Team v Liverpool

[Minimalist]

Sa
Jonny Boly Coady Gomes RAN
Chiquinho Neves Moutinho Neto
Jimenez
​

With hindsight I think this should have been the team v city too.

Probably bring Silva on at half time if Jimenez is ineffective.

Yeah, I think both Gomes and Chiquinho have done enough to deserve a start and I'd agree with your lineup.

 

[clivewolves]

I would like to see Gomes play on the left of the three. It will be a big test for him up against Salah on that side of the pitch. I would like to see how he handles it alongside Ait-Nouri.

I also think Neto and Chiquinho have to play. One of the few vulnerabilities Liverpool have, if you can call it that, is the high line the defence plays. We will need pace to beat it.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Strong as possible. I don’t want us having our tummy tickled and giving the scousers a leg up.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Cant see us going back four or two in midfield
More likely two up top with Neto and Raul,bring Chico on after the hour with Pod probably

IF?

 

[Sketchead]

It really, really doesn't matter. Liverpool have to win to have any chance of winning the league, and we've shown in recent months we've got nothing about us, apart from that last 10 mins vs Chelsea. We're going to get absolutely tonked.

10 behind the ball and lobbing it up to Raul to chase in the corners when we can. Goody.

(Would like to see Trincao)

Likely to get a battering but its a solid team

 

[The Wolf In The North]

I seriously doubt it will matter to the scoreline who actually plays, but I'd be disappointed if Chiquinho, Neto, Silva and Ait-Nouri - four players who will surely be here next here, and who at least actively try and get forward, even if it doesn't come to much - don't start. More than happy for Toti to be in there too. If we lose, we lose, but let's do it with some fire in the belly.

 

[John de Wolf's hairdryer]

If we lose, we lose...

Is there any serious doubt about whether we're going to lose?

Any result other than defeat would be a bigger shock than Leicester winning the Premier League in 2016!

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Think it’s a question of whether we want to play an attacking formation to at least try to make it a game, or play the most solid line up we have to try to restrict Liverpool. Unfortunately against City, we tried the former and got skinned alive. Can’t see Liverpool being any different if we tried it again. If we try to stay tight, Liverpool will score and we won’t.

Also, while it would be great to test our likely remainers ahead of next season, if they get hammered on the final day, it’s not the greatest start to an important summer. However any of those who know they are likely to leave are hardly likely to go full throttle and risk an injury, so I wouldn’t start any of them.

All irrelevant anyway.

Don't forget the Premier league title is at stake. I guess he try to thwart Liverpool and hope for a lucky break.

Anything can happen on the day. City race into a 2-0/3-0 lead early on, news filters through, a couple of red heads go down. One of theirs gets sent off for clopping Chiq or Neto. Pressure mounts. A Neves farewell screamer. We play with a nothing-to-lose freedom...

Got to have hope, right?

I know it is, but I honestly can’t see anything other than a defeat whatever team we put out. Too many of our key players are either injured or not fully back to their sharpest, and too many of the others, appear to have given up after Leeds. While I’d love to frustrate Klopp and cause him to blow a fuse by putting ten behind the ball and stopping everything, I think the officials will be kind to them and give them the decisions they need to break us down.

 

[sc91]

The patterned and trademarked Lage(r) lump 2-2-4-1-1 tactic I presume to give the scousers a much deserved guard of honour.

 

[WalsallWolf]

Not looking forward to the match I think we are gonna get an absolute tonking and it will be an unjust way to bid farewell to Neves/Mout/Saiss and possibly one or two others.

This is the last time we will see them in a Wolves shirt. A draw against a poor Norwich side and very likely a good hammering on the last match. I actually resent the club, fosun and the working mens club committee for how they have let this era finish. The past 4 transfer windows have been awful. I want to see big changes this summer.

Day should be good though, always enjoy Liverpool.

Can't see Ruddy starting. He's had his Molineux farewell and would imagine player of the season Sa would be pretty upset to miss the final game of our season and a match that helps decide the championship. Norwich at home is one thing but Liverpool away is another. I'm sure Lage wants to avoid a last day thrashing at the hands of Liverpool and will do anything possible, any of the tightest margins to ensure that doesn't happen.

My only hope for this game is that Man City gallop into a comfortable lead early on and Klopp decides to take off key players to ensure they're fit and rested for the Champions League final. I'm never a naysayer and I'm optimistic to a fault but I'd take a defeat of a two goal margin now and then Praise the Lord that this season, which was going so well but is now turning into a car crash in slow motion, is finally over. Looking forward to summer weekends without football.

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

If I was one of the players, I'd stick a couple of pencils up my nose and say wibble to get out of playing in this one

Well, if Hollywood were scripting it in a motion picture perhaps, but, c'mon, we all know it simply ain't going to happen.

I had hope when we played Liverpool at home earlier in the season, at a juncture when we were playing with purpose more often than not. With our recent form (let's face it, we've lost our way since February) up against theirs, with what is potentially at stake for them, I put our chances of winning at no more than 1 in 1,000. Theoretically possible, but, sadly, in reality simply not about to happen.

Nah, I’d have Sondergaard on the left and Moulden on the right tbh.

I just hope we give it a good go against Liverpool.
With all due respect for what he did for us in the past, I hope Boly doesn't appear in defence unless there is another injury.

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Whoever we field I think it's worth asking for a 2 goal start to make it more interesting.

 

[steve vena]

Is it totally against the rules to put all 11 on the goal line and just block it off and don't move?
Might nick a 0-0.
Like in cricket when the late great Ian Chappel once bowled underarm to an opposing batsman. Can't remember who it was though without looking it up. Innovation!

How would you block off the top level of the goal, if your players were not 11 giants with large heads? Otherwise, sounds good.
