Maybe swap Guilbert in for Elmo but either way, beats having to play with that fat b******* Trezeguet. Only put Elmo there as he’s currently available. dont think Trez is fat - if he is then I’m mr creosote... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Would be my team, if McGinn needs resting then maybe replace with Hourihane. Edited June 25, 2020 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) He's gonna have to own the fact he doesn't have a decent winger and go Grealish / Samatta / Davis up top. Couldn't care less if it isn't their ideal positions, it at least gives the opposition 3 players to think about because at least they have something about them. It gives us Nakamba, Luiz and either Hourihane in midfield (Mcginn is a million miles off the pace) which is a bit more solid and gives us a chance to play our set piece taker. All this coaching and tactical bollox but with a squad like ours the old Harry redknapp 'get your most effective players on the pitch' philosophy is needed.

I don’t think it would be out of the question to play Nakamba instead of McGinn against Wolves, he’s been so far off the pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 This is one game where I would actively encourage a conservative approach. 95% of Wolves attacking effectiveness comes through counter attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United and Liverpool probably will aswell. But you have to think two out and out strikers and Jack in a free role will give us far more chance of beating a Palace or West Ham in the run in then what we've been doing all season which has resulted in zero wins v top half teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Put Reina back in. Nyland has looked nervy again. Guilbert will make a difference going forward if fit. Hard game, expecting 0-2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 My side for this match would be: Nyland Guilbert (if fit, if not Elmohamady) Konsa Mings Targett McGinn Douglas Luiz Drinkwater El Ghazi Samatta Grealish Subs: ReIna, Taylor, Elmohamady, Nakamba, Hourihane, Jota, Davis, Baston, Hause 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one really bad game versus Leceister but it is quite possible he was probably feeling rough with Covid. Nyland is a good number 2 for the cup games but Reina is the classier keeper even at this stage of his career. Elmo needs to start, we need a few wise heads.

Exactly we are so high up the pitch trying to break teams down like Man City or Barcelona thing is we don’t have the players for that kind of football and we are way to slow moving the ball it’s easy and predictable to defend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBM Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I just cant see us getting anything here - even when we play well like at Newcastle we are always susceptible to a defensive mistake and are too wasteful in front of goal. Wolves aren't amazing but they are a well drilled team and with Jiminez and Traore they will have too much for us. 0-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasterpocket68 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I just cant see us scoring TBH Newcastle were a very poor team and we looked ordinary and uninspiring - Wolves will like to counter and i imagine we will set up as per Sheff U and Chelsea looking to defend for long periods of the game then trying to optimise our opportunities with free kicks corners. we need some extraordinary good luck from here on in . We need that win but cant see it ! Same old same old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that involve promising things will be a lot better, only for it to fall apart, and then blame poor people for not working hard enough?
