Good team. Really was expecting VDB though.
All eyes on Pogba and Bruno together.Martial dropped - finally. Good.
Pogba and Matic in midfield against Wolves - terrible selection. Bad.10/11 - i had Fred over MaticI worry a bit about Adama up against Telles..I like Telles in the team for a lot of matches, but I thought we would play Shaw tonight as the more experienced to deal with Adama.
Just hope Telles doesn't let him easily drop in behind as he did in many games so far.
Got the front 3(4) right, but a bit surprised we're playing Pogba over Fred and Scott, but maybe their midfield isn't as troublesome as I thought.Very attacking team! I hope that we really do go for it early and get the game killed off. Wolves have been an annoying opponent for us so I hope we can change that tonight. Looking for Cavani to show more of the promising form we've seen hints of.So basically the same lineup that got done 1-6 to Spurs but instead of Martial & Shaw it's Cavani & Telles
Loss incoming.
It's fine, you only need to match his pace to keep him quiet, Telles got that
I'd say this is a bit of a concern, Adama to finally be productive for the first time this season tonight perhaps
Pretty happy with that line up, certainly attacking. My only concern is the Matic/Pogba combo in the middle it’s a strange one, it either works great like we saw at the back end of last season or it’s absolutely terrible there’s no middle ground with those 2. Let’s hope it works well tonight.Extremely attacking lineup. Not a fan of Greenwood on the right, i want him to rotate with Cavani up top and leave the wings to Martial and Rashford with James to rotate for them when needed.
Get an early goal and it'll be a much easier game though. Might be very annoying otherwise.
Dont. Wolves will sit back and try to counter, there will be plenty of cover for himTelles is there for Cavani but I'm a bit worried with Traore vs him when Shaw has improved his attacking game of late when we dont even have Fred.
I think the idea is to get the goals early and bring Shaw on in the second half.
Maybe he’ll keep Adama occupied so he can’t attack?
We end up too deep when Fred and McT start. The Leeds game aside it’s usually a 90 minute bore with no creativity.
I’m a fan of Fred, he’s been on a great run for the just 12 months but I hate when he plays alongside McTLooking like Wolves have gone back to three at the back for this one?Do we really need Matic?Yes, strong team. Come on United, feck them upWolves have picked a team to sit and contain and play on the counter. They will be 532 off the ball. Are we any better at overcoming such tactics these days? Mmm...Some hilarious pessimism and ridiculous takes over the team selection today. Hope y’all stick around when we win.
when they show them based on position.Matic and Pogba were great last midweek against Everton which was arguably one of our best performances this season. This places just loves to moan.
Well knowing the journalist that wrote it down originally, this comment is spot on.
Rotation + Accounting for Wolves vs Villa setups and talent. We need those three on Friday.Wolves are going to sit so far back they'll still be doing defensive drills at Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground when the game kicks off.Happy with the team. A lot of people don't like the Pogba-Matic pivot but we actually have a higher win percentage with this duo than any other. Also, Wolves won't be intending to contest us much in the middle third so Pogba and Matic will be able to dictate the play better than any combo.
No matter what team we put out there will always be some ridiculous takes on here.Good bench, we have a good squad this season.Pogba and Matic as a two against Wolves midfield. Me thinks Ole has been using his men in black memory erasing device again.
Everyone does but they'll keep doing it.
Deep is good when you have our breakneck forwards. We play higher up the field when we don’t have the same trust in our defensive players and it hurts us because we don’t have the guile to break teams down like that.A bit worried with the pace of traore against telles and matic on our left! Hopefully he has an off day
Yes, this is a good take.
I am happy with the line up, although do worry about Telles in a physical match up if Adama peels to his flank.Worried about Telles against Traore.
Agreed, rotation is important but I still think those 3 not playing puts us in a far tougher position.
Didn't they play together against SU?I’m over the moon with this team.
It has a similarity to the team battered by Spurs but there are so many differences now. Cavani is ready to make an impact, Pogba isn’t a starter so is actually playing better. James is not playing, I’m worried Greenwood is out of form but if he’s on it he’s a massive improvement. Rashford is on form. Matic is fresh, Telles hasn’t played a few games and needs to make an impact and AWB will stifle their excellent young winger. I think we’ll smash them and make a proper statement tonight.
That’s a stupid theory.
Maybe he it’s just easing him in very, very gently.
I don’t see Ole having signings he didn’t want. And, would the club really spend £40m on a player like VdB if Ole didn’t want him.
A ‘galactico’ signing, i’d understand but not that level of signingBit concerned about Pogba and Matic in the midfield, just lacks a bit of and pace for me. But on the flip side, both good on the ball and should be able to keep possession better.- Status
