Wolves (H) - Sat 24th Jan, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[KirkhamBlue62]

Can’t believe how bad we have become. It’s not the fact we are losing. We look like a non-league team, except they would at least run as fast as they can. We would look slow in a ‘walking football’ league. It’s that bad. Something is terribly wrong. No urgency anywhere, no leaders anywhere, no one geeing each other up or screaming at each other to try harder. So disrespectful to the fans. Gutted to see us in such a state.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Wolves will be well up for this.

We might win, we might not. The one thing for sure is that Pep will do his best to fuck it up again.

 

[Franny 1234]

I will get my tin hat on ready
I keep seeing predicted team lineups and almost everyone is including Rodri.
Am not blaming him but he's part of the problem he's a shadow of the Rodri we know and love.
Seriously Saturday could be 4-1 either way or anything in between.
Either way I'll be cheering for our boys in Blue. CTID

 

[Franny 1234]

Probably because Bluemoon is full of rags this evening

Probably cause bluemoon is full of people who are constantly seeing us getting beat or dropping point recently.
That doesn't make them Rags

Kolo has order Erling some supplemental training apparatus before the weekends game

 

[Goater101]

Too much bastard whinging on here. Don’t be entitled. We’re not like others. Get behind the lads

 

[wolviedinho]

Double pivot
3 cbs.

The rest dont care.

Sort that spine and the team is back.

 

[Sam69]

I want to see as many players as possible playing in the positions where they feel comfortable.

.......................Donnarumma................

Nunes....khusanov...Guehi....Ait Nouri

.....................Rodri... Nico.....................

Semenyo.........Cherki...............Doku...

........................Marmoush.....................

 

[christened at st marks]

Look at the prediction %

 

[Zenmanc]

37% of supporters think that the team that stands 20th on 8 points - W1 D5 L16 - will beat us?

Wow

You seen the last several games?

[I'm Blue]

Being honest I think we lose this, at best a draw.
Think we'll get out worked and our heads will drop.
I can see another bad run like last season coming.
We might actually be worse than last season imo.
Hope I'm wrong.
I'll back this team but I'm also not delusional.

Debut of the England captain, home to the bottom team. And yet thanks to last night, I'm really not up for this.

Not because of the result, but because I really don't want to spend nearly two hours of my life watching sideways and backwards passes. Even if we do win, it'll feel like papering over the cracks.

Hope I feel different by Saturday or else I'll be spending the afternoon shopping with the missus. Talk about January blues. I'm not even going to vote on the outcome as, right now, I couldn't give a toss.

 

[Bill Walker]

And nothing at all to do with our two central defenders going down our forward going awol and our very own local hero turning to shit again?

Our forward hasn't gone AWOL, it's just nobody seems capable of passing the ball to him.
Strikers need service.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Come on City!

I think the opposite.
I think we’ll win comfortably.
Then we’ll have people saying we’re out of the dip in form.
We won’t be.
Pep needs to let the lads play, fast and free.
Not the mundane side to side, backwards, pass, pass, pass.
We’ve got the players to be playing much better than we are but he needs to release the shackles and let the boys play.
Then we’ll see progress.

Pep needs to look back at what has worked end of last season, and what elements are working this season.

A strong centre midfield partnership, players in the right spots, resting those who aren't performing.

This is my preferred line up.

Some version of this could work even with Nunes out, but I don't think it's needed as I believe Nunes should be back for this game.

You beat me to it - leave Phil and Erling on the bench - sitting there may be the wakeup call they need to kickstart their games.

Interesting, a championship referee is in charge. Farai Hallam
Though see he is being trained by PGMOL as he refused Barnsley a blatant penalty v the Dippers in the cup the other week.

 

[Blue Hefner]

As Mark Carney said “nostalgia is not a strategy”
Now, I’m not saying Pep out or sell Haaland but the Wolves game is the first day of the rest of the season - so fucking sort it, sharpish. Change something, things must improve

Like a lot of that but I'd still be staring the big lad up front.
