Legend_in_blue Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 I'd expect us to win this based on what I saw of us yesterday and Wolves today.

Not sure Traore will be fit for this and Dendoncker could come in either at CB for Bennett (unlikely as he was one of our better players tonight), or at DM instead of Moutinho. I felt as brilliant as Neves is going forward he was very vulnerable when Everton attacked with pace hopefully N’Didi will smother him. You will improve as the season goes on and think it could be a good time to play you.

danny2997 Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 I honestly hope we smash these. Not because I've got anything against the team, just fed up with everyone thinking they'll walk the step up and finish top 8. 1
lcfc sheff Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 (edited) Kasper Ricardo Evans Maguire chilwell Hamza Ndidi albrighton Maddison Gray Vardy Ricardo and Albrighton I think would suit each other’s game, similar partnership to the Penaar and Baines one at Everton years ago. Marc is definitely the forgotten man, harsh considering his work rate and output not being actually too bad. Hamza to be more box-to-box, but most importantly him and Ndidi cover the fullbacks / Maguire when they go forward. I actually think hamza is better at sensing the danger than Ndidi. Gray, Maddison and Chilwell will get their rewards soon just need a little more time to play together before we see it, next 3 to get England call ups if successful this season I reckon. Vardy has to start, Ricardo will pick him out if the last game was anything to go by. Edited 12 August 2018 by lcfc sheff 2
Guest Col city fan Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 Stop Neves, stop Wolves. It’s pretty much that simple I think. He’s their jewel
Tuna Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 Just don't give away needless free kicks within 25 yards of our goal.

woollett the bullet Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 Although we put in an excellent performance in a largely open game on friday , I think a truer test of improvement will be against sides like these at home. As others have said, any side that gets numbers behind the ball from the off or worse - decide to totally shut up shop after 60/70 mins on a 1-0 lead will see if we have developed from those awful games towards the end of last season. Hope so , need to get 3 points on the board. COYB !
SheppyFox Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 I see nothing to fear in Wolves, we made Man Utd, at old Trafford look like port vale in an Fa cup match. 1
Gerard Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 On 11/08/2018 at 16:11, The Doctor said: Seriously doubt Man City were ever in for him. Man's dirge. Second worst signing of the summer on paper, and that's only because we signed Ward for some reason. It was reported by every news agency and Guardiola talked about him saying Man City "couldn't afford him".

l444ry Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 If the Man Utd performance was as good as some keep rattling on about then it should be the same starting eleven. Just saying!

Just saying! It was a pretty good performance but I think we all would like to see Vardy start up front, as well as potentially dropping Ricardo back to RB and putting Ghezzal in on the wing.
MC Prussian Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 Easy first half for Wolves, 3-0 up after 45 minutes, then we surprise them with four goals after the break... (Just give me a game that makes up for this horrible score) 1
MC Prussian Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 On 10/08/2018 at 23:20, The Doctor said: Mostly the same but Morgan out for Benkovic or Caglar (Evans is no better than Morgan let's be honest), and Periera at full back, give Ghezzal a go at the wing. Not sure whether Benkovic is fully fit and/or first team material yet, Söyüncü needs his work permit first. Could well be Maguire and Morgan starting yet again. Morgan remains untouchable as captain.

Their lack of attacking output cost them.
That_Dude Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 First real test but I'm confident that we'll win. Hopefully Evans will be fit. 3-1 City.
les-tah Posted 12 August 2018 Posted 12 August 2018 (edited) Puel is not going to play 352 with 3 centrebacks who have hardly ever spoke!!! im guessing a similar setup with Ricardo in for Amartey, Vardy back in and hopefully Evans in for Morgan. Edited 12 August 2018 by les-tah
