Wolves (H) - Sun 22nd Jan, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Protein Junkie]

will have a tilt at the team , but it will be nothing like Peps selection

Ederson
Rico , Stones , Dias , Ake
Rodri
Alvarez , KDB ,Gundo
Mahrez , Haaland , Grealish

the majority of that team are the form players or returning from injury , apart from KDB but he has to return because he can turn a game in a moment of brilliance and we will need that against a usually dour Wolves team , the likes of Foden , Cancelo , Bernardo and a couple of others need to step up their game to get back in the team.

Should beat them with 12 on the pitch Jimmy :-)

Do you think we’ll get away with 12?

 

[BringBackSwales]

This would be my team.

Not mine, we are a better team with Gundogan in it

The way Kev is playing its only eleven:)

If we bung the referee , shouldnt be a problem

This is a good time to get Dias back up to speed.

I think we should go with

Eddie

Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
KDB Rodri Bernie
Mahrez Haaland Grealish

That's a fine team. Hoping that Kev will come out of his torpor, and astonish us all. As he did against this lot last season. But it's been said a thousand times — even when he appears to be out of the game, he can suddenly do something that no-one on the pitch (or indeed in the league) can do.
Still think Bernardo's got a role here, and still not 100% convinced that he's leaving. Believe it, his going would be a genuine loss.
Love Rico, but that back four is our best back four, for the time being, if everyone's fully fit.
I would consider dropping Ed, a bit in the way Pellegrini dropped Hart, in favour of Stefan Ortega. I don't say I would do it, but I would consider it. Nobody's going to seriously argue that Stefan's distribution is even in the same category as Ed's (although I noticed that one or two of Ed's did go astray, even the other night, but then there was that sublime long ball for Mahrez's second), but as shot stoppers, I frankly have them pretty equal, as things stand.

 

[Craig]

Ederson, Lewis?, Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland

You’re leaving Mahrez out!?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Same team for me please, except bring back Father Ruben for Akanji. Kev, Phil etc can stay on the bench, they’ve been a tad pants lately.

Would like to gain a little on the Arse but don’t want a rag win either (I think Arse will rip them a new one anyway). Play with the intensity of that second half against the spuddites and we will win.

You’re leaving Mahrez out!?

For Bernardo then mate

Is there a press conference today?

Can't find it or news of it anywhere. There was 1 a few weeks ago that only arrived at 10.30pm the night before the game. Maybe that's the case today.

Could be. Maybe Pep thinks he's said enough!!!

I'm not sure if £20 million a year would be enough for me to listen to those nonsensical questions from the journalists either.
