Wolves (H) - Sun 22nd Jan, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[the blue panther]

Wolves will be a very tough game, their league position belies the good players they have in midfield and up front imo.

They can't score goals! Hopefully they continue the trend for 3 more days.
No idea what Pep will do - I've given up guessing, but, I think Laporte will come back in if he's fit and I think he'll have to rest Lewis as this game is too close after Thursday's effort and the kicking the referee allowed Spurs to get away with on him.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Another game with less than 72 hrs between games. Twice in 2 weeks, who’d have thought it?

 

[BrownManc]

That would do for me, though we need an in form Kev, Phil & Bernardo back asap too.

That second half v Spuds could make all the difference here, Wolves were awful against the Dippers in the FA Cup. No real fears here. v

'No fears here ' have to disagree. Wolves have some very good technical players and with the new Manager from Spain i would say its 50/50 if we win Sunday.

A bunch of plastic johnny come lately Yam Yams will tell us we are shit fans.
They got 3,357 for a league game in 1987. Regular crowds below 10k since then. Taken the small allocation at ours on several occasions
Bur we’ll be the ‘shit fans’ thanks to our own manager. Cheers

Molineux crowd is lowest league gate for 13 years

Last night's Molineux crowd was the lowest league gate in 13 years despite Wolves' return to the League One summit.

Pep is trying to get a siege mentality going. Players and fans. The only way to do that is to annoy them. It us against the rest.

Agreed. But if we play like we did in the second half against spurs, bringing the ball out faster being more direct, none of this fucking about side to side back to the keeper shit, moving the ball forward at pace play it out to the wings getting in behind them get the crosses in we should win it.
It's all about pace don't go back towards the keeper

 

[wolviedinho]

Must win if we want to compete for the league.

Good team with technical, experienced players. Still got the pace of Traore. Need to keep our passes quick and sharp. Apprehension at the back will lead to mistakes.

Go fast or go home.

Hoping to see Dias. Need stability at the back now until the season is over. Home game so I expect a similar lineup. Pep didn’t make a racket only to give the players he feels are not pulling their weight game time. Unless the team has had some honest discussions this week I see no major changes. Ake start and probably Walker to help with the counter. Rico could maybe play in midfield? To help the ball move quicker.

The players who have decided to take the season off need to seriously up their game now or they will be gone in a few months.

Onwards we go to try and catch another shower of cunts in Arsenal.

Come on, you have to admit we have poor home support this season. Everyone needs a kick up the arse. Peps just keeping it real.

 

[SamTheGuru]

The season now begins. No option but a win.

 

[JewelZee]

We need to be careful too many games close together and he took a few knocks and had cramp the other night? We also need Walker, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Foden and Bernardo to get some form back?

I get it, but no Rico v Southamton or Man U and no results. We need to get on a run and he's been instrumental in any success we've had of late. Personally, someone else can make way for the others right now.

50/50???

 

[jaseisblue]

Same team for me please, except bring back Father Ruben for Akanji. Kev, Phil etc can stay on the bench, they’ve been a tad pants lately.
Would like to gain a little on the Arse but don’t want a rag win either (I think Arse will rip them a new one anyway). Play with the intensity of that second half against the spuddites and we will win.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Ederson, Lewis?, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland

 

[OntarioBlue]

This is a good time to get Dias back up to speed.

I think we should go with

Eddie

Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
KDB Rodri Bernie
Mahrez Haaland Grealish

 

[kinggoat64]

I think this game after peps interview will define the rest of the season will the players stand up we'll see Sunday I reckon 5-1 to us and a great performance we will see

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

We need to carry on the form from the 2nd half the other night , and start from the first minute , no doubt Pep will make anothe rhalf dozen changes , but please now the injuries have settled down can we have a settled back four , not bothered who the four are they are all capable , but lets get back to basics and defend better , the rest will take car of its self.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

will have a tilt at the team , but it will be nothing like Peps selection

Ederson
Rico , Stones , Dias , Ake
Rodri
Alvarez , KDB ,Gundo
Mahrez , Haaland , Grealish

the majority of that team are the form players or returning from injury , apart from KDB but he has to return because he can turn a game in a moment of brilliance and we will need that against a usually dour Wolves team , the likes of Foden , Cancelo , Bernardo and a couple of others need to step up their game to get back in the team.

 

[chickaroon]

Is there a press conference today?

 

[chickaroon]

This is a good time to get Dias back up to speed.

Eddie

Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
KDB Rodri Bernie
Mahrez Haaland Grealish

This would be my team.
