Think he’s gonna end up playing wing back in their first game, may change if they sign someoneWonder how Wolves will set up for this game and what tactics they may employ? Em, em, em, let me see, em, em, maybe the odd long-ball to Traore would be worth a try?
whatever it will be, it will not be ignoring advantageous attacking opportunities by passing sideways and back, and will score 1 or 2 on their 4 to 6 chances.Wonder how Wolves will set up for this game and what tactics they may employ?

After watching Nigel De Jong, Gareth Barry and Ferna do the same job for a decade. Our problems started when we lost the midfield enforcer sweeping up in front. How many great centre halfs in that time?I honestly wonder what is going through people's mind putting Fernandinho in midfield?
He is past completely past it!
I’m not sure what Fernandinho needs to do for people to stop demanding he play midfield. It can’t be more obvious that he doesn’t have the legs to do that for much more than one-offs here and there.Fernandinho back to centre mid please. I don't care how old he is or how rusty he looked in his 1 game there (after not playing for so long), last season was a disaster in central midfield.
If he is no longer fit enough for CDM then he is not fit to wear the shirt. He played CD v Newcastle away in 18/19 if I remember rightly and messed up then.I’m not sure what Fernandinho needs to do for people to stop demanding he play midfield.

Hope it's not like last season. We know exactly what to expect. Another parked bus and long ball up to Traore.
Fernandinho does not have the legs to play CDM. As lone defensive midfielder in our open style you have to cover lot of ground and he simply is not up to it anymore.

Bullshit
I know mate, it’s silly. The team should be:Why are people picking Koulibaly
Yes, let's resign Zabaleta and Toure, good players never age and lose form.
Those players visibly lost their legs - although you could argue Yaya never had any to begin with.
There are little to no visible signs of Fernandinho doing so. People just sees the age he's at plus the way Guardiola's phasing him out and just automatically assume it's happened, when it hasn't.
Pep is a great manager, but he has his oversights and weaknesses. His handling of the DM position last season was an example and he got it wrong.
