Wolves (A) - Sat 16th Aug, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Cobra]

Based on who’s available -

Trafford

Lewis
Stones
Dias
Ait-Nouri

Gundogan
Bernardo
Reijnders

Marmoush
Haaland
Bobb

Subs

Ortega
Nunes
Akanji
Ake
Nico
Doku
Foden
Rodri
Cherki

No room for Khusanov and O’Reilly. Would prefer to see Nico in for Gundogan but I’m not convinced Pep rates him yet

 

[youngbob]

Ederson
Nunes, Stones, Dias, Ait-Nouri
Gonzalez, Reijnders
Cherki, Foden, Marmoush
Haaland

Still much stronger than anything we were able to put together last season.

 

[journolud]

Here we go again. Supporters are kept in the dark. We don't even know who the goalie will be.

Wibble wibble

 

[HelloCity]

Ederson
Nunes, Stones, Dias, Ait-Nouri
Gonzalez, Reijnders
Cherki, Foden, Marmoush
Haaland

Still much stronger than anything we were able to put together last season.

Yeah, because managers should publicly declare their team the day before facing an opponent.

Just remove the er70

 

[Stato]

Not likely to start though if he only started training yesterday.

Foden has been training the last few weeks just wasn't far enough along to go Palermo, but don't think he starts no

 

[johnny crossan]

 

[Gobshiight]

So just the 6 players out / not fully fit for the first game :D

 

[ninjamonkey]

That's some poor interpretation of what he said. I swear people lack basic comprehension skills nowadays whichbfor somebody running a news aggregation page is a fucking horrible trait to have. Pep said apparently yeah in direct reference to him travelling, i.e he expects ederson to be available.

 

[King Jay]

Why do people have Foden in their starting XI when it’s clear that he won’t start and has a knock?

Trafford
Nunes - Stones - Dias - A.N
Bernardo - Reijnders
Cherki - Marmoush - Doku
9.

Good job you edited Gvardiol out quickly then with that comment haha

 

[ninjamonkey]

don't think so.

The question was literally are they travelling tomorrow, he said no to savinho, the journalists then said and ederson is... before pep jumped in and said apparently yes. You've just posted the presser, it's there for everybody to see.

Just deleted my original reply, what you say is true but is 'apparently' a straight answer? Wouldn't he know if Ederson is travelling tomorrow?

 

[citeh94]

Ederson
Nunes, Stones, Dias, Ait-Nouri
Gonzalez, Reijnders
Cherki, Foden, Marmoush
Haaland

Ederson not playing.

[The Blue]

Can't wait for the game tomorrow!
Positive news about Foden and Rodri could be in the squad but I don't see them starting.

I'd go with:

Trafford

Nunes
Stones
Dias
Ait-Nouri

Gonzo
Reijnders

Bernardo
Cherki
Marmoush

Haaland

 

[citeh94]

With the way Pep said it, to me it sounds like he either hasn’t decided on his keeper or Trafford is playing.. maybe I’m wrong tho..

 

[ancoats]

I like this squad Pep has this season. If you think of having an off day then your place in the team will be taken
Very strong squad and quality in depth, also options in the system to go long and play on the break

We need to hit the ground running and secure the three points, but I feel Wolves will fancy it, and we will need to knock the stuffing out of them early on. Their fans will be right on it, with ex-players getting a roasting for 90 minutes.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Little odd I agree but I think thats likely more to do with there being a training session to come or a training session just happened and the travelling list isn't 100% yet.

it may turn out he doesnt travel for one reason or another but city xtra saying pep has confirmed Ederson wont be travelling is completely incorrect.
