Wolves (h) pre-match thread

Is kompany anywhere near fit yet?

If he is fit, he doesn't get in this side unless Otamendi slips up.

Probably not but I'd be happy to see him tomorrow night if he's close to fitness

I'd play Mangala - he's consistently fit and ready to play, If Vince can get fit to play with him then great.

Our full backs can't play every 3 days.
Wonder who can fill in besides Danilo.

Pep hinted at Zinchenko.

I'd like to see a back 3 with tosin and mangala if Vinny was fit as well

Bravo
Danilo Stones Mangala Zinchenko
Bernardo Toure Gundogan
Sterling Aguero Jesus

Bring off the front 3 in the second half if we're winning comfortably.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Pep hinted at Zinchenko.

Interesting. Has he played in that position before ?

 

[eversince 76]

Not for us. Not for PSV. Not for the national team.
However nor did Delph.

Nope.

I'm torn between 2 outlooks on this game.

On one hand I think we should be weary of a team that's obviously PL quality from the way they're playing in the Championship.

On the other hand, I feel like playing successful possession football vs. Championship clubs is a world away from coming to our place and trying to play that way against us - the best team in the world on form. If they try to play their normal game and aren't good enough, it'll be a slaughter, similar to how our half-baked possession based style was torn apart by Barcelona under Pellegrini's tenure.

We really need to win though, we can see from United how momentum is very hard to get back once you've lost it.

Just heard Sam Lee on @BillyShears podcast saying Brahim picked up an injury on Saturday and is not likely to play.

 

[kimbanor]

acording to Odds, they are giving Wolv 15.1 in odds, lower then Stok and Burnly had against us the past weekends, so there will be rotation,
I think we will play AJ up front.
Jesus has rested so he is ready.
I still feel confident we will win 3 or 4-0
or maybe this is the game we end up scoring 9+ [emoji28]

 

[Tbilisi]

Great if Pep is resting everyone, makes so much sense. We will no more lose momentum by getting beat v Wolves as we would getting beat v Bradford

 

[Stuuuuuu]

Can anyone tell me if this will be available to watch on TV?

 

[Aytoun]

Not on TV. The TV people would never show a PL side against a Championship side. Oh wait a minute last round was rags v a suit company.

Exactly. Why would they want to show top of Premier league side v top of Championship side when they can show yet another United game versus anyone.
I'm going to the game, but this really pees me off when it's an away match.

 

[Bozo]

Expecting a copy of the Burnley game to be honest. Wolves will set up well, be stubborn and hard to break down.

Fuck's sake.

With that in mind, it's likely that we will see a front three of something like Sterling, Jesus, Aguero, which really should be enough to 'offset' te awkawrdness of a Zinchenko-Mangala-Tosin-Danilo defense. :)

Bein sports 1 and arena sports 2 are the most gettable, if you don't have a paid service the live net tv apk has both these channels working

If that is the case, just give Benjamin Garre a chance. Been very impressive this season for the EDS.
