Wolves (h) pre-match thread

[bluebrickroad]

If we wish to progress in this competition it is imperative Ederson Santana de Moraes starts ahead of Bravo.

Its pissing it down.
Its cold.
Its the League Cup.
Its Wolves.
Its our second string.

So you should fly over for this cracker!!! ;-)
Well played mate!

It's City!

On my way to the airport now. Should be a good atmosphere and a big chance to see my local hero Ilkay tonight. Many people asked why I’m flying over for this match. It’s a City match so that’s the reason. Every match counts. Can’t do Napoli next week so I have to do this one. MCFCOK

"every match counts". Top stuff - you're so right. If City are playing, we need to be there.

I hope we will see a good performance from our second string tonight. We need to keep up the competition for the starting 11.

Same team that beat Burnley. All out for every game. They can put their feet up in June.

We don't need this competition and neither do Wolves. Anything could happen. Injury free ninety minutes is a result in my eyes.

We're on Bein, Channel 7 (if you can wangle it)

Disappointed that Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz aren't in this, I must say.

We handed the League Cup to the Scum last season, I don't think it is high on Pep's list of priorities.

Expect a strange eleven to turn out whilst Wolves will play a strong team, going to be a long evening.

thing is that's well and good on paper but simply wont work in reality given the way we play.

I'm sure it's not the highest on the list of priorities, but a home draw to a Championship side means that City can rotate with a good chance of still winning. And if so it's then the quarter final. When you get to that point the possibility of a trophy is obviously there. And Guardiola hasn't won anything at City yet, so I'm sure he'd like to. Not the most important no, but there are only four trophies a season to go for.

On a personal level, given 35 years of winning bugger all, and dreaming of a League Cup win, the day I dismiss this tournament as irrelevant, then I've lost something.
