We need a reaction in this game. Just need to get back to winning ways.

Not going to slate the manager, but he does need to have a wee look at things and listen to us on here a bit more...

Would like to see Nunes back and Ait Nouri at left full back to give him a few games to see how he gets on - or do we go with O'Reilly in there?

The midfield needs to show up and Pep needs to allow our wingers to get balls into the box. This getting the ball out wide then coming back inside is absolutely killing us. One of the best strikers in the world and we're putting nothing in there.

And for the love of fucking God, can someone just practice taking a fucking corner.
 
Wolves will fancy this, and we’ll be as jittery as feck. Really need to stabilize the defense. Either that or stop playing a high line, or both. This is a must win.

Is Nico G back? We desperately need him.

And throw ins!
 
Going to be a tough one with us playing with our wingbacks up the other side of the pitch and Wolves playing a 5 at the back with wingbacks. Have a feeling they're going to get in behind us so many times.

I suppose it happening approximately 127 times in the last 2 games could lead you to that conclusion.

I never thought we would be so desperate for Nunes to be fit, to make a starting eleven?

How things change!

Fair play to the lad. He still has a potential brain fart in his game, but he gives us balance and composure when compared to others deputising when absent.

Nico G sorely missed as well, as Rodders just isn’t at the races at the moment.

As for the big man upfront ?
He’s not looking interested in my opinion. He owes us a decent run of playing like a beast, not a bewildered bystander. Ok , he’s out there leading the scoring charts (again) but a few scuffed penalties and close range efforts doesn’t really give a world class persona in my opinion
It’s Catch 22 with him. He needs a goal to get his mojo back, so if benched he isn’t going to get out of this rut.

Semenyo looked lost to me at the swamp. Maybe he starts as a lone striker?
Concerned his natural game isn’t going to exist the way we play?

I think Haaland needs to be dropped/rested for this. Due to his ridiculous goal scoring he obviously gets cut a lot of slack for contributing very little else. Now the goals have dried up it’s like playing with 10 men. Of course he’ll get back to banging them in but at the moment i think we need to mix it up. Bring him off the bench and see if he starts showing some hunger and drive again.

Last night he gave us fuck all and missed a sitter. The performance from him in the derby is what is still annoying me though. No passion fight or commitment for the team whilst playing against a little fella and slab head. Unacceptable
 
I've not cast a vote 'cos I haven't a fuckin' clue about what will happen Saturday. It could be a hat trick of shit shows to go with the Rags 'n Bodo games or, hopefully with Guehi providing a brick wall at the back, and Haaland getting those fuckin' wellies off he's been wearing, on the wrong feet, we might come away with summat.
 
We cannot drop points in this game. We need to sit a bit further back then find the spaces behind for the wingers to get in to with Haaland sprinting in the box. I'm sick of this camp on the edge of the area shit then get hit by a counter attack.

I agree. I'd like Semenyo as striker with Doku and Cherki on the wings.
 
Expecting fuck all from this.

We are totally devoid of ideas. Another banana skin game and Wolves will be right up for it.

Lose or draw this and we are back to where we was just over a year ago. After spending another half a billion as well.
 
Understand why confidence is low after the last two games, but come on it's Wolves at home. They'll be organised and tough to break down, but you have to fancy us to get the three points. Hopefully see a few changes to the starting XI to freshen things up. I'd rest Foden and Haaland for this one.

Donnarumma
Nunes
Khusanov
Guehi
Ait-Nouri
Rodri
Gonzalez/Bernardo
Cherki
Doku
Semenyo
Marmoush
 
Lets hope we have 5 more options on Sat that yesterday Nunes, Nico G, Bernie, Guehi & Semenyo.

A rested Doku & Ake. At least the bench would start to look full

Donnarumma
Nunes
Khusanov
Guehi
O'Reilly
Rodri
Bernardo
Cherki
Doku
Semenyo
Haaland

Bench
Gonzalez
Marmoush
Foden
Ake
Ait Nouri
Lewis
 
If he doesn’t play 2 dms then he’s learned Fook all & we will be in a mess
 
Team picks itself, I hope Pep sees it the same way.
