Wolves (H) | Pre-Match Thread

Anyone have a nagging feeling that Mendy plays later...

Up against Traore? I really hope not

Wolves seem to be slow starters in most games then come on strong in the second half. I hope we can blitz them early doors then contain them and pick them off on the counter. We always have a tough game against them and I guess tonight will be no different

I hope Pep doesn't make the mistakes he made against West Ham and pick half fit rusty players. We got away with it just but it was a close call.

Full strength, plenty of energy and I'm afraid at the minute full strength doesn't include KDB or Aguero. They can get 30 minutes if we have the game done and dusted.

We don't play the rags until Sunday and they play tomorrow night so we'll have another day's rest. Win tonight, pile the pressure on the rags and if we're even twelve points clear dropping points against them would mean nothing except local pride.

Agree , obviously we have to re-integrate players from injuries , but playing two players who havent played for months is a risk , we should play either Aguero or KDB against Wolves not both of them .We have fully fit and in-form players chomping at the bit waiting to be involved.
We have 3 months and possibly another 20 odd games , plenty of time to get injured players back up to speed , if Aguero is only fit for the Champs league final but scores the winner, its a cross we have to bear :)

Depends on Pep's team selection imho, that said, I wouldn't even try to second guess the team he will pick.
We saw what happened last weekend. It wasn't good even though we got the win. On the day, there were at least a couple of the players who weren't anywhere near the level required (for whatever reason). The substitutions worked.

Yep. Early goal kills it as a contest.

No chance, the second is the killer. One goal is NEVER enough to kill a Premier League match.

As well as Serg and Kev I thought Gundogan looks a bit off the pace since he got back from his recent groin injury..So in effect we had 3 rusty players last week.

I'd like to see Pep try Cancelo in the new dipper Tront midfield™ position that Klopp has innovated this season.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Way too many squeaky botties on here, I can assure you all that Wolves will be very concerned playing the most in form team in Europe, tonight, 3-0 City, whatever team Pep starts with ... !

Come on you Mighty Blues, the only thing that’s kept me sane during this shitty lockdown ..
