Holymoly Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 If he goes with his gut Frank will send us out as a 4-3-3 but if things really are that bad back at Cobham then his head may convince him to stay with a 3-5-2 for Wolves although god knows who will start in attack in that case. Aubameyang and Sterling maybe? Do you know what though? I hope he sticks two fingers up at the doubters and go: Arrizabalaga Fofana - Koulibaly - Badiashile James - Kante - Fernandez - Cahill Mount Aubameyang - Sterling This looks a whole lot stronger once Silva returns from injury and assuming Kante doesn't pull another sickie. On paper, at the beginning of the season, before everything went to hell in a hand cart this is the sort of lineup that would have been expected to be challenging for the title. As it is the best laid plans failed first contact with the enemy. So glad this is on at a proper time, 3pm Saturday, Will be glued to the 5th Stand. Fingers crossed.

My Blood Is Blue Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Things have got bad if we’re bringing Cahill back as well and playing him left wing back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago97 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Kepa or Mendy could be an interesting one today! No doubting Frank lost faith with Kepa, but will he want to really want to make an obvious big call straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Kante must be being saved for Madrid, which does make sense. Chilwell potentially the same as well, but that selection does surprise me. Aubameyang back in the bench also an interesting one, I wonder if he’ll get on. I am surprised by the number of changes, including formation, given how little time he’s had with the players… but if it comes off and we get a result, he’ll instantly get the players on side. Being over in Seattle at the moment, I’ll actually get to watch the 3pm kick off live on tv for a nice change… or at least I hope is a nice change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
