0-2, Vards & Nacho. That'll do nicely.

I heard this guy doesn’t lift weights? Just how much wanking is needed a day to get these results? asking for a friend

I would also like an answer to this, but in Braille if possible.

Wolves up their game against teams better than them.

 

Wolves 2-1 Leicester

I think Huddersfield did the double over them last season, which says a lot about raising their game against higher ranked teams. No doubt they'll be up for this. 

Just need to play our best, if not we will lose for sure.

Unless to Wolves.

Let’s hope we get at least a draw , lose this and we are in a bit of trouble with Man City afterwards.

a win would all but confirm top 4 imo but I’d take a draw right now.

Would also be great for Vardy to get on the score sheet and end his drought. Would love him to get golden boot but I fear he won’t on current form.

Hes also scored at every single away Premiership ground except ...that’s right Molineux.

Wolves 0-1 Leicester Vardy winner would be perfect 🤪

I like Mike Dean, I think he’s misunderstood as arrogant, he just has a big theatrical appetite for his job which I find pretty funny.

Could go either way, not a match to place a bet on.

Me too, but I bet it concerns him even more.

One of the best counter attacking sides, who play better away than at home.

 

If we go and commit men forward like we usually do, we'll get raped on the break.

 

By contrast, they are gash at breaking sides down. We should go there trying to play on the counter, 2 holding MF, put men behind the ball, frustrate them as they have no guile against a packed defence, and have Vardy pick them off.

 

We should but we won't as Brendan will stick to his principles. Not that I really have a problem with it, its good to have a positive coach.

Got to risk for reward. come on you foxes!!!!!!!!!!!

[NotTheMarketLeader]

A loss beckons.

 

They're a very good side, we can’t keep a clean sheet now, and as has been said by others our style will suit them perfectly.

😒

Yeah maybe but sometimes you have to be pragmatic, and a loss here means they gain 3 direct points on us in the race for 4th.

 

I normally like us to go for the win but away at Molineux (although they're probably better on the road anyway to be fair) - we should make sure we don't play straight into their hands. Nothing Nuno Espirito would like more than us to go and take the game to them, they're defensively solid to withstand it and are experts at picking teams off on the counter with pace and directness.

not brendan's style though … i suspect he would like to go 3 at the back to match up but he wont be looking for a draw …….

Torn on whether we should match them up and go 3-4-1-2 or stick to our usual formation of 4-1-4-1. The home game vs these was horrible but they make it difficult and I don't want them to easily do a number on us, so if that means we have to fight fire with fire for 60-70 mins then so be it.

Thanks Brendan, but please decide on your strategy before you give the team talk

Tough game.

0-0.

When was the last time we kept a clean sheet, they will score for sure. 

 

Hope I'm wrong though.

[Leicester_Loyal]

I'll take a draw here all day long. I feel like this will be a boring game (awaits the 3-3 draw).

[Guest An Sionnach]

Interesting comparison of touch line management styles , big man barking out orders ,small man scribbling in notebook . Definitely reminds me of Mad Martin does Nuno.

Reckon Fuchs will play in a back three so probably he will be covered.

[ARM1968]

Battered 3-0. FT meltdown. You know it.

i can see Brendan going that way to match them up.  whether he then plays an extra midfielder or nacho is the question

Which one of you all conquering moderators is deleting my completely inoffensive posts again? I’m actually making an effort to be less offensive. At least send me a message 😂
