Wolves (h) pre-match thread

[GX Blue]

On my way to the airport now. Should be a good atmosphere and a big chance to see my local hero Ilkay tonight. Many people asked why I’m flying over for this match. It’s a City match so that’s the reason. Every match counts. Can’t do Napoli next week so I have to do this one. MCFCOK

Its pissing it down.
Its cold.
Its the League Cup.
Its Wolves.
Its our second string.

So you should fly over for this cracker!!! ;-)
Well played mate!

Wolves made 8 changes in the previous round against Southampton I expect the same tonight from them they also have bigger fish to fry.
Personally want to see 3-5-2 tonight.....

Bravo
Stones
Tosin
Manga
Danilo
Zinchenko
Yaya
Gundo
Bernardo
Sterling
Aguero

Get the game won and take aguero and stones off. Looking forward to it though wolves fans will make it a good atmosphere. I know it's a shit Cup but I'll never turn my nose up at a day out at Wembley

I did think about it rammy but I thought yaya looked old and overweight again at the weekend? wolves will at least be full of energy tonight and yaya shouldn't just get a game because of who he is and because its a cup game? to be honest I`m sure he will play but I wouldn't pick him just for the sake of it.

Well if he cannot get a game tonight he may as well be sold/given away in January. What would be the point in keeping him? Agree
he is well past his best but if he is in the squad he has to be able to step up when required due to injuries/suspensions.

 

[york away to this!]

If only I had the technical know-how to post a GIF of a babbling brook...

Looking ever more likely that Zinchenko will get game time at some point tonight, best of luck to the lad its a great chance for him to show what he is capable of against decent opposition.

You've sold it to me.

And for any one travelling back to Wilmslow, only one direct train so will be more rammed than usual. All the others have part of the route by bus, could be a long one.
To the bar it is then after the game :)

I think Pep is looking at the next three games which are of far more importance than this fixture so Bravo, Yaya, Mangala,Tosin, Danilo, Zinchenko will play. I expect him to wrap delph up in cotton wool because losing him to injury in a fixture like this is reckless. Aguero is getting back his match fitness and Jesus could probably get away with 30 mins (If only we had Sanchez). Gundogan see Aguero but I think he will be given full 90. Sterling could play given he was not on duty against Burnley which still leave 2 spots for the academy lads. Who fills the subs bench I have no idea.

Cannot see Guardiola fielding them all in the same defence, so I suspect Stones will start alongside Mangala.

His 'each game as it come mentality' makes me think we'll field a fairly strong eleven again tonight. I only expect to see Zinchenko start and maybe, just maybe, have another kid on the bench, but I suspect the likes of Gundogan, Danilo, Toure, Mangala, and maybe even Aguero, to play the full ninety.

If we wish to progress in this competition it is imperative Ederson Santana de Moraes starts ahead of Bravo.

"every match counts". Top stuff - you're so right. If City are playing, we need to be there.

 

[Jazzman]

I hope we will see a good performance from our second string tonight. We need to keep up the competition for the starting 11.

 

[johnnytapia]

Same team that beat Burnley. All out for every game. They can put their feet up in June.

 

[tiggsywiggsywoo]

We don't need this competition and neither do Wolves. Anything could happen. Injury free ninety minutes is a result in my eyes.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

We're on Bein, Channel 7 (if you can wangle it)

Disappointed that Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz aren't in this, I must say.

 

[Gray]

We handed the League Cup to the Scum last season, I don't think it is high on Pep's list of priorities.

Expect a strange eleven to turn out whilst Wolves will play a strong team, going to be a long evening.

thing is that's well and good on paper but simply wont work in reality given the way we play.

 

[Henkeman]

I'm sure it's not the highest on the list of priorities, but a home draw to a Championship side means that City can rotate with a good chance of still winning. And if so it's then the quarter final. When you get to that point the possibility of a trophy is obviously there. And Guardiola hasn't won anything at City yet, so I'm sure he'd like to. Not the most important no, but there are only four trophies a season to go for.

On a personal level, given 35 years of winning bugger all, and dreaming of a League Cup win, the day I dismiss this tournament as irrelevant, then I've lost something.
