Wolves (H) | Pre-Match Thread

Nothing to choose between them Walker is the better defender and he covers right across the back four ,Zinchenko was badly caught out for the West Ham goal but is the better offensive player. We will not play teams as good and well organised as West Ham every week , so Zinchenko gets away with his occasional lapses against inferior opposition. They both have good and bad points , but we are lucky to have two very good full backs.

Torres was day dreaming, let the full back get a run on him. Zinchenko was doing what he was supposed to do

The winger wasnt Torres responsibility it was Zinchenko's , just like Mahrez doesnt track back on the other side , Zinchenko was initially twenty yards away when Coufal recieved the ball , the left back marks the right winger.
Pep's tactics are when we attack we defend as a three and the full back is inverted , and when defend we revert to a back four , Zinchneko did not do his job. To be fair its the only thing he did wrong all the game.

It was the West Ham full back who gets a run on Torres from the half way line, who crossed the ball

Wing back/winger makes no difference , he's essentially the full backs responsibilty looks like we have a difference of opinion so i will leave it at that.

Tough game this & another we may have to grind out 1-2 nil, whatever team Pep chooses will be good enough to win it, but with plenty of prep time before the derby I expect him to go strong, Wolves have a few injury issues with Boly & Podence missing & obviously Jimenez, but will still cause us problems, especially Neto whom I rate highly, I wouldn’t be averse to the club moving Mahrez on in the summer & replacing him with Neto and maybe even Podence as well, both have huge potential

Football fans are a strange bunch.....had a quick look on one of the Wolves forums, they expect to get battered, anything less than 3-0 will be a result they'd happily take now but, this caught my eye.

The best we can hope for is Man City to have their worst game of the decade. Don't forget Martyn Tyler is on their side

Think you should watch it again. It's on the Mcfc website

Have been really unimpressed with Wolves this season. Jimenez and Jota are big misses for them.
If we have decent energy levels I can see only one outcome and that's a City win.

They have been way off their usual standards in recent seasons. The two players you've mentioned is a huge part of that. Podence and Boly unavailable tomorrow too.
I reckon Nuno will make changes too after playing Saturday night.

For me the throw in to someone being tightly marked in the middle of the pitch was the main reason for that goal. Accident waiting to happen that and it proved to be.
