Did you listen to Coady interview?

All he said was people think we are on the beach but let me tell you Wednesday what a game (meaning he's ready to help the scouse cnts)

Coady on Wednesday then Gerrard last game bring it on

Gerrard will rest at least 5 players against Liverpool 100% the cnut won't even try

don't think Gerrard has come even remotely close enough as a Premier League-caliber manager to think he's earned tossing off a game just because he played for them for 15 years. Villa players or Villa fans don't give a fuck about helping Liverpool.
 
Ederson
Cancelo-Fern-Laporte-Zinchenko
-Rodri-Bernardo-
-Mahrez-Foden-Sterling
--Kev--

wouldn't be surprised to see Gundogan start to give a makeshift CB more cover, but not sure if we'd start him twice in four days.

Just to give a perspective from our end.

The Chelsea game was very welcome for us as the fans had really turned on the players, the first time ever for these lot, after the Brighton game. There was a lack of effort that day and we've been so boring for so long that people finally snapped. There had also been talk of a major row with the manager and players, so all was not well going to Chelsea and there was serious talk that Lage was off, which may seem absurd to outsiders but many fans wouldn't have cared.

So, the Chelsea performance, not just the result, was very welcome. We offered more of a threat than we have done for a long time and Pedro Neto put in the first performance since his injury that reminded us of the old Neto, who was one of the top young players in the league IMO.

We also have a young lad called Chiquinho who made two goals on Saturday and is a bit Traore like. Just runs at people, very fast but his crossing has been excellent - he put the ball in for Coady's equaliser.

Highly unlikely that we get 7th but we actually go into this game with a bit of hope considering how low we were after Brighton.

However, can't let one decent performance detract from the past few months. We are no longer really solid at the back, we lack mobility and if we concede first we often lose. It's something like 14 defeats in 16 when we concede first, all without scoring in those losses. Incredibly, the only times we have got anything after going a goal down is when it's been 2-0 - we won at Villa and then Saturday's draw.

In terms of team news, Saiss went off injured on Saturday, which is bad news for you as he has been a liability in recent weeks, although with Kilman injured we are pretty short on options, so Toti Gomes could start, only made a few appearances (did okay to be fair) having spent years on loan with Grasshoppers.

Would expect our XI to be this:

Sa
Boly, Coady, Toti
Jonny, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Ait-Nouri
Jimenez, Neto

Marcal could play ahead of Toti at left centre-back or Ait-Nouri if he wants a more experienced and perhaps reliable defender.

I expect you will force us back and dominate the ball as usual, we might have a bit of resistance in us as we generally do quite well at stopping you in comparison to others.

Would expect a relatively comfortable win for you though, and I'd say West Ham (A) looks the much tougher test. Perhaps because ours is a night game we might get a decent atmosphere going which could make it tough but we just aren't as good as we used to be, or as good as the Hammers.

Apologies for the long post, hope you win the league (as do virtually all Wolves fans) and obviously we can feel less guilty about getting a result now ;). Another fun final day taking the **** out of the scousers from the away end awaits us it seems.

Great post thanks. Good to have the perspective from a fan who isn't on here to play City bingo. If you lot could start singing 'we hope you win the league' it would go down well here and in many other parts of the country. And then on the last day if things work out 'it's happened again, it's happened again, you scouse bastards, it's happened again'.

Really good insight mate, thanks for this. Hope Chiquinho’s pace isn’t too much of an issue against Fernandinho!

Good luck in your remaining games (apart from Wed obviously) and please give the vermin hell on the final day!!

I know a couple of Wolves fans from Ashton, decent lads who have never been gobby shites even when we were promotion rivals a few years ago. Hope we can win on Wednesday and I’m sure you’ll enjoy your day out laughing at the Dippers on the final day of the season.
 
City V the media for this one.

Hope Atkinson doesn't want to sulky his career by giving Wolves a win.
