Thank fuck they won’t have Traore for one of his two good apps per season!

First trip to Molineux for me, where are the best away pubs before the game?

 

[Claytop]

Saw their game against Chelsea, they played very well and should have won. Not an easy game, let's hope Ake is fit.

They’d been pretty abject before that one though, if we play well we win.

Neither away games are easy but we should win them both.

Not denying we should win and we will if we play like we did today.

The fear with wolves is usually the struggle to break them down rather than shutting them down upfront. They are quite an adept counter attacking side with tricky pacy forwards so they could pose a problem with the state of our squad. I always thought this looked our trickiest tie in the run in and the defensive problems strengthens that believe. We're going to have to be ruthless upfront and make sure we don't have to rely on a patched up defence. Go at them hard and don't settle until the games well and truly over.

Ederson
Cancelo
Fernandinho
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernardo
Kdb
Sterling
Foden
Jesus.

I'm assuming ake isn't 100%, we can't risk him getting injured and ruled out for the rest of the season too so we give him until the weekend to recover.

Thats the team id go for. Gundogan was great today and is hard to leave out but bernardo is our engine

Great.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Have we no centre back at all from our EDS that can fill in?

 

[chaddblue]

Surely if Ake was fit enough to make the bench today he'll be ok? If not i'm not sure who's best to stick at cb out of rodri or dinho

Not only make the bench he was warming up
