Wolves (h) pre-match thread

[Machiavelli]

Super worry about this match. If I were Pep I would watch the Liverpool vs Wolves few days ago in FA cup (where Liverpool lost) to see the strength and weakness of Wolves, maybe it would help him some with the tactics.
But this Wolves team is no push over, this team beat Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea on a good day.

Aguero MUST start and I would put in all the key players in this match and treat it like the Liverpool match, we need to have that 'we must win' mentality like how we did against Liverpool.

Anyways, Kevin and Pep are cool right? He seem a bit upset when he was sub off, I hope everything is ok, because we NEED Kevin to help us out in the league.

Pep and Kevin are fine.

We’ll smash these, not to worry

 

[jared]

They have taken points off many big teams this season. Hopefully we don't get over confident.

 

[TonyM]

I’d use the very same setup as against Liverpool, i.e. Laporte as LB and Danilo as RB.

But is Aguero fit? If not I’d be tempted to play KDB as the striker!!!! I think as we try to play the intricate passes to break down packed defenses it may be better to have a midfielder in the box than a striker like Jesus. Just a thought. Go easy! ;-)

Th8nk aguero had/has a touch of the flu. Should be ok for Monday. The question is which Silva do we play? I’d be tempted to play Bernardo with kev in this one.

Scousers down to just slapped arse Van Dick as centre half with Fabinho as cover. Brighton love to load the box so could be interesting.
We just need to go full blob against Wolves as we did against the cult. Full team with everyone well rested and ready. Time for the boys to pour it on. No fucking about. I expect a win, nothing less.

 

[KDBtojesus]

Just can’t afford to drop any points at home really rest of the way.

Fuck me, that's a good idea. I hope he's thought of it.

 

[SWP's back]

and their ability to score from offside handballs.

fixed that for you.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Very much a test game to see whether we are still in convalescence, or whether we are now out of bed, out of the hospital, and fit as a fiddle. Rotherham and Burton may have flattered to deceive, but the game against the dippers sure as hell didn’t. We’ve got to get every single point available at home and the vast majority away, to have a chance, imo.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

4-1 city win

 

[Colm mulvenna]

Expecting a tough game, but our tails are up and we should have a virtually fully fit squad to choose from:

Ederson
Danilo
Stones
Laporte
Delph
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
B Silva
Sane
Sterling
Aguero

 

[GX Blue]

Ederson

Danilo Stones Laporte Delph

Fernandinho

Sterling KDB Bernardo Sane

Aguero

3-1

 

[bellsouth]

Interesting that Delph didn't get a run out last night even a subs appearance, I think Pep's going to make him wait a bit longer, so another start for Zinchenko.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

With Aguero having been struck down with flu, I’d reward Jesus with a rare League start. We need both strikers feeling confident, so to drop Jesus back to the bench after 5 goals in 2 games might not be the right call in the long run.

 

[whp.blue]

Tough game, they're probably the best team outside of the top 6, they just haven't been as consistent playing against the other 13 teams.

Strongest available line up:

-------------------------Ederson
Danilo--------Stones-----------Laporte---------Delph
-----------------------Fernandinho
----------De Bruyne----------------D.Silva
Sterling----------------Aguero--------------------Sane

I mean there are a few questions:

Danilo or Walker? - Think Danilo has earned his spot for now.
Kompany? - How serious was his injury, not seen since he went off vs Liverpool.
Delph? - Back from suspension. Is he up to speed or do we go with Laporte/Zinchenko...
De Bruyne? - Is he ready to start a tough Premier League game?
Aguero? - Apparently missed training but will return tomorrow according to Jose Alvarez.


Either way we need to be on it, Liverpool play first, so it'll be a tougher game going into it knowing they won. Although Brighton could cause them problems, unlikely but we have to hope those last 2 games have Liverpool doubting themselves.


Ultimately, we have to finish this season thinking we have to win every game.

Surely we should have started the season thinking we needed to win every game?

 

[Trojan1962]

Eddie
Danilo
Vin
Laporte
Delph
Fernandinho
Raheem
Kevin
David
Leroy
Aquero (if fit)
I think we will have too much for them 3-1 to the mighty blues.

Not really, we should go into every game thinking we have to win it, but it's impossible going into a season thinking we have to win every game , because we don't and it wouldn't be possible.

 

[7evens]

Ederson
Danilo, Stones, Laporte, Delph
Fernandinho
Sterling, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sané
Aguero

Muric, Walker, Otamendi, Foden, D. Silva, Jesus, Mahrez.

 

[Tb1981]

If we play with high intensity they can’t live with us
No complacency
Need to start like we did against Liverpool and nail them
They are good on the break but I wasn’t that impressed with them against Liverpool
