Wolves (A) - Sat 30th Sept, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Tangled up in blue.]

I think Phillips will start on Saturday.

With Kovacic just coming back, i think he will get some minutes in the second half but we need him in the week and against the arse.

I'm going with:

...............Ederson...............
Walker...Akanji...Dias...Ake
.........Nunes....Phillips........
Doku.......Foden.....Grealish
...............Haaland...............

I think playing Phillips would be a huge mistake

 

[St.Pauli support]

Alvarez has played a ton. I'd like to see Grealish in that spot behind Haaland for a match...

Ah, expected that last night. Pep didn't think so. Not only that Jack isn't at 100% after injury, I couldn't see any sign of leadership or will to create something.

His decision making is really slow, and you have to have your head up as an 8 and screen the game 360°.
He doesn't have that, and he won't learn it anymore at that stage.
Still good enough as a conservative hard working team player on the left side. Hope he comes back to old fitness soon.

Best team, has to be this!

can't argue with that

I think playing Phillips would be a huge mistake

the chances of him starting are less than zero

Doku

Wolves 0-2 Treble Winners

Haaland and Doku with the goals.

3 points required.

The dips and spuds play each other so some point droppage there.

Need to build a nice little cushion whilst we can.

Totspur always bend over for pool, that's an easy 3 points for them, fwiw I think we'll beat Wolves and Arse.

No chance Phillips starts. More chance of Moonbeam starting

I'd love a spuds win

I think if Alvarez can play there Jack could as well. I think you're underestimating Jack's ability to see the field or to deliver balls through the inside channels...JMO

Nah fuck that, we need the 3 points
