Wolves (A) - Sun 20th Oct, 14:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

KDB has pulled out of the October and November international breaks.

That's great news, although he really needs to knock it on the head permanently to prolong his club career.

Absolutely.

Hopefully de bruyne will make the bench. We need to accept he can longer play 2 90 minute matches within 3/4 days he really needs to be wrapped in cotton wool because we need his goals and experience for trips to anfield and the emirates.

Ederson

Rico
Dias
Ajanji
Gvardiol

Kovacic
Silva

Doku
Foden
Grealish

Haaland

We need energy and legs especially in the transitions where we seemed to get caught against Fulham

So glad this is on a Sunday and not Saturday 12:30, like we've had on many occasions in the past. That extra day preparation is vital in these games after the international break.
Also, is there any news that super Kevs starting any games for Belgium? I sincerely fuckin hope not!

He is not joining up with Belgium.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Yep, they haven't had the easiest start to the season ..... lost six of the seven league games they've played so far, and shipped 21 goals at the back already ..... they are desperate for a win, against anybody!

They ARE creating chances in games though, and sooner or later they WILL get that win ...... we will need to show an improvement at the back, get control in midfield, and hopefully wear them down .... oh, and avoid conceding any more needless goals!

Agreed they are the sort of team City could struggle to keep out. I think we need to score 3 to win. Not impossible BUT we need to be flying to score 3

I wish it was football manager and I could just skip this weekend/ week and get to next weekend.

Id rather watch woman’s football than England and that’s saying something

The full match replay of City's CL win against Barcelona is available to watch on DAZN website if you do feel so inclined. Great advert for the women's game.

[Bournemouth Blue]

On paper the next two PL games look relatively easy, but unfortunately both will be played on grass. I hope the next run of games see us back to the form we showed before the first international break.

I remember Nunes playing in this game last year and he was absolutely shite, seemed affected by the crowd and was hooked at half time, so I wouldn’t risk that again.
