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

[hilts]

Don’t think it’s a question of whose turn it is. The game comes less than 72 hours after the Spurs game and some of those who were involved put one hell of an effort in (Lewis, Ake, Mahrez and Gundogan to name a few). Therefore, they may need more recovery time. Arsenal game is then 5 days after, so I would like to think that he will rest some and have a fully fit squad to go for that one.

I'm of the opinion that players can play twice in 3 days occasionally and they won't combust.

This need for rotation sounds great until you get someone like Rodri who gets played to death. In the league games and CL I would prefer players to be picked on form. That is all.

Constant rotation seems more a keep everyone happy policy tbh.

Not that it matters (as we will get fuck all while the opposition get away with kicking fuck out of us and wasting half an hour sitting in the floor) but who is the cheat, sorry ref, on Sunday?

No doubt the most corrupt white blowing wanker available

 

[chickaroon]

After peps interview I suddenly feel ready for anybody! Lol

Time for destroy mode City

The stadium has to rock on Sunday

Exactly what Pep wants. A siege mentality. Us against the world. Come on Blues.

 

[chesterbells]

Lewis should be starting again.

If he’s not battered, bruised or injured after the last game, fully agreed.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Wolves are in the bottom 3 if we don't beat these well ......

Is there a press conference today?

Guardiola says focus on City's form, not Arsenal’s

Pep Guardiola says it doesn’t matter what the Arsenal v Manchester United result is on Sunday.

'They wanted to leave' says boss on Jesus and Zinchenko departures

Pep Guardiola says he has no regrets about the departures of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

If he leaves out Grealish and Mahrez after thursdays display, I will consider Pep to be bonkers.

Time to go hunting…

So we are.already blaming the ref before kick off? Great stuff

Palace played the rags then had to play Newcastle today, exactly the same time, so it's.not like we are the only ones playing 72 hours after, and.yoiu could argue Palace had 2 tougher games

We all know he’s utterly bonkers, but that’s why he’s so good. Can only judge on performance and results, questioning beforehand is folly.

Love him or loathe him, he sets standards that we should all abide by.

We have had some of the most terrible refereeing performances including the most corrupt referee performance versus the rags, so yes it has to be mentioned!

When officials set a trend, why wouldn’t you.

Hard to make a team prediction at the moment but I'm gonna be bold and say Pep will pick a total of 11 players.

Yes the rags offside was terrible, but come on we have played poor several times without it being a referees fault, we seem to have a default setting now, where if it doesn't go our way its the officials to blame or anybody but the managers or the players fault

Open your eyes, the corruption and dubious referee performances are clear to see. It’s not right we have to beat the opposition and the referee team every match

 

[Mariosfireworks]

No, I agree the rags offside goal was a joke, but bar that most games lost have been our own fault, due to managers and players attitude, but if it fits the narrative then yes let's blame everyone else

 

[Mariosfireworks]

Open your eyes, the corruption and dubious referee performances are clear to see. It’s not right we have to beat the opposition and the referee team every match

And us being poor this season has been clear to see, so open your eyes, if you think we have played well this season bar a few games and it's all corrupt officiating, then you have a problem

So if wolves turn us over is the refs fault
