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

Think Wolves are unbeaten in last 5…let’s end that.

Hopefully but they played out some impressive results recently. 2–1 narrow losses at Emirates and Anfield + draw at Old Trafford. Will be a challenging game.

I'm the opposite, I want another game now - it can't come quick enough.

The starting eleven will be one thing, how we set up will be what truly matters.

High line, back two exposed, players out of position, and we'll be in a for a long 90 odd minutes again.

If ever a back 4 is equipped for a high back line it is:

Nunes-Khuanov-Guehi-O'Reilly.

Whether Nunes will be fit is not clear. Let's see if he is available in training.

Really hoping Nunes and Gonzalez are available.

Really hoping Nunes and Gonzalez are available.

Definitely two of our better performers, please Lord no Tijani.

Not up for the Salford match now, very nervous, could be humiliating! Imagine it if that lot won at our place?!!?

It's not just about the defence though. You could have Cafu, Moore, Beckenbauer and Maldini as your back four, but with no midfield in front of them, they will constantly be exposed.

If I remember correctly the last game against these they played really well and gave us plenty to think about, most of their success came down the right hand side and I’m worried if pep plays RAN right back as he’s not great at defending.
Time will tell.

Thats what I thought after the rags game, so the B Glimt game should have been the perfect tonic.
But I have no doubt that with our new signings, and the return of one or two of the others, our slump will soon be at an end, starting wuth Wolves.

 

[Paul1970]

Massive game for us now as not only to keep pressure on arsenal but to settle alot of fans nerves aswell . If we turn like toon away it’s an easy win but anything like the last 2 games and we get battered simple as that

Hmmm

 

[Etihad]

With the reinforcement of players like Semenyo, not eligible for the UCL, surely we'll have too much for wolves.

 

[Blu1]

I don't think we need 2 DM's against Wolves. I'd rest Rodri and play O'Reilly there.

We need 2 DMs every game for me

 

[Ethan23]

Funny one this, I remember about a month ago looking at this fixture and thinking I can't wait, Saturday, 3pm, bottom of the table, almost guaranteed 4/5/6-0.

Fast forward a month and I wouldn't say I'm dreading it, but If we can get out of the game with 3 points and no injuries I'll be over the moon.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Not due back until late Feb currently (get that wasn't your point though ) - or if you're mean spirited England's first group game in June ;)

There is a friendly v Uruguay - 27 March ;-)

Hallam's PL debut, aged 33.

Welcome to Manchester. Can you just care for the rules please? Thanks.

Webb must have been impressed with him bottling awarding a penalty against the Dippers so told him to go and prove how he can stick it to us before promoting him :)-

 

[citymad]

Not sure why we bought Ait Nouri. He can’t defend and he goes AWOL upfront. That was one that was probably a panic buy.

 

[TinFoilHat]

I fancy us to scrape a draw in this one.

:)
