Wolves boss Mick McCarthy vows to attack Manchester City
Friday 28th October 2011, 3:00PM BST.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy today vowed to attack a rampant Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
After rattling 45 goals in 15 games in all competitions this season – and 11 against champions Manchester United and Wolves this week alone – City are 12-1 to score six or more against McCarthy’s men tomorrow.
Astonishingly, Wolves are rated 18-1 against beating City, with punters receiving shorter odds at 16-1 for a 5-1 win for Roberto Mancini’s Premier League leaders by online bookies bet365.
But, while McCarthy admits Wolves occupy a different footballing planet to City, the Wolves boss has vowed to try to win the game, despite Wednesday’s 5-2 Carling Cup defeat to the same opponents.
He said: “We play in a different league to them and most of the teams do, but we will give it a go and you never know. I’m not going there to admire them – I want to take something off them and will do my level best to do it.”
