He has said his best position is as the link between midfield and attack, so let's not mess about and just play him there. Luka, McArthur, McCarthy and Kouyate can then fight it out for the holding midfield roles. Schlupp or Townsend on the left, Zaha on the right. Ayew up top and Bentenke serving the puddings in the canteen. Think you might be asking too much from Benteke

We will certainly need a change of tactic or we'll lose. I saw us play Wolves at home last year and for all the excitement about what a side they were, they were remarkably negative - they knew exactly how to win at Selhurst. Given that they've just shipped 5 against Chelsea, I'm sure defensive solidity is what they'll be working on. Classic Selhurst 0-1 loss incoming unless we play differently. Wolves style of football is not very different to ours. They are defensive first with every man behind the ball then hit on the break. This is the reason they do well against the top teams a bit like ourselves.The big difference with them and us is they have decent strikers. Matt Doherty is a massive player in the way they play and he has been injured since the start of the season but it looks like he will be back against us which is a negative. I said to a mate at the start of the year that they will be found out this year and relegated. Edited by EddieMac (16 Sep 2019 11.48am)

Last season at ‘Selhurst Park’ Wolves we’re very negative and didn't deserve their 1-0 victory, They conceded 5 at home to Chelsea in their last game so will be hell-bent on keeping a clean sheet. One expects more negativity from them and of course we don’t have the creativity to break down teams. Could be another 1-0 win for Wolves. In terms of comparison of systems, Wolves were promoted using three at the back and two wing-backs and have continued in this vein, we of course play with a back four.

Edited by Willo (16 Sep 2019 11.53am) Yes they were a bit negative but totally disagree they didn't deserve there win. Thought they were a rock solid unit and the second half especially were far better than us... They haven't won yet this season which means they're nailed on to beat us!!
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

I agree, but Hodgson is not one for change unless it’s forced on him through injury. Meyer, Riedewald and Sorloth have been toilet. Not a question of trust.

100% agree he has got to start. RH needs to change up the tactics. He will certainly give a different shape to the midfield.

Why did we buy two more central midfielders?! That's 6 we've got now but no winger cover and only two fit strikers
