Wolves vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[VillaTim]

Zaniolo must start, this is his type of game . He's going to become a big player for us and a cult hero , I can sense it

[Olof's Beard]

We struggle against big, physical teams like Wolves and West Ham, particularly in midfield. Wolves are industrious but nothing more but will make it a tough game and in Neto and Hwang they have a couple of inform forwards. I'm sure Unai will have been pondering how to hurt them since we went down 1-0 at the doghouse towards the end of last season with an insipid display. Let's hope he's worked them out.

I'll be optimistic and go 0-1.

I’m thinking we might start with 3 Centre backs and no Zaniolo. Extra cover to defend there main threat which will be down our left so that we don’t get caught out if the full backs get forward

They’ve had Traore for years who had pace, but no brain and now Neto has come back to full fitness and has bags of pace and a brain. He’s going to be the threat I think, especially without Mings and Moreno. Digne and Torres will have their hands full with him.

They have some good players and as they showed last week they’re well capable of beating good sides.

Thought Carlos looked a bit rusty midweek, maybe understandably. If Kamara is out, I think we will have to do something like that with Tielemans next to Luiz and a front three of McGinn, Watkins and Diaby.

They have some exceptional players but they don't always play as a team. Hopefully Emery has a plan as in terms of managers we are light years ahead of them

Baileys CV at the Wolves is not good. We need someone with a bit about em tomorrow.

At least he didn't puke his ring up there like Trezeguet circa 2018.

[Brend'Watkins]

I know why Diaby and Kamara will start tomorrow. They weren’t injured in the first place. Diaby’s pull/strain/paper cut was more believable than Kamara’s non existent knock/contact with a Brighton player once the game was won. Had we been playing a CL game that would have been a different matter. I kind of don’t blame them but they do fall down in my estimation compared to say, Dougie.

Huh? Based on what?

What on earth are you basing that on? Why would either of them feign injury and want to come off in a game like that? I was quite close to the Kamara incident, and as soon as he did it he signalled to the bench that something wasn't right. He tried to run it off but then did the spinning fingers signal that he needed to be subbed.

I think we will win . It's time we won there.

[Allan C]

I’m feeling really confident about this one, 3-0 to us. Don’t care who scores them

[PaulTheVillan]

All white kit today. Sexy

Kamara brings the best out of Luiz, and Diaby brings the best out of Watkins.

They both should, and I expect will start.
