Wolves (A) Pre-Match Thread

[SebastianBlue]

To get everyone excited for this match and the rest of the season I offer this classic.

And by “everyone”, I mean me.

And by “excited”, I mean brief chuckle.

I sincerely hope Pep realises that Fernandinho and potentially Rodri will be suicidal against Adama running it down.

You should have added Gundogun

Pep Guardiola on deciding his #ManCity future: “They didn’t push me from day one to today. They allow me to do my job. This is going to continue. They didn’t tell me you have to do this or that, or you have to win this or win that. They told me to play.” [via
@ManCityMEN

Pep Guardiola: “I would love to stay longer here. It is a place I love to be. This club achieved standards in the last decade. We have to maintain that. I am going to see if I deserve it this season in terms of how the club goes forward and improves.”

Does anyone know what Pep was saying in his final seasons at Barcelona and Bayern for comparison?

Mrs predicts Wolves 3 City 6, shes an armchair Leeds fan..

Does she have the right sport (French Open starts next week)

Just woke up to think today's the day we have been waiting for...
Gundog and rodri back together :+(

Surely even Pep will finally recognize that duo is not appropriate for fast, counter-attacking teams like Wolves . . .

I imagine if you watch Leeds attack and defend you might think 9 goal matches are normal

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Are stones & otamendi dead? Why is everyone putting Rodri/fernadinho as CB instead?
And I really don't udnerstand the pessism, even for "haha city self depricating humor is our thing!" it's mad.



it's really quite obvious the team will be;

It'll be Eddy, walker, stones, ake, Cancelo, rodri, fernandinho, rodri, foden, sterling, Mahrez, torres, KDB, Jesus & Carson
we'll win 3-1

Game day at last. Once we get past the hysteria following the team selection, let's hope the boys put on a display of what we know they are capable of and brush Wolves aside.

Long wait now till tonight

If pep picks gundogun and we lose, believe me, the hysteria will just begin

Let's drop the ifs for now eh

I highly doubt it :+(

 

[Woody13]

Really tough start for us tonight, a sharper Wolves team are going to present plenty of problems, not to mention their pace and aggression in getting into us. While it wouldn't surprise me to see Pep come up with something a little funky tonight I'm going in with this side :-
Ederson
Walker Fernandinho Ake Mendy
Rodri
De Bruyne Gundogan
Torres Jesus Sterling

 

[wolviedinho]

Finally we get to play. Come out fighting and fuck them up. CTID.

 

[himalayan_blues]

i am worried we are not match fit for this game. We did not have a preseason friendly. Wolves had already played one game. I hope we will do better than united did. Finger crossed.

I'd have the same but swap Foden for Bernardo and Torres for Mahrez. Maybe Stones for Fernandinho. New season and all that.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Really don't want to keep seeing Fernandinho at CB anymore - just stick Stones in there and give it a go.

I agree ... get Ferna to play back in the central midfield ... last season him playing there would have been better for Rodri too as he'd have learnt a thing of two from him, like those cynical fouls media kept harping about ...
