Play Adama Traore and Raul Jimenez for just sixty minutes

I know that Santo has a thin line-up and does not have a true “B Team” to throw out onto the pitch against Liverpool.

In their first match with the Reds, Wolves kept their most effective weapons on the bench in the form of Traore and Jimenez for the majority of the game which made sense given the fixture congestion at the time. However, they should start this match against the Reds to influence the flow from the start.

Wolverhampton should want to push forward from the start and by letting Jimenez and Traore know from the start that they need to pace themselves for 60 minutes versus 90 minutes.

This will allow them to utilize their pace, energy, and dynamic play at a higher work rate in a more targeted time frame.
