The poster claimed tactically ahead of us - I’m not in doubt Wolves are good and in Nuno have an excellent tactical coach, but to say ahead of us at this stage of pre season tactically - when Wolves struggled to break down a 11 men semi pro defensive block whilst we beat one of Europe’s most tactically unique teams - is an exaggeration of the scenario.

The Bear Posted 7 August 2019 Share Posted 7 August 2019 (edited) I'm not sure how we'd be ahead tactically in any situation. Our tactics are about three years old now. We rarely ever change. Edited 7 August 2019 by The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 7 August 2019 Share Posted 7 August 2019 I think we'll concede something stupid, maybe twice, especially if Ndidi doesn't play. It all depends how well we can hold them against the ropes, and how well we can nullify their counterattacks. Neves and Coady's long balls will be key to snuff out, as hard as that task is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves are a good team - technically we’ve played more games than them (6 to their 4); I think them being superior tactically and fitness wise is an exaggeration in the extreme Interesting. I do hope you are right. Hoping we get off to a great start first 4 games. Will get us in good standing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gamble92 Posted 8 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 8 August 2019 I imagine the kind of people predicting a 1-2 defeat are sat with a flask and cheese and pickle sandwich wrapped in foil, still wishing Lloyd Dyer was there to berate. Now picking on any youth product, and of course booing Ghezzal and Gray. Always relentlessly show up, despite seemingly hating it when we win, and smugly reminding us how right they are when we lose. Radio Leicester on speed dial. Wife hopelessly awaits in the bungalow ready for a post match analysis despite much rather wanting to watch Strictly Come Dancing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Wolves are a good team with a great Manager but I do think their match today will have a negative impact on them and if we are on it, we can win this. I think will be a tight battle between them, us and Everton for 7th this season, with West Ham probably just falling short of that challenge. No doubt the Europa League will have an impact on Wolves though which could help us finish above them. Everton are a curious one. Spending big but I really back Rodgers and our spirit over these types of teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Wolves will be tough this season - more so than last I imagine. If we get anything out of the game I’ll be pleased. Perfectly doable. Right, where’s my blanket, bone china tea set, cheese and pickle sandwich and French fancies. Bloody hell, my butler is soooo slow. Can someone PM me a stream?

fazzyfox Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Is there any word on Ndidi, obviously a few weeks behind the others but do you think he'll be considered / involved? If not I'm sure Choudhury will do a job, then it's a case of Soyuncu or Morgan at CB and who is in the wide positions between Barnes, Perez and Albrighton if 4-3-3.

The Bear Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Second half of the Europa game was like a training session. Jota, Doherty and Jimenez all off early. Flight took them 5 hours, so they'll be back home tomorrow morning to rest. Training on Sat then travel to Leicester Sunday morning. Shouldn't be too much disruption hopefully. I however reserve the right to blame any negative result completely on tonight's game Based on tonight, it'll be our usual strongest XI from last season that we play on Sunday. Patricio Bennett - Coady - Boly Doherty - Dendoncker - Neves - Jonny Moutinho Jimenez - Jota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 8 August 2019 Share Posted 8 August 2019 Tough game, they’re a good side. Should be a good game tbh and I’m looking forward to it. But as apparently you’re not allowed to predict anything other than a win nowadays on here I’m going for 5-0 City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
