Wolves (h) pre-match thread

Also has this macho thing where he has to out muscle someone before he will release the pass. Annoys me.

Anelka used to do something similar. Weird ego thing where he'd take his time and hold a player off needlessly before releasing the ball.

I'm off for now. For those interested. 1.30pm as usual.
@karen7 surely delivers key points :)

It's gonna be a cold one. Hope everyone's wrapped up.

This will be one of our hardest games

why?

 

[mosssideblue]

Tight game this one hopefully our good form can edge it cmmon city.

If we can only edge it based on current form, we may as well go home

Im hoping that Wolves are expecting the City that played them in August/Sep in which case they might be a bit surprised that were now approaching full flow and are a different proposition in the Etihad as we were at their gaff. Forget the cup game with half a team playing half arsed last year as well this will be City full on.
Although it won't be easy I expect us to win.

PEP (On @sterling7's letter to fan) If young players like Raheem can show real values and have impact, it’s good.

PEP (On January transfer window) The big clubs don't buy players for six months. If you don’t have injuries and you are satisfied with the squad, it’s going well, we will play with the players we started the season with.

PEP (Wolves are) strong, physical, good at set pieces, strong on the counter attack. When you are tired in the last minutes, they put on new players. They defend deep, switch play, and control many areas.

PEP @aguerosergiokun was sick right after the game against Liverpool. He is a little bit better, and today was his first training session. @VincentKompany is recovering. He’s getting better. The rest are fit.

Pep says he didn't speak to Kevin De Bruyne after the midfielder walked straight down the tunnel following his substitution against Burton.

What’s up with Vincent? How long is he out now? Doesn’t sound that bad.

He came off near the end of the Liverpool game - they were going to sub another player but Vinny indicated he needed to come off. Looked like a minor muscle strain.
