Not sure I would want Colwill brought back in for this.

Provided everyone who played today is ok for Saturday I think I would only like to see one change:

 

Sanchez 

 

James

Chalobah

Tosin

Cucurella

 

Caicedo

Lavia (KDH if not)

 

Madueke

Palmer

Neto 

 

Jackson

Has to be the same team but Sancho for Noni. 
 

Enzo a doubt and Lavia out indefinitely according to Maresca. Like I don’t know what more our sporting directors need to recall Santos. An injury to Caicedo so we have zero midfielders?

Neto is the winger to make way for me. 

I could make a case to start Jackson at LW. Get him out of the firing line and see what someone else (Felix) can do up top for a while. Take your pick from Madueke/Sancho at RW, but I'd probably keep Noni in there as City will have a lot of the ball and I think Jackson/Madueke will be a better combo on the break.

If he was anywhere other than Strasbourg they probably would have.

Need Santos and Lesely back, imo. 

It is very stupid, on our part, we are not recalling them.

I don't want to appear negative here, but sorry, based on that defensive performance tonight we are getting hammered on Saturday.   The holes in that defence were alarming and I lost count how many times our defenders were caught the wrong side or got rolled easily, only the poor Wolves finishing saved our arses from another draw or defeat.   Until we sort out the goalkeeping, finding defenders who can actually defend and finding a forward or two that can actually score, we are truly dreaming if we think a top four finish is a reality....the score line tonight flattered to deceive...

Facing a City side rising from the ashes, is not going to end well I'm afraid unless our stubborn Manager wakes up and starts making some decisive changes instead of selecting the same players who continually put in poor performances.   

This will be tough as City have rediscovered some form. That said they are away to PSG in CL Wednesday so hopefully that will effect them and maybe their players get one or two niggles.

I hope we have a real go at them, rather than sit back and pay them too much respect (worrying that Maresca is a huge admirer and probably tries to model himself on Pep).

Can't see us keeping a clean sheet, which means we need goals and with Jackson on a drought (but no doubt will still play 90+ minutes), that means we need Palmer, Sancho and Madueke to carry goal threat. 

You never know..............

Not sure we'll be winning this one unfortunately.

We need our attackers to start putting their chances away. Nicolas Jackson I'm looking at you. Time to step up.

Bah none of those defences have had Reece James in them.

If he 'steps up'...he might fall over....he's that good.

Lavia will probably be back for a couple of games in March and then gone until next season.
