WOLVES v CITY MATCH THREAD (Plus Earlier Games)

[Manx Blue]

Yea we should definitely not underestimate Wolves. They did VERY well against Liverpool and it took a sending off for Liverpool to score.

That's it AC....although IMO, we are better than Liverpool this season, and the change in manager will hopefully show our extra bit of class compared to the Reds.

[Manx Blue]

come on cant wait for this game. hopefully play the 4-3-3 that we finished up as against stoke, and to echo the sentiments of many, with bellamy instead of robbo COME ON CITY!

So...we'd be looking at

--------------------------------------------GIVEN--------------------------------
-------------------------- ZABALETTA TOURE KOMPANY SYLVIA------------
------------------------------ NI DEJO IRELAND BARRY --------------------------
--------------------------PETROV TEVEZ BELLAMY

...with maybe adding Richards and Sylvia starting on the Bench...Zabs at LB, which is how they finished I think? Can't see Garrido starting

ha ha no the team that finished the game. drop tevez for garrido lol! what i meant to say was the team that played the majority of the game!

which I think was the one above?

it most certainly was my friend

The Grey Matter hasn't failed yet then. Incidentally, Arlo White on R5L says the Press at Molyneux have Robinho playing up front off Tevez, with SWP being dropped to make way....this isn't confirmed, just speculation by the press, so we shall see what happens

Frickin' Hell, 'Dropped to make way', I thought he was 50-50 to play due to his injury? How can you drop someone who's not been playing?

FOOLS!!!

[colonel_muck]

its just sensationalism isn't it, wouldn't be surprised to see articles on SWP's unrest tomorrow now!

[The Original Special One]

Thinking ahead: I'm just wondering will Roberto consider pairing Barry with Kompany at centre-back, given our current injury record.
I'm not yet comfortable with the notion of Micah Richards or Zaba making last-ditch tackles in our penalty area.

I know Barry used to play left-back for Villa, and might even have played centre-back on occasion

He might be able to get somebody on loan, but I'd rather he work to improve our current defence rather than adding too many new defenders.


Pity about Chel$ki today

Wolves play better than their status suggests. If we score first and make them chase the game, then we will kill them with our speed of counter attack. If they get one early they will have 10 navvies out there building the Great Wall of Wolverhampton along the 18 yard line and will be very hard to break down.

Chris Baiey and the OS says its bitterly cold at Molyneux

[Beefymcfc]
