Wolves (H) | Pre-Match Thread

I can't understand why some select Cancelo at LB when Zinchenko is in great form.

Shoehorning Walker into the team.

 

[MK-Blues]

Since Laporte has returned from his injury (following the time out as punishment for his mistake against Spurs), Pep has been rotating the three and each plays two games and then sits one out.

These were February games ... and the central defenders played in them:

West Ham - Dias + Stones
Gladbach - Dias + Laporte
Arsenal - Dias + Stones
Everton - Dias + Laporte
Spurs - Stones + Laporte
Swansea - Garcia + Laporte
Liverpool - Dias + Stones
Burnley - Dias + Stones

Looking at that ... I think this is who will play next three:

Wolves - Stones + Laporte
United - Dias + Laporte
Southampton - Dias - Stones

Pep might change the games a bit and Stones-Dias may play the derby together but it's very likely that one of them is sitting Wolves out and Laporte coming in ...

yes looking at that list he has not played same two in a row. except first two games in feb but i think laporte was out then and only came back from that swansea game onwards.

Shoehorning Walker into the team.

thats exactly why.

Shoehorning Walker into the team.

I understand that but I think Zinchenko deserves to keep his place on current form.

Dias only missed Spurs as he was sick mate.

I understand that but I think Zinche

That's what shoehorned is.
Putting someone or something into a place where its not really meant to be.
People want to accommodate Walker and leaving Zinchenko out is an easy option for them.

Why would Pep omit Bernardo & Foden from two matches on the trot? Gundog needs a rest before the derby.
