Wolves (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[Mike N]

Food for thought: Could we become the first team in the Premier League history to win the League before the League Cup?

I've got an even better one.
What if rags/Leicester or whoever are 2nd at the time of the Cup final lose on Cup final day to hand us the title.
We could win 2 trophies on 1 day.

Stop it Aggers!!!

Why's everybody scared of Traore?
He's fast I'll give you that but he has fuck all end product.

Except, it appears, when he has played against us the last few times.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo

KDB*60
Rodri
Bernardo

Sterling
Aguero**60
Foden

* Mahrez, with Bernardo switching to the right and Foden dropping in on the left midfield, Sterling to left wing.

** Straight swap for Jesus.

Picked with an eye on the weekend. Minutes in legs for some, while protecting others.

Tuesday to Sunday is a decent rest period, so I expect best XI for the derby.

He's nothing more than a headless chicken who frustrates the fuck out of his own team mates,there's no guarantee he'll even start

We should play sterling for this one because there is no point playing him against the rags because he will do his usual disappearing act against them.

 

[Sir peace frog]

i wouldnt have sergio starting, not a fucking chance, give him 20 minutes if we are in front , he was way way off it today , weve got 4 days between this and united so full strength , maybe kdb for gundogan to give him a rest.

 

[PaleBlue]

Quite like Wolves, but we owe them one in this game, still irks me that Boly handball goal back in 2018-2019. They haven't been pulling up any trees this season, be happy to give them a thumping. Should be a more open game that today's was against a resilient Hammers side.

 

[chickaroon]

Wondering about Kevin's form at the moment. Just not been the player we know. Could be the slower style of play does not suit him. He likes to speed the game up and to get from back to front quicker. Also there has been no more news about a new contract. That may be on his mind?

He has only been back a week.

Sergio sitting on bench won’t get up to speed for the QF or SF of the champions league or another cup game where we need that one chance to go in that he’s very capable of putting away ... he takes time getting back from injury ... he’ll only get better if we play him every game ... start him again, and again and then in 3-4 games you’ll see him back to his best ... leaving him out does nothing ... tires Jesus even more and Sergio remains where he is today.

He gets owned by Wan-Bissaka if he tries to take him on, that’s for sure.

 

[hateutd]

Aguero will scores...

 

[wolviedinho]

We need to revert to type against wolves. They have caused us problems on the counter for a few seasons.

Cancelo, Foden, Bernie, Jesus, Sterling, Rodri all need to start.

 

[chickaroon]

I agree and I don't mean to criticise. He is my favourite player. All season, he hasn't been himself.

Been a very stop start season for him I agree but that cross. Wow. Then second half that run that probably should have led to a goal. He is too good to be out of the side for too long.

 

[Mike45]

Lesson learnt today, get back to Silva Rodri Cancelo, plus need Jesus if only for energy he brings.

Kun KDB need managing back in, or be impact option if required to pull a game round or have the luxury of a run out.

if these 2 can hit top form it should be in time for the big shouts in CL

How they can hit top form if they do not play in games like against Wolves? :)
For me, at least KDB should play in this.

Of course he is to good to be left out. Just want to see that joy from him again. He always offers us something special in every game. There is just something not right. I think it is our slow build up. He us a dynamic player.

 

[bluemurray]

We have that 'champions mindset' at the moment, we can't be beaten and frankly the opposition is beaten in the tunnel before kick-off, at least inside their heads... That's not to say Wolves' ain't half-decent although following their current progress at Newcastle this evening can hardly lead us to be too fearful can it?? 3-0 City.

 

[Semper aggressus]

I’d like to see Cancelo, Foden and Rodri start this game. Have to keep this run going.

Agree with KDB

Ederson
Cancelo
Zinchenko
Stones
Laporte
Rodri
Bernado
Kdb
Sterling
Jesus
Foden

I think Dias, Gundogan and Walker will drop out after playing the last 2 games and Aguero, Torres and Mahrez will sit this one out.
