Wolves (A) Pre-Match Thread

Bet Mr bang average gundogan finds his way onto the team sheet.

They've not replaced Doherty and Jonny has an ACL so it looks like Traore will play wing back this season.

Expect them to line up something like this:

Patricio
Boly Coady Saiss
Traore Dendoncker Neves Moutinho Marcal
Jimenez Neto

Assuming Aguero, Laporte and Mahrez are available but not fully fit:

Ederson
Walker Stones Ake Mendy
De Bruyne Rodri Bernardo
Torres Jesus Sterling

Steffen Laporte Cancelo Gundogan Foden Mahrez Aguero

Bernardo to support Mendy against Traore, Torres to exploit their weaker left flank. Their midfield isn't too mobile so Rodri and KDB plus Bernardo and Jesus pressing should be more than comfortable.

Good shout 're Traore at full back. Just the couple of flashes going forward last night.

They play in the Milk Cup before our first game, - so, twice

Got a Carabao game midweek

Sorry, yeah, I’d forgotten about the League Cup.

 

[Prater70]

Would assume if we are leading then Traore reverts to his forward role.

Give it a rest FFS

Exactly. Season hasn't even fucking started yet and reading that nonsense.

Well you seem to be an expert in bang average, reading that little gem'-)

As things stand, I imagine it’ll be something like this:

Ederson
Walker
Fernandinho
Ake
Mendy
Rodri
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Sterling
Jesus

Not sure Mahrez or Laporte will start if they’ve barely trained.

Don't think that'll be far off.

Maybe Stones and Foden instead of Fernandinho and Gundogan.

Nope, we'll be seriously under prepared for this game whilst they will have played twice. I'm expecting a performance to match as well, and Pep will do a Mourinho after the game.

What ?

 

[kaz7]

Seriously, why do you bother supporting the club as you rarely have anything positive to say

He doesn't ..

 

[kaz7]

In Pep we trust.

Are we really you going to go there after losing nine games last season ? many times @mosssideblue shot us down for questioning the team selection when it was correct, no hindsight required

 

[Fordyboy46]

What ?

What I was meaning Kaz is that he'll say we're not ready for the new season.

 

[damrider]

Not seeing aguero/KDB/Bernardo/Laporte in any of the training pitch pictures

 

[ballinio]

Personally I'd play Walker at left back to bully Traore and Len at right back with the option to switch.

Who’s Len ?

People question the team before every game though and did so in 17-19 too. Especially the far greater than 9 that we went on to win.

 

[chesterbells]

I'm always pumped up for the first match of a new season, even when we had shite like Ousmane Dabo playing for us!

I can't wait for next Monday, bring on Wolves and let's fuck them up.

Love it

 

[chesterbells]

Don't think that'll be far off.

Maybe Stones and Foden instead of Fernandinho and Gundogan.

Will Foden have fully recovered his strength back though?

 

[chesterbells]

Who’s Len ?

Cancelo

i am afraid most of us said that Lyon team was suicide, every team is there to be questioned, that is what the forum is for !

And the forum is also for people to say they trust Pep. Glad we came to an agreement.
