasn't done great so far but I have to agree that I wouldn't bench an 8m midfielder for a wonder kid not guaranteed a starting place.

Yeah Eriksen is a good shout, I'd have played him. Must have a strong team if it was between those two!

Just looking at my rival's teams. It would appear Everton defenders and Ramsey are my main worries. Michu is a big differential. I'm off out to watch the football and have a few cocktails... good luck all!

Newcastle: Krul; Debuchy,Yanga-Mbiwa, Williamson, Santon; Cabaye, Tiote, Sissoko; Gouffran, Ben Arfa, Remy

Subs: Elliot, Dummett, Anita, Obertan, Sammy Ameobi, Shola Ameobi, Cisse

Ben Arfa back in. I took him out for Oscar. Would have left him in and took out Collins if I'd known he'd get his position back.

I still think he'll do well come the season's end.
