Wolves (A) Pre-Match Thread

[ZanteWeatherman]

Not a surprise to anyone who knew about meniscus injuries.

He will probably struggle with it for most of the season.

A full recovery for the average person for what he had (as in no pain, full movement, etc) can be around 8 months.

Yep, hate to say it, but finito la musica at the top level. Hope I'm wrong tho.....

No pre season ... some players in self-isolation (Laporte and Mahrez) only just starting training with the group ... manager in quarantine after his holidays ... only just joining back with the squad ... Aguero still out and highly unlikely to be match ready ... did I mention no pre-season? ... and of course the last game they played together was the Lyon disaster ... so ... yeah, no one knows if we’re ready or not ... if the players and manager show up like pre season or first game half cooked ... Wolves would have had two games in so probably more match fit than any of our players ... and let’s see how it goes! The enthusiasm of fans itself is a reflection of how undercooked it all seems at the moment ...

Seems being the operative word.

Wolves just lost to Stoke at home. Mostly rotated squad but some starters playing. Hopefully they're knackered on Monday.

Piss poor result no matter what lined up they put out. City should hammer these if im honest.

Hope we've learnt the lessons from our games against them last season, they are a good team but won't be finishing top 4, confident we will win, dependent on no strange team selection.

It all depends which mood City will turn up in.

Pretty certain we won’t have another CB in before Monday. Horrible away game but lack of home fans should be our advantage.

Wolves didn't have a pre season either and just like us had a good run in Europe and finished their season on 11th August.

Just as long as we keep the keeper in the goals for the whole game we will be ok for at least a draw which won’t be too bad a return all things considered. I’d love for us to be more pragmatic away in the bigger games. Sit a bit deeper and give them some possession so we can counter them with Torres Raheem and Jesus.

why are we so afraid to play with a bit of caution for 70 or even 80 mins. Lined up agains Lyon with essentially 7 def minded players and still remained on the half way line for both goals we left in before the third. The idea was right not the personnel
