The upcoming game against Manchester City is on the horizon as the international break nears its end for Wolves fans.
Gary O’Neil has been contemplating the team’s position at the bottom of the Premier League during the break, especially after a tough defeat against Brentford that led to backlash from fans.
Despite the difficult start, the Wolves board is standing by O’Neil with hopes that he can turn things around at Molineux.
However, the challenge doesn’t get any easier with Manchester City up next for Wolves.
O’Neil may face a familiar problem as several key players, including Brazilian midfielders Joao Gomes and Andre, as well as captain Mario Lemina and defender Santiago Bueno, are still on international duty.
The return of these players may be delayed due to their late fixtures, impacting their readiness for the upcoming game against Manchester City.
With potential fatigue among the returning players, O’Neil’s team selection will be crucial. Fans are calling for a change in formation, possibly to a back three, in response to defensive vulnerabilities.
Tommy Doyle, a player eager for more game time, could see a start against his former club City, given the circumstances surrounding the international players.
It will be interesting to see how O’Neil navigates these challenges and if Wolves can bounce back against a tough opponent like Manchester City.
