Wolves (A) Pre-Match Thread

[manchester blue]

I’m happy to see John Stones start. He’s a class defender. Hopefully the start of a prolonged run to get his confidence back. Good luck JS.

I think Phil will be out there as a fuck you message to the press and play well.

Stones and Ake could prove to be a good partnership. Because Garcia has made his bed it's time for John to own his spot.

Why do our press treat our stars so badly?
We build people up then treat them bad.

4-2-3-1.

5-3-2 out of possession. 4-3-3 in possession?
With Pep who knows :)

Well, I reckon the Match day Thread CoC will be broken within 5 min of kick off:

'Don't needlessly flap or overreact to things' ...... BWAHAHAHA, yeah right!

Hoping for a nice win here to alleviate the pessimism on the transfer thread.

Might not be far off with that prediction mate

Given you always think we are going to lose can you promise not to moan if we do

 

[Gray]

How many of the absentees are on a “For Sale” list?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Let's Bayern Munich the bastards.

9-0 win will make some arseholes twitch.

;)

There’s the City... err, optimism we’ve been missing?

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Which part do you see differently?

I mean from different perspective. You looked at negative point of view (nothing wrong with it) and I decided to look from more positive point of view.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Where is Cancelo?

 

[Stoned Rose]

He may well have to do some sitting. I looked him up on Wiki yesterday. The guy's 35. He has one of the most punishing roles in the team. Think about that. It's worrying…

But he has extreme natural fitness and engine.

Should be sweet.

We are good at counter attacks when jesus, de bruyne and sterling link together but rarely get the chance to use it, perhaps a slight shift in some away games to allow us to exploit that may be beneficial at least until defence has become more solid.

camping in the opposition half trying to thread the eye of a needle leaving us exposed to the counter was unproductive last year and previously.

agree generally with Micah Richards point on sky earlier that difference is Fernandinho cleans up much better than Rodri/gundogan

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Bernie got injured playing for Portugal, Zinchenko is at home with his Mrs writing a book on football tactics, not sure about Cancelo

Genuinely LOL'd at this, well done.

You have to build up to make the tear down profitable.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

All had extended contact with Ilkay?

this could be a good shout. Maybe the 5 of them were set to be on the bench

Better that than on the right of a back 3 vs Lyon. That was nuts

Absolutely.

4-2-3-1.

Suspected for a few weeks we’ll use 4231 more this season.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I don’t think Walker is decisive enough in the final 3rd to play as a wing back. Will be interesting to see how it goes. A lot hinges on KDB as our full backs/wing backs don’t create enough.

Might not be far off with that prediction mate

I'm going to feel similarly almost every game unless we sign a top quality established centre half. Mendy and Stones fill me with dread every game they play and Walker has a brain fart in him too.
