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

Same intensity as second half v. Spurs.
Blitz them from the start - no phony war today.

Keeps fucking about with the lineup doesn’t he. Gutted for Alvarez.

Someone’s fucking about is somebody else’s rotation…

Predicting a loss! Why doesn't Alvarez start.

Please join us in the match thread. You have just the right attitude.

Wolves must be shitting themselves seeing that teamsheet.

They’re probably worried about ours too.

Good to see us having a settled back 4.... ;)

Surprised Aké is making way for Laporte and not Akanji. Also thought Bernardo would get the nod ahead of Gundo, because he must be knackered.

Hopefully KDB finds his form!

Giving the matchday thread a miss today.

Never know what to expect these days. Let's hope Pep's Delia Smith moment does the trick...

I can understand Pep's reluctance to drop KDB two games on the run as it would send out a message that he is no longer first choice. KDB is realistically the only player who could make way from that side for Alvarez as otherwise leaves us short in midfield.

If we do need to bring Alvarez on I hope he gets more than the usual 15 minutes.

One of these days we would have a regular starting 11. I would keep holding on till that happens.

Pep needs to tinker at least a little bit.

resting Alvzrez for Arsenal?
