Team vs Wolves

[Impspur1]

Agree with those putting Phillips straight in, I think he will play.

Ange doesn’t strike me as the sort to shy away from big decisions and a worry over age etc

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

That back 4 v city is scary. Its even scary v villa after this game

CBs will be an obvious concern, but Udogie will be back.

Villa, City and Brighton will feast against our high line with no VdV. Can only hope the injury is less serious than what we assume.

At this point if the news was he I'd back 1st Jan 2024 I'd take it right now

Absolutely zero chance he plays against City mate.

 

[BigVic]

I honestly think we should throw in Phillips against Wolves.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Vicario
Porro Dier Phillips Royal
Bissouma PEH Maddison
Kulusevki Son Johnson

Were in trouble either way, so bit of an experienced head in the middle for Saturday makes a ton of sense to me.

It's that you Antonio?

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Johnson has to start obviously. If Maddison isn't fit then Gio starts, the only reason we kept him is for situations like this. The defence who knows, would start Dier as I felt he did well yesterday but beyond that... Im guessing Davies at LCB (if fit) but would be tempted to try one of the kids.

 

[rabbikeane]

Bentancur isn't ready to be a starter

Our high line v Villa's high line is gonna be some watch.

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

If Bentancur feels ready I’d bring him in for Sarr as well. Think we’re going to need to be more assured on the ball in midfield and control things in that area a bit more. Defence won’t be as comfortable on the balI. like the energy Sarr brings but his control, ball manipulation and passing is a bit rushed and inconsistent still. Need as many top end press resistant players in the team as possible now imo. Can understand if it’s to early though but against Villa he should come in.

————————— Vicario —————————
Porro —— Dier ———— Phillips —— Emerson
—————— Sarr ———— Bissouma —————
Johnson ——— Kulusevski ——— Gil
————————— Son ———————————-

Maddison for Gil if fit and set up as per last night re the front players.

Possibly Richarlison for Son subject to fitness.

I wish I had his money and a job I could publicly hate and moan about

 

[PLTuck]

Most interesting will be the backline. We have a couple of options, none of which are ideal but we could go

Porro, Emerson, Dier, Davies
Porro, Dier Phillips, Emerson

Could even go Porro, Dorrington, Phillips, Emerson but that would be very risky and harsh on Dier who was very good last night.

If Maddison is injured we also have options. Kulu could play there and have Johnson, Son, Richy up top. Gil could play there but again big risk there as he is an unknown quantity under Ange. GLC the obvious backup but since looking really good in preseason, he's not really impressed when called on.

Whatever the lineup, in Ange I trust.

 

[Athenspur]

I suspect we'll see Hojbjerg next to Dier at CB. Otherwise, Davies if he's fit.

 

[YB123]

Hopefully we go:

Porro. Dier. Phillips. Emerson.

As the back four. Do Wolves have pace in behind?

Will play Kaladzic or Silva who are not quick.

 

[YB123]

Ange doesn’t strike me as the sort to shy away from big decisions and a worry over age etc

Ange said in an interview that he likes to see if young players sink or swim when thrown into the mix of games.

So I think we could see Phillips who has trained closely.

Wonder if this is another thread I get "insufficent priveleges to reply" to for no reason at all....

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Richarlison due to have surgery on his pubis bone. That’s from him as opposed to the club.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Villa, City and Brighton will feast against our high line with no VdV. Can only hope the injury is less serious than what we assume.

Looked like 6 weeks out at least.

 

[jimbo]

I'd like to see Phillips get a start, but with just a few days to Wolves I could also see it being sensible to wait for the international break to prepare him better, then again with Romero out it's a chance to give him game time on his preferred side (which I'm assuming is the right) and someone else on the left before we need him to cover Micky's absence.

I think Ange is more likely to start him than not, and however he chooses to line us up, I'll support it.
