I think my query with Martinelli is he's had one great season and been pretty poor overall this season. There are many possible reasons that could be behind that but as a young player one of the answers might be he's not as good as we all thought and last year was a purple patch. We can't fully know yet but it would be a bad risk for your squad building to assume he's going to hit last season's numbers again. You need to build as if he may not so what does that mean for the team and where are goals come from.

Consistency is what ultimately defines the good players and shows you what their true level is. At the moment we can't be sure about that for Martinelli. That doesn't mean get rid but I think it's reasonable to make other plans to accommodate if he can't hit that level again.

Big Willie its funny because most of the guys people want to replace Martinelli with have done far less in their careers and Martinelli is just 22. If he was anywhere else everyone here would be crying out for us to sign him.

Positive article from Sky. Basically it's not over yet, even though we all feel like it is. We have to bounce back and put the pressure back on City.

I don't feel like it is.

Cunha is out for Wolves which is huge for us.

I do think tomorrow will literally determine /define our season.

Win, we are back on track and have the possibility of at least taking the title to the last day.

Lose, I won’t bother with any of our other games, that would be season over.

Our season literally on a knife edge tomorrow. Let’s hope we have one last swing left in us and then anything could happen.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 always one last, huge, season-defining stand. 😆 Not long since the league was over after Aston Villa.

The league is over but would you rather go out like a damp squib or take it to the last day? The narrative between the two is quite significant.

Basically the difference between another bottle job or a sign of improvement.

If we lose the title because we lost 6 points in 2024 (draw to city and loss to Villa) I could take that.

What I can’t take it loose to wolves, lose to Chelsea, lose to Spurs.

Let’s have some fucking pride and make City earn their title.

i hope i eat my words, but the season was done when he lost to fulham and west ham. the only way to recover that start to this season was to be perfect in 2024 and we got close but we gave ourselves too much work. you need room for a slip up here and there and we used up all of ours in 2023.

If that was the case then we should have gone for the win v City a few weeks ago.

SimplyThePest

Almost 20 years ago exactly, we were dumped out of the Champions League and FA Cup in quick succession and were 2-1 down at home to Liverpool at half time. That team dug deep, went on to win that match with some brilliant footy and go on to pull off an unbeaten league season.

Hopefully these boys can channel a bit of that spirit this weekend.

Problem is we have Kai Havertz and not Thierry Henry 😂 🙈 but get your sentiment.

Just looked and Wolves injury list is shocking:

no Neto
no Cunha
no Dawson
no Semedo
Hwang can only play 45 mins tops
Rayan N will only be on the bench

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Cunha and Neto are pretty much their only real threats and they’re not great going forward in the first place.

I think we win this comfortably. Feel free to bet your mortgage on it.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

We'll win.

Gazza M

imagine if we roll back to the heady days of 6 weeks ago and mash them like 5-0

Lukazan

So unsure what we'll get today. Would not be surprised at all if what a few of us fear happens and we put in another performance where we have plenty of the ball but our attacking play is off, uninspired and Wolves sucker punch us and end up with the win, putting an end to a realistic last chance at the league.... But at the same time I won't be surprised if we play brilliantly, score well and take a relatively easy 3 pts. Just don't know.

Martinelli to grab a goal today.

DiabyKungFu

If we had paid a bit more for Tomiyasu, I would say he's on his way towards being a transfer flop at this point.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

DiabyKungFu ridiculous isn't it?

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Sell fucking Tomi in the summer

Doc

Not inspired by that line up... Chelsea in a few days though.

awooga83

I mean it's odd we renewed him when these fitness issues were quite obvious. Echo those that are unsure today, it's going to rely on lot on how we as a team deal with these setbacks and does it inhibit us today or do we find a way to show a good account of ourselves.
