Hmm.

In Rodri’s absence, I can’t say I’m overly confident we will keep too many clean sheets, particularly away from home.

I’ll go for a hard fought 1-3 victory.

I’ll take a cagey 5-nil victory.

stones 3 starts in 10 days? wow, pep gambling big

He is asking for it!

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

I am on the pringles today, lol

So if it’s true that “once you pop, you can’t stop”, why do they have a resealable lid?

Christ knows what going on with Phil.

I guess Pep knows more about this management guff than I do. Very strange, though, Foden not being in the team. I'm assuming he's over his illness, him having played for England.

I think Foden doesn’t start as Bernardo , Gundogan and Kovacic give us more control in midfield.

 

[DMA's]

That is such a better side. So much more attacking threat

 

[ninjamonkey]

Like that. Pace on the wings, control in the middle. Gundo will always start after international breaks now that he's retired so no surprise there. That bench is worryingly weak for a squad that's only missing 4 players. Haaland to feast today

 

[striver]

His ability to step into midfield is going to be needed over the next few months, hopefully take him off early with a decent lead.

is he still stepping into it, don't remember the last time he did that role tbh, akanji is doing it more often now. wouldn't want stones do it, too risky for him.

Wolves are bottom of the league - it's seriously worrying if Pep doesn't trust Phil in midfield against them IMO.
