Wolves (A) - Pre-Match Thread

[Roachy]

Sheffield United haven't lost an away game in 2019. They will also have had an extra days rest. Could be even tougher

OK, they will both be tough, Lol.

The Athletic: Pep clearly means by this that he is looking to leave and is highly unsettled.

I think he is teasing them with the whole managers get sacked if they don't get results etc,not a chance in hell woud he ever be sacked,he will leave when he wants to and then i expect we would try everything to get him to stay

Luckily we can pretty much put out 2 teams,pep has to get the mix right though and we can't play kev twice,maybe same team v wolves then kev out and dave in for the home one,he has to also get the fact that they are tired out of their heads and don't use it as an excuse to coast in the home game

Yeah I reckon so too.

I'm just taking the piss out of The Athletic and the media though personally and how they ignore the fact he's said he's staying repeatedly for the past three years.

We will win both games.

The result of the Leicester / Dipper game will be interesting , if Leicester can get a result its a great chance to start reeling the Dippers in , but the home crowd on Friday will want Wolves to bring the game to us , which will be different from the 0-2 at the Etihad ,i would play Rodri and Gundo in the middle to tighten up the centre of the park and prevent any counter attacks with our infamous tactical fouling. Aguero to come on as sub and score the winner :)

This is like every league game between now and the end of the season, this has become a must win game. We cannot afford to drop any more points between now and the end of the season, if we are to stand any chance of retaining the Premier League. I know pep ha said that there will be no new singings in the January window. However we do need another CB and another forward to take some of the wait from both Sergio and Jesus.

We certainly don't need a striker and unlikely a forward if Sane is back in January.

A defender is a maybe at best. We should scout and get guys in preparation for next season.

But i don't see .much need for this season.

So what happens if/when Gabriel Jesus gets injured? Unfortunately we have no suitable strikers in the EDS set-up, so an experienced striker is in my view a necessity. He doesn't have to be a big money signing, maybe a 30yr old just to carry us through any emergencies now that three cup runs look likely.

Same as would have happened in17/18 and 18/19. We’d cope. We aren’t and shouldn’t take up a squad place with someone who probably won’t play and isn’t good enough to be bothered that he doesn’t play.

Probably put Raz or Bernie as a fake no 9.

We'd still score goals. Merlin played there a couple of years ago when over Christmas all our strikers were fucked. Think he scored in every match he played there?
