Team v City

[mcwolf]

don,t know why but i really fancy wolves to give city a good drilling......

 

[OoohRobbieRobbie]

If we play 4 at the back against City we'll lose heavily.

4-1 Branchy to score

 

[Peszkywolf]

532 for me as well, Donk is actually good in these sort of games, provides a bit of height as well. Neto and Raul up front, not that they're exactly firing on all cylinders ATM.
Let's face it, a draw would feel like a win against that lot...... Put 5 past Newcastle who we barely laid a glove on.

**** 5 at the back. Just go for it against Man City and show them no respect and let our attacking players enjoy themselves.

Losing 8-2 wont be very enjoyable

 

[Jonzy54]

Losing 8-2 wont be very enjoyable

I remember us beating them 8-1

 

[Beeches wolf]

Diaz is now injured, with also Stones and Walker both out they have defensive problems.

 

[Ponty]

Talk of all out attack, four at the back etc is nonsense. As ever the pressure is on City to win but with three games keft that pressure is greater than normal. Keep it tight and if, and it’s a massive if, we can get to the hour level opportunities on the break will come as they get more edgy.

I’d keep RAN and Chiquinho on bench in the hope they can come on and have an impact.

 

[Justawolf]

We'll blast the title race open again Wednesday, and slam it shut for the scousers on the last day.

I hope that you are right but.....

Just play chiquinho or Trincao, Im thinking start trincao and put chiquinho later on.

Just attack full guns blazing from the off, let’s make it a good game at least, nothing to lose.

Citeh are eminently capable of scoring 6, 7 or more against any team mad enough to go gung ho against them. Do l want to see Wolves humiliated? Hell no!

 

[Wenlock Wolf]

We'll play counter attack I'm pretty sure, with 5 at the back and 3 in midfield and it worked quite well against Chelsea, except for wasteful finishing!

Subject to fitness I'd have the same starting 11, but get Trincao & Chiquinho on sooner. Hwang just does nothing for me, so Fabio would be a better option off the bench.

We have a good record against Citeh so why not pull off a surprise?

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Maybe we could look at what Real Madrid did to beat them?

 

[Scallywolf]

I remember us beating them 8-1

Bloody hell Jonzy I do as well.

I think that was the first match of the1962/63 season when we hammered Tesco’s 7-0 and Burnley 7-2 as well.

I remember it so well. I was 10 years old and in a minibus with my brothers football team after watching them play away in the Wolverhampton Amateur League. We had to come past Molineux after the game and asked what the score was.

8-1!!! Never forget it. Hope City have forgotten it though!

Showing our age Jonzy.

And borrow their players

Down to their last 63 fit players such a shame poor pep

 

[Chris H]

Maybe we could look at what Real Madrid did to beat them?

Play Benzema?

 

[Scallywolf]

With Haaland to come as well!

City’s subs bench is good enough for Real Madrids first team.

Torn between same setup as Saturday or to go 343, given they have apparent defensive issues - feels like we should go for it a bit more. Let's be honest our season is over unless we win at least two of the next three, so we may as well try to score first rather than waiting until we concede to throw people on.

Agree with the sentiment but not the selection. Chiquinho starts for me, not Trincao, and Moutinho not Dendoncker (especially against a side like City)

 

[Ponty]

The old ruse of lull them into a false sense of security and hit them in the 90th minute. Just need Fabio to find his inner Benzema!

 

[JonahWolf]

100% need luck. They’ll have possession and we have to be switched on to their movement throughout. We also need an outlet (like a Neto yesterday) to avoid just passing straight back to them.

But they do also play a suicidally high line, with Dias not quite in the imperious form he was for the last 1.5 seasons.
Southampton and Palace pressed them to death, but Spurs do what we’re allegedly good at: sit in deep then counter. If Neto, Chiquinho or similar get the run on them, there’s always a chance.
No Walker magical recovery pace to bail them out either.

Is Adama back with us yet? He has a good record aginst City!

I'd argue that was about crosses into the box, another big reason to play Chiquinho for me

Horses for courses. What is unacceptable against Burnley and Newcastle isn’t necessarily so against the best team in the world.

Dias ruled out for the rest of City's season with a hamstring injury

Let's defend like Porto,,6 at the back , with flying wing backs.
Marcal is a better defender than RAN.

Brilliant. We'd still lose. City are something else. I don't even get angry watching them beat us. It's like they play a different game to everyone else. Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne and Mahrez are absolutely majestic players
