Wolves (A) - Wed 11th May, 20:15 (BST) | Pre-Match Thread

[Dr Quincy]

Styles make fights and we struggle with Wolves. What I wouldn’t give for an early goal here to discourage them.

That said, a well rested Bernie to come back in is a huge bonus for us and with KDB in superstar mode we just need to make sure we convert the chances we will undoubtedly get.

4-2 City

Aké and Laporte at centre back for this, has to be.

Ake wont be fit in time...Pep has pretty much said as so already

 

[simon23]

Only way to defend now is not to let the other team have the ball even more than we normally do.......full on possession game, patience and once in front by a goal or two (if possible).....just even more possession

they have pace and movement upfront

with our back 4 the ay it is, its going to be tricky

 

[bert38]

Very unlikely Ake starts, in which case it will be Fernandinho. Not ideal but here we are.

 

[James2401125]

Ederson

Cancelo Laporte Rodri Zinchenko
Gundogan Bernardo KDB

Mahrez Foden Sterling

 

[TonyM]

I'd have Bernardo and Gundogan run midfield. I'd start KDB wide instead of in the middle. I just feel he'd frighten the life out of any team - sending in those crosses of his towards Jesus and Foden.

I'd have Cancelo being quite conservative - e.g. feeding Bernardo and Foden and sending long cross field balls towards KDB rather than running into the box.

.............Ederson..............
Cancelo Ake Laporte Zinchenko
Bernardo ..Rodri .....Gundogan
Foden ......Jesus ...........KDB

I'd bring on Mahrez, Palmer or Grealish at some point. I'd try to avoid bringing on Fernandinho unless we had to just to not overplay him.


(I wish Pep called me last Wednesday morning. tut tut tut)

No way on earth is gerrard letting Liverpool drop points in their game. Watch a few youth players make an appearance for villa.

This is a cup final for us (again) only concern is who’s our central defenders going to be. Typical city lose both centre backs for the last 3 games :-(

how do we keep getting these injuries
