Wolves (A) Pre-Match Thread

is it 3 at the back or 4-3-3?

 

[SebastianBlue]

I don't think the 3 subs will be difficult to guess.

Great pun, as well.

What’s the score with Bernie and Cancello?

Bernardo picked up an injury on international duty while Cancelo is coming to terms with having an extra l added to his surname :)

Depends on how you look at that formation.

 

[stan bowles]

you started praying already?

That would be a confession.

 

[flook]

I sea what you did there.

you're not getting a like for that

Why do we have so many injuries? Surely it’s due to Pep’s intensity in trainings because we have so many muscle injuries all the time

We seemed to manage the muscle injuries when the last physio was at the club... then the dippers poached him

 

[stan bowles]

Cancelo - foot injury.

 

[abu13]

This may be a sign of a more pragmatic Pep, if it is a back 4 then we have plenty of pace with Ferny and Rodri offering protection when out of possesion.

He has a magic touch I suppose then. Sod Kounde we should be paying £60+ million on getting him back

we don’t. Aguero injury dates back to last season, Laporte and Gundogan aren’t injured, Bernardo was injured on international duty and we’ve no idea whether zinchenko/cancelo are out of the squad because of injury or not.

And fewer than half think City will win. Season of lower expectations ahead?

The win vote has crept up a bit since....

 

[simon23]

doyle is being integrated into the first team squad. Next one after foden

Yeah I know, but didnt expect it to happen so soon - nothing wrong with that of course

Wonder if it has been enforced a little by Gundogan having to isolate for 10 days

 

[Manc in London]

The lesser spotted John Stones. When did he last play a game of football anyone?

From memory, possibly Bournemouth. He was dreadful that game. Every single aspect of his game.

I think it's possible to work out early on if Stones is on it: he looks to pass the ball forward and is constantly communicating with team mates.

Never hated peacocks more than I do right now.

Although this is obviously a less traditional reason, these sort of breakthrough opportunities most often come from injury crises.

Do inhalers prevent muscle injuries?

They and their beautiful feathers can get ****ed.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I checked last week and swear it was on NBCSN. Oh well, knew I was going to have to pony up eventually.
