I follow Wolfsburg a bit, here's what I know of some of their players, I must add that I haven't watched them this season:

Benaglio - Good goalkeeper. Has been there for a long time.

Träsch - Don't know much about him. I thought Jung was better but Träsch is the one playing at the moment. Anyway, I don't think he's very good.
Naldo - One of the absolute best centre backs in Bundesliga. God knows why he doesn't play for his national team.
Dante - Is declining. Don't know any more about him than the average caftard I guess. Maybe Knoche will play?
Rodriguez - One of the best left backs in the world. Extremly good in defense and on the ball. Not the quickest but he's quality. Arguably their best player.

Caligiuri - Good player. Right footed, can play on both wings. Quick and good on the ball. Nothing extreme.
Luiz Gustavo - Reminds me of Makélélé. One of the best defensive midfielders in the world, especially when it comes to defending. As you can guess, he's very defensive. Has been brilliant for Brazil, especially in the world cup as some of you remember, but hasn't played for them recently due to Dunga being an idiot.
Draxler - Huge talent. Just turned 22 and has 15 caps for Germany. Very good on his day. Tall, very technical and two footed. Can play in any of the three positions behind the striker.
Schürrle - We all know him. Don't think he has been very good for Wolfsburg though.

Dost - Came out of "nowhere" last season and scored 16 goals in 17+4 games. 5 in 6+1 this season. 196cm/6ft5 is his height, and he's extremly lethal in the box.
Kruse - Don't know much about him. They bought him from Mönchengladbach in the summer. He can play as a striker, second striker or attacking midfielder. Two footed and good on the ball.

Wolfsburg is currently 4th, which is around where they belong, although I think they'll bypass Schalke and finish 3rd behind Dortmund and Bayern. They lost their main man in De Bruyne, but still have a very good team. We're definitely better than them though and I expect a nice win.

They have 2 players:

Dante: the worst CB I've ever seen

Dost: the most limited striker I've ever seen

I would have thought the starting 11 predicts itself for this. Difficult to predict the subs for the line up predictions game though. I think I'm just going to go for Jones and Fellaini, but part of me things Pereira might feature.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

Trying to read too much into these open sessions is a bad thing as it's all staged but looks like they all seem happy enough!
Memphis will be on the bench he's training with Fellaini, SHOCK!

Jones trying to injure a player at 0'30

Rooney looks very happy!

Is it confirmed that Herrera and Valencia are out for this one?

 

[LR7]

Is Jones ready for a start, I wonder?

 

[GloryHunter07]

Is this not on ITV?!

Sadly, ITV don't have any European football any more.

 

[Geordopolous]

That's a horrible time to be watching a midweek football match. Kudos for the commitment!

Welcome to the world of people who don't live in England! Australia doesn't have it much better

 

[GloryHunter07]

Sadly, ITV don't have any European football any more.

Feck sake - this country has gone to the dogs.

 

[El-Manos]

Make no mistake, this will be a tough game. We won't batter them 3-0 anyway, that's for sure . At least we won't have to worry about De Bruyne yet..

 

[Michael T]

We really do need a nice convincing win tonight.

It will make such a difference going into the next few domestic league games, let alone a much needed boost to our confidence in Europe after the first PSV result.

 

[Empire]

Why? Valencia and Herrera have a knock, they will face late fitness tests.

We really shouldn't have lost that PSV game. I was livid after it.

 

[Sied]

I was assuming neither would start if they even need a late fitness test. But if I'm alone in that assumption it'll make the prediction game more interesting.

 

[Gasolin]

Japan.
I lived in Manchester for 40 years.

Wow, cool to see a fan from Japan and glad you did not succumb to the temptation to support City while living in Manchester!

 

[Ole90+3]

I really didn't care. The Shaw injury had too much of an effect on me to even have an opinion about the match.

We need to win this though.

 

[OutlawGER]

I think this will not be a very tough game for United as you guys showed some good form recently while Wolfsburg is pretty much in shambles since Lewandowski destroyed them a week ago.

 

[Damien]

Is this not on ITV?!

BT have all the European games and show just one free per week (a year ago before BT, you could watch 1 CL game and 2 EL games free per week). When ITV had their pick of the games, they always showed an English team as long as there was one in the CL. Last week BT opted for Barcelona v Roma as the free one

 

[marukomu]

I was born in Manchester and moved over here when I was 40. I married a Japanese girl and have been here for 10 years.
Try saying my name fast. It's English.

What are they showing free this week?

Yeah they are only obligated to show each English team once or something like that, and have shown United already. No coincidence I'm sure that they got United game out the way as soon as possible on a relative dead rubber.

 

[ItsEssexRob]

Im going to lay wolfsburg no way will they win today or you lose two in a row.

 

[Sarni]

The game is done then, no need to watch it people. We've lost.

Complete bastards.

City

I found their free coverage of the United match really poor. Quality wise that is. Seemed to be even less than standard definition. Casting the app to the TV worked much better.

Why would you not play Martial, he's been our best player?

 

[ChaddyP]

I'm more worried about the predictions game than the actual game. . I feel quite confident with this side no matter who takes the field. Been a while since I genuinely felt like that. Think we will play well tonight

 

[Rooney in Paris]

Cup tied I believe

Edit - I was lied to, seems he is legible to play

feck you rob. Worse than Lucifer himself.

 

[sunama]

It's a home game.
Of course we'll win.

Is there anyone else who can make the squad? Bar any late fitness tests.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

4-0. Two for Smalling.

Then a dinosaur will come out of nowhere and eat the referee.

 

[Drifter]

2-1 Martial and Rooney.

 

[Sied]

ffs I came here to post this prediction

Yeah but you're probably thinking about a completely different dinosaur so it's okay.
