A little over a year ago, Wolves beat a then unbeaten Manchester City side at Molineux, it was pretty much as against the odds as a victory for us this week would be. However the sands have shifted, rooted firmly to the bottom of the table, winless and on the back of a disastrous result at Brentford, Gary O'Neil finds himself under some real pressure to get results. That said, this is a bit of free hit for him, no one expects him to pull off the highly unlikely again, but no doubt comparisons will be drawn between the two results and performances no matter what happens on Sunday. A heavy defeat will increase the pressure and won't silence his most vocal critics.
Looking at the lineup from last year that grabbed that deserved win, two starters have departed to the bright lights of that London, Sa benched, Hwang injured according to reports out of Korea, and only Andre has added to the squad in any meaningful way. Progress?
Dilemmas and decisions to be made all over the place for GON, is Man City after an international break the game to be tinkering with formations? Does he have the players to play three at the back? Certainly something needs to change tactically, its not all down to poor zonal marking at set pieces. Which of Andre, Lemina or Gomes is sacrificed to accommodate Bueno?
And then does that stifle our attacking threat? 9 goals scored from 7 games isnt bad but with only one point to show for it is pretty unusual.
I'm hoping to see Gazza on Sky next Monday explaining again how he out strategised Guardiola again, but despite that hope my expectation is a convincing 1-3 for the visitors.

You're wasting your time Boris.knows everything and is never wrong. Keeps telling us he's gonna leave the forum, but he's still here with his garbage. Just waiting for the next insult from him.

I did wear a rain jacket on Sunday and as was forecast it was raining when I walked from the car park to the pub. Later in the afternoon I didn’t need the jacket so I could have missed the game and took the jacket home but decided not to

I travelled from West Wales on Sunday by car. I had brought a rain jacket with me. When I got there it was no longer raining so I decided to drive back home to leave my jacket there. When I got back to Wolverhampton it was raining again. By the time I had gone back and forth, at 120 miles a time, it was Tuesday.
How was the game?

Fortunately, I’m not made of sugar so my skin acts as a waterproof layer that stops my vital organs from getting wet.

Bruno Lage’s Benfica in champions league action tonight. And they’ll come up against Hugo Bueno who will get a taste of champions league football for Feyenoord. Hugo will be facing up against Angel De Maria. Got to be good experience for him

Goldie, I think you are right.
If it has sunk to this, I may as well go and cut my toenails.
