anyway, doesn’t matter.
If Kai starts as striker, probably Arteta will move him back to L8 when playing Jesus as subs in the 2nd half.
If Jesus starts at striker, Kai will start as L8; then second half may move Kai back as striker.
Gary O’Neill did really well to keep them out of the relegation fight last year after selling off some top players like Neves, Nunes, Collins, and Coady and now they’ve also sold Neto and Kilman without adding anybody of too much note this summer.
I wouldn’t be surprised if their luck runs out this season and they find themselves in a serious relegation battle.
I kind of hope Saka doesn’t start here. Impact sub role for this game.
Fearful that this will be the season he breaks down because he just hasn’t had a proper break in years.
We have enough between Jesus, Trossard, Havertz and Martinelli to beat Wolves.
Gary O Neill is a dangerous opposing manager though, very crafty. We’ll have to be at a high intensity and level to win this. It won’t be a breeze at all.
If we don’t win it will be Wolves getting a freak goal and the defending the rest of the game.
But we should win comfortably so I’ll go 2-0, with Odegaard and Gabriel to score.
