Haaland on the bench for City

Let’s hope they need him!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Groin strain according to PTS.

Probably from his celebration against Leicester..

 

[MobNet Wolf]

Vitor on Munetsi: “of course technically he is not a high level player”

 

[Del Woppio]

Credit to Kelly for dragging them pair away from beer and onto the connection it builds with the fans

 

[Banjo]

Vitor on Munetsi: “of course technically he is not a high level player”

Haha wow did he really say that?!

 

[Dire Wolf]

Haha wow did he really say that?!

Yup. But he also said he's a fantastic player.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Nunes getting a lot of hugs from the Wolves players.

 

[catfishwolf]

Lots of empty seats, looks half-full behind the goal and patchy elsewhere.

 

[Squeak]

Cunha trying to score from a corner again,..

 

[The Bear]

I'm liking our high press so far. Seems to be unsettling their back line a bit.

 

[The Bear]

Cunha trying to score from a corner again,..

Has he ever stopped?!!

 

[t3ch]

This nooñez guy keeps getting booed

 

[Alan]

Has he ever stopped?!!

Put some respect on the Olympico

 

[Squeak]

I'm liking the long ball from Sa...two excellent kicks out to put us on the attack so far. Good to see this improvement from him.

 

[Squeak]

Wow...brilliant Bellegarde....

 

[Wilf Wolf]

City can’t foul us quick enough in our half. Refs always let them get away with a plethora of niggly fouls designed to stop any flow.

 

[Jinky]

We’ve not offered much going forward yet, but important to keep them quiet which I feel we’ve done.

We are very comfortable on the ball which is great to see.

 

[The Bear]

We look more than a match for them so far. The only area we fall shirt compared to the top teams is that link between midfield and the front players. We have Munetsi and Bellegarde, they have De Bruyne and Marmoush.

 

[The Bear]

Fucking hell.

I mean, fucking hell!

 

[t3ch]

Oh my GOD HOW
