Match Thread Wolves v Everton, Sat 11/8/18 17:30

I agree that Gomes or Mina will not be anywhere near the starting XI yet; if Zouma signs however then he may play. Digne should start you'd presume?

So I would swap out Baines for Digne and hopefully (big hope) that Keane is replaced by Zouma. Still a shaky central midfield but overall I am quite optimistic!

No chance chucking a cb in without training or even meeting his team mates, be suicide imo

Playing Keane and Jagielka is the best definition of suicide.

So, are we winning 6 or 7 - nil then?

Mate, your Wolves, not Real Madrid.

Whether you win or not, trust me we won't be going their with any fear or worry about facing you at the wrong time

Wolves are decent but as you say they have somehow convinced the media that they are some elite side - Bloody Dwight Gayle looks good in the fizzy pop league.

I do think it'll be 2-2 or 3-2 to them only because Keane and Jags are THAT bad and it being a late home game with their fans up for it.

I would say its also vital we get atleast a point Saturday- if we lose it basically will be picked up by the RS loving media as

"Everton beaten by top 7 favourites" and straight away heads will drop a little - we need to go in that game and actually be a little anti Silva- keep it tight, let the crowd die down after the first 25 mins and try use our experience to get the win.

I would snatch your hands off for a draw only because Jags and Keane are a shambles.

I would go for:

Pickford

Coleman Keane Jagielka Digne

Gana Schnerderlin

Walcott Siggurdsson Richarlison

Tosun

Niasse on after 70 mins.

Yeah, but to us?

Of course.

Mate they might win, they might not win. BUT.....We've been in this league for years and years and years and seen newly promoted teams come up, belted them everywhere and piped them down and watch them get relegated

AND STILL i wouldn't sign up to a rival forum saying "unlucky for you that you are facing us at the wrong time" as if we are Madrid.

They are definitely deluded, convinced that they are the new Man City yet then go sign over the hill players, unknown risks and Adama Traore.

They wont go down but they are in for a shock this season - would love us to do them Ashley Young 3-2 at GP style in the 90th minute lol

Bring em on! We'll smash these upstart pretenders!

 

[Azza]

Pickford

Coleman - Keane - Zouma - Digne

Gueye - Sigurdsson

Walcott - Bernard - Richarlison

Tosun

 

[ToffeeDan]

Since we can't defend (until Yerri and Kurt are available) and Mason Holgate is unfit... why bother...

Pickford
Coleman - Keane - Baines
Gana - Davies
Theo - Siggi - Bernard
Cenk - Richo

 

[jinkyali]

Can.
Not.
Wait.

 

[Thomasc]

Expect to see Bernard play some part.

Basically though the same central defenders as it is all we have available. Bit disappointed we are going into the first game with the same central midfield too.

Lots of positives going forward, but cautious about this opening game.
