Manchester City (A) 4/5: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Dire Wolf]

Think he will give neto half an hour as he's been on the grass more than the others.

At least he'll be chilled then.

 

[Dinowolf]

Also, of course if Santi is fit to play then he goes in at CH and we can put Semedo back where he's supposed to be.

.....and won't need to pick Doherty

 

[sycophantia]

Hopefully if we can stay in the game (probably a vain hope) he can come on for 20 minutes and do summat.

Not in the matchday squad if X is to be believed.

350/1 to win introductory offer on William Hill, code EP350WOL. Might have to waste a tenner on that.

The good news is that you Can win a guaranteed £120 if you lay the bet at Betfair.
The bad news is that you’d need £3400 in you betfair account to lay it.

Getting out to a pub with the Charlotte Wolves (such as we are) for this, hopefully the lads can help our drinks go down easy.

So… is that a back four then?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sa

Semedo
Kilman
Toti
H Bueno

Traoré
J Gomes
Lemina

Cunha
Hwang
Ait-Nouri

 

[Jinky]

I think Lemina will basically play as the third CB inbetween Kilman & Toti out of possession.

 

[The Bear]

Deffo looks like 4-3-3.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No Neto on the bench but Bellegarde is there

 

[sycophantia]

Wish GON wouldn't suggest injured players might be available when clearly there is no chance. Not sure what he gains from it.

Weird isn’t it? This time he even mentioned playing them from the start if they are ready. Why bother? It’s going to make rock all difference to the opposition and only mildly annoy your own fans.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ken used to do it but in reverse. "Yeah, no chance James Henry will make this one" and then come 2pm there he was on the team sheet. Just odd.

Another weird one with Okoduwa after the Arsenal game, he was asked about him and said "it's a shame we couldn't get him on the pitch". You could have if you wanted to!

All managers have at least one oddball tic though.

City couple in here saying Wolves is the “armpit of England”. Then I took off my jacket.

(Wearing my Moutinho shirt obv)

The Wolves app has it as 3-5-1-1 with RAN being the right sided CB.

That’ll fox them.

Makes about as much sense as Nelson playing there!

We are wolves not foxes. You should know this.
