Mick McCarthy happy as Wolves midfield trio back
Wednesday 21st September 2011, 11:58AM BST.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy today insisted midfield trio Adlene Guedioura, Nenad Milijas and Dave Edwards are ready for the Premier League challenge at Liverpool this Saturday.
Guedioura turned in a man of the match performance in last night’s 5-0 Carling Cup rout of Millwall, scoring a beauty and making one for George Elokobi.
Milijas got an impressive 90 minutes under his belt while Edwards scored after three minutes on his comeback after eight-and-a-half months out with a back injury.
McCarthy is believed to be considering playing Kevin Doyle as a lone striker at Anfield which opens up a space for an extra midfielder and the three last night all staked a claim.
“It’s nice because we got Adlene, Dave and Nenad back out there and these players needed the game,” said McCarthy.
“Whether it’s for Saturday or not, I know these players are up to match speed and, if I need to call on them, I can. ”
McCarthy was hugely relieved and pleased at the response from his players after Saturday’s 3-0 debacle against QPR.
“It was a much-needed victory for all of us.
“I never thought we’d beat Millwall 5-0 because they’re a decent side. It was hard-working and professional, although we did work hard on Saturday.”

Its a no-brainer. Guedioura in for Henry. Every Wolves fan I know has been saying it.
Not saying Karl Henry has suddenly become a bad player, just that Guedioura is a better one and you have to keep improving.
I love Kevin Doyle, but if we signed Messi Doyle would be out. Simples.
I must stress that Guedioura is not a winger. Whenever he plays out wide he drifts in leaving a big gap and no outlet ball. This causes problems for the likes of Stearman and Berra who then get caught in posession or just pass back to the Keeper.
