Was talking to a wolves fan the other day and he tells me that traore is lighting the place up for them, and he wouldn't have been a traore fan - traore has fcuk all brains but is powerful and fast and can cause problems

The players in the squad that are in xhaka's corner are in a no lose situation today - win and they will loudly declare that they did it for him, but if we lose they will claim that he was a big loss in the midfield :roll:

I know it applies most weeks, but today especially the first goal will be crucial - concede first and the atmosphere will be poisonous and a defeat will be a certainty.

This is a game that might be ideal for ozil - neves is their deep lying midfielder and neither of them will be arsed to mark the other. Dedonker will be worry in midfield for me - a big strong lad who will make dangerous runs forward if not tracked. I dont trust the douzi to be disciplined enough to track his runs, but I would also have concerns about torreira being physically strong enough for him.

Attitude and work-rate of our front 3 will likely decide the game - if they are bang at it with movement and work-rate I am confident that we will win, but if they are in another lazy mood I suspect zero points will come our way

For the love of fcuk will you please put bellend in as starter again ?? :banghead: :banghead:

I would have thought that if you were dropping pepe he would start martinelli :? What formation is he playing ? That diamond in midfield doesnt fcuking work, so unless he is going with diamond he will be playing ozil or ceballos on the wing :cussing: :cussing:

Hes making sure bellend lasts the season augie. Torreira and holding too.

He learned from our late season collapse last year.

Emery himself might not last the season ……….. he needs wins NOW

Cant agree that is our strongest team either - if our system is 4-3-1-2 then you could argue that swapping bellend for chambers is our strongest team - however I don't think that is the formation we will go with and 4-3-3 with those players wont work.

I am just praying that we don't go with 4-1-2-1-2 with torreira and Ceballos playing in front of guendouzi - no fcuking width at all

That formation works for me if ozil plays, but that requires ozil to be on his game every week cos otherwise it is a waste

As I said earlier. attitude and work-rate will be what wins (or loses) this match

Wolves look organised and full of energy. We look ragged and disorganised. Fucking hell.
