Match Thread Wolves v Leicester

[Jeff]

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Ward, Amartey, Daley-Campbell, Fuchs, Thomas, Mendy, Albrighton, Ünder, Vardy.

 

[camberwell fox]

Yep, agree with that.

only bring Vardy on if absolutely necessary or if we need to give him some game time to regain full fitness. With only two weeks out though I can’t see him needing much, if any “sharpening up” time.

 

[M17TT C]

Can't really argue with that after winning in the week.

Be nice to see a goal or assist from Perez today and a win for us of course!

Don't have 1 good memory of watching a game at Molineux but thankfully I'm not there today!

 

[mabrah]

Pretty much as expected. My one area of maybe/perhaps was over bombscare v Mendy. Hamza is more suited to in many respects (esp. against more physical sides like Wolves) but he can be rash. Mendy is a more stable known quantity.

 

[Brown Nose]

Choudhury did okay against Fulham but I don't trust him against that Wolves midfield.

 

[Graz]

I thought Mendy would come in for Hamza for this one but otherwise what I expected really.

Hopefully Nacho and Hamza can follow up their good performances the other day and repay the manager for keeping faith with them today. Perez too...

Not confident though, this is a tough game.

 

[Graz]

Choudhury did okay against Fulham but I don't trust him against that Wolves midfield.

Same that's where I think Mendy was needed.

Hamza made sense against Fulham because we needed to beef up. Mendy is a better defensive mid and that's needed against Wolves more technical midfield today I think

 

[popillius]

Choudhury did okay against Fulham but I don't trust him against that Wolves midfield.

Totally agree. He was okay. That's where it stops. Still, I'm not sure I trust Mendy either on his last few performances to be honest.

 

[Lako42]

Wolves should. E too smart for Hamza but he deserves to keep his place if you only go on his last performance

 

[pork pie fox]

Yeah I don’t think you could argue against that selection greatly.

 

[Brown Nose]

I also think Perez is very lucky to be playing. Two PL goals in over a year now (both against Sheff Utd). He owes his manager a performance.

 

[mabrah]

So we reckon Rodgers has decided to trust Hamza to put in a disciplined performance? Credit to him if so.

Hamza managed to curb, for the most part, his animal instincts against Fulham (though I remember one 'challenge' outside the box that was, fortunately, so mistimed as to miss its mark completely) so he is capable of doing it but one can never be sure. He's some way to go as a pro.

[mabrah]

Far be it from me to praise M. Peters but credit where it's due, that made me chuckle.

 

[fox58]

Hamza will have fond memories of the game at Molineux last season

 

[FOX Franks]

Sky have just referred to this game as THE midlands derby. That’s a bit of a stretch isn’t it?!

 

[parafox]

I also think Perez is very lucky to be playing. Two PL goals in over a year now (both against Sheff Utd). He owes his manager a performance.

He could easily drop him for Albrighton and I wouldn't complain. I suppose Perez and Iheanacho will be more effective playing together against Wolves' bus rather than Albrighton running straight into it all match.

 

[homer]

Surprised we haven’t brought Albrighton and Mandy in - this is a much more dangerous team than Fulham

 

[FOX Franks]

Title win quite literally the first sentence today. That’s some achievement
