Of course McTominay would have been better, but it's worrying we need two defensive midfielders to compete against midtable opposition.
It's not about needing a CDM, it's about pulling a system that works with just one. Just as most top teams do.

It's not about needing a CDM, it's about pulling a system that works with just one. Just as most top teams do.Thought Varane looked superb. A clear upgrade!Thank you DDG. 3pts , Greenwood again. Let's hope that this game is some teething problems , otherwise look out. Poor performance but 3pts. Take itSo much to say in the post match thread, but we’ll wrap things up here by praising the MOTM performance by De Gea.
Incredible.Would love Neves in our team. Class act all game apart from acting like a fanny before our goal.Someone should do a montage of every Dan James touch, because its a horror show. Three out of every four touches, something went wrong.
Flat Ronny does not look amused.Absolutely love the fact that the goal came from that alleged foul. Absolutely detest wolves. We played badly and yet won, sweet victory.Brilliant result.
Had to make sure we got the win.
Without Varane we concede in that game. What a cleaning up act. Nothing got past him except that header which DeGod saved.
Earned his wage there De Gea
I don’t know how you did it (thought you wasted all of your mojo yesterday) but well done, Sir!Fecking hell, I can breath again.
De Gea just edges it for MOtM
No I didn't, being from Wolverhampton I do have a lot of time for them though.
Was simply commenting that we were pretty much second best for 90 minutes.
Happily take the win, perhaps last season we don't go away with the points. We can point to progress in that respect but performances worry me as we can't control the midfield against seemingly anyone
He is like a Rolls Royce.Highway robberyShows what an hole we have in midfield. If Wanderers had have had a striker we would have been 2-3 down at half time.
Still a wins a win and titles have been won with poor wins. Didnt think much of Sancho, and James shouldnt be picked ever again.
Hopefully Ronaldo will still be able to make goals out of nothing.
Damn sonEnjoy the ups and the downs!
Football is 90 minutes not 45Varane with a classy performance and deserves the mom this week. He is an amazing CB and we are lucky to have him. David De Gea and Mason Greenwood the other positives. The rest of the team have to do a lot better. We need to see better team performances going forward.
Agree to disagree. But you are right in that he looks class!Ehhhh wasnt a foul. Bruno also went down last week, and they still gave the goal.
Not a deserved win, but we played some good football in the second half.
Varane was class. Sancho underwhelming. I kinda thought this might happen though.Bad first. Better second. Win all that matters today!
DeGea and Varane brilliant
That’s a serious test as well for his debut and he’s come through it with flying colours. Pace, composure and aerial presence, very impressive!
I won't lie it was playing on my mind all game! But phew, it was touch and go there! But man, we got there in the end!
Completely agree with you. I’ve posted this before but I saw an interview years ago (I think it was Chichrito) saying SAF said the attacking philosophy was back to front in 90 secs max.It shows how vulnerable we are if teams go for us.Today we got lucky.
…..and I still can’t put a decent acca together
except for the shrinkage.De Gea
How have you interpreted the phrase "he will be in time"? Thought it was pretty straight forward.feck off Tim Sherwood for me it's a foul, he didn't even get near him.
Which part of that is wrong? Is he a player that has adjusted to the premier league in your opinion?
You definitely misread my post. I was criticising the usual hasty judgements of a player after one game. Sancho is a class player and will prove it in time. One game doesn’t change that. That was literally what I said. Nothing you have countered my post with factored in my post at all.
One game… it’s one game.
So did you not read the part of my post that said "he will be in time"?Ince is doing my head in on this Pogba challenge, he’s been active of fan channels and I think he wants to be controversial or something
He didn’t do that either, had one job and teaore murdered us in the first half
lucky he has zero end productGreame Souness saying on Sky Sports:
Sky Sports' Graeme Souness:
"It is a foul. Pogba doesn't make any contact with the ball whatsoever. He made contact with the shin and the shinguard.
"How is it not a foul? That's a leg-breaker.
"The referee is not blind-sided by anything, he's two metres away from it. Whether Neves goes down immediately or doesn't go down, that is immaterial. That is a leg-breaker. Look how close he is.
"That referee has deemed that not to be a foul. That's impossible for anyone who knows anything about football to say that's not a foul. He's two yards away."
A leg breaker?? This is Graeme 'leg breaker' Souness saying this. I'm lost for words. Let your Pogba hatred go man. It's embarassing at this stage.
I felt for sancho, he should of started at home against Leeds and he could of been bedded in, this was his first start. I expect him to kick on from here
My whole post is explaining why not performing today does not mean he is not a prem level player. You clearly didn't understand the point I made. The "will be in time" is a just a continuation of a statmement I don't agree with.- Status
