We'll win by your predicted margin if Christensen, Hudson-Odoi, Kovacic all starting...otherwise no.
Team is largely devoid is ingenuity, without the latter particular.

Unsurprisingly our best (flowing) football has been played when they've been in the team.

*without the latter two in particular

Have you seen us play lately? To be honest you could field your U23 side and still beat us 3-0

Both teams on the beach, so doubt it'll be an entertaining affair. Pretty much like a reverse fixture

Chelsea were out battled today. Nothing to do with a lack of ingenuity. They just weren’t up for the fight as much as Everton

Oh boy, you wait til wolfieinFL reads this

Unlikely we get a result but its a Wolves thing to do to suddenly shock us.

If we start with Hwank and Fabio then we may muster a shot around the hour mark.

Gem...

You've seen us play lately...right...

Surely that should be Hwank and Fobia.

I believe I was the first to call out Fobia as a total waste of money but there are some on here who insist that in 2/3 years time we could have a player worth about 2 mill.
If I am wrong then I will eat humble pie and declare I know nothing at all about football, for the rest of my life.

You also told us Jota was a waste of space, that we should sell him cause he would never make a goalscorer and that he would be a failure at Liverpool. Haven’t heard you admit to knowing nothing about football yet

This looks fun.

I remember Spangles mocking me for saying thay Toti Gomes likely wouldn't play after January and that Chiquinho was bought as a project player who wouldn't play much this season. Haven't heard him admitting to knowing nothing about football.

I’ve never claimed to know anything about football Tammy

Barcelona beat Mallorca last night and after the game there were evidently heated exchanges on the pitch between Traore and the coaching staff with Adama angry he wasn’t given any game time even from the bench.

Also reports that the Barca chairman had a meeting with Jorge Mendes on Thursday to discuss the futures of Traore, Trincao and other Barca assets. Been good to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting

Re-inforces my comment about Traore coming back to us for next season. I hope so.

Weren't you glad he went as he offers nothing

None of that is true. I did say that he was inconsistent and for us and was pleased that we got £40 mill for him, as were most of the posters on here.
I did not say that he would be a failure at Liverpool either.
Will you say t you were wrong if Fobia is a failure, probably not as you said he was worth a punt at 36 Mill.
Just keep making it up as you go along.

Be interesting to hear where people would jump if it was a choice between Traore coming back or Trincao staying.

For me, I'd just about go for Traore at the best we saw of him rather than that one game where Trincao decided to turn up.

Traore - possibly 3-4 goals, 5-6 assists per season.
Trincao - possibly 2-3 goals, 3-4 assists per season.

That said, if Traore returned he's not likely to want to play for us.

Perhaps get shot of both and get someone else.

I think Traore offers more than Trincao and is someone defenders would less like to play against. Personally I don’t think the bare stats tell the whole story with any player, they’re just a guide. I’d always judge a player over what they do for the team over 90 minutes. I still think there’s a chance Trincao will turn into a good player but I would question even in the long term, whether he is suited to the English league game.

Having said all that, I think both have probably burned their bridges with Wolves as far as next season is concerned

Isn't it fairly obvious Barca won't be taking Traore? Hardly a RAA moment.

Not sure i have ever understood the Jota argument. The deal was a no brainer for us at the time and the fee was impossible to turn down for a player that was remarkably inconsistent and found himself on the bench often. He has done well at Liverpool but given their way of playing you would have to be pretty shat not to.

Trincao would be decent in a team that presses high and controls possession in the opponents half. We aren't that team and even though we will struggle to move forwards until we progress to that sort of style, we don't really show much intent towards doing it.

He'll go on to be very good elsewhere.

Didn't say I was RAA with regard to Traore. I stated at the time that it was better for the club and him to move to Barcelona. I had my doubts as to whether he would be good enough and now he returns on June 30th along with all the other players out on loan.

He has 1 year left on his contract, so unless he finds a club, he'll be with us next season and in my book, wouldn't be the worst scenario.
