If James is starting, he won’t be leaving the club in the couple of days if he’s anywhere close to signing for a new clubJames
This fecking club need to stop doing this via numbers. It does my head in! More than seeing James on the team sheet!Good lineup. James is there to track Adama and get him out of the game, as much as I love Pogba on the left it was the sensible thing to do and it means we won't see Matic playing whilst McTominay is out.
Not sure how hard that was to figure out...First sub - James for Cavani.Why not switch Pogba with James and put VDB next to Fred, we must be the only team around happy to play with a hand tied behind our backs. So frustratin.Attack attack attackWolves play a back 3 so we are playing natural wingers.
Not that hard to understand is it?
They play in different positions so this is an odd comparison.Can we just stop with that fecking numbering layout already? Should I write them an angry letter?Holy 433, Batman?Genuinely think Ole sees James as our Park, except he lacks any footballing ability.
Runs about a bit, pretty much it.Glad to see Varane and Sancho starting and Mason up top but Pogba in midfield is a risk and there's no logic in James playing over Martial, Lingard, Van de Beek or Elanga.As much as I dislike James, who should start over him? Matic, Martial, Lingard, Elanga, or maybe Mata? We don't have many options when Cavani, Ronaldo, and Rashford are not fit/available.
James got the saucy nudes and he's not deleting themPace to track Adama makes sense. James is our defensive winger...
Because he isn't a central midfielder.
How James is poor? He simply is
Probably Pogba being in a double pivot with FredHappy with that lineup. Great to finally see both Sancho & Varane starting and also Cavani on the bench. Had a horrible feeling Ole was going to use the Fred-Matic double pivot again due to McTominay being unavailable but I’m glad he’s not. Would have liked to have seen Van De Beek start but can’t say I’m unsurprised that he isn’t.
It’s because if Pogba played LW it would mean Donny would have to play, and Ole clearly doesn’t wanna do that.I stupidly had Donny in instead of James...10/11. Go figure.FFS Ole.
What part of "a cardboard cutout of Ronaldo will offer more than Dan James" did you not understand?
Has to be. Bruno behind Greenwood and Sancho? James to track back. Bit concerning that we don’t have a proper CDM
Who the feck knows tbh, it's a mystery.
Bit of a shame that we have Ronaldo, Cavani and Rashford out with Martial in terrible form as well, so we end up playing James still.
Wow, that's an incredible stat. Add to how often these games against Wolves have tended to be tumescent 0-0 / 1-1 affairs, a win by any means necessary is all that matters today.Only 1 win in over two years with Pogba and Fred in a midfield 2

Is that true? And the club are choosing to not buy a DM.
How stupidJames starting makes sense. Good to see Varane and Sancho starting!
No.
Greenwood is in much better form than Martial he deserves to start up top and James will actually put in a shift against Traore, unlike Martial who will sulk out on the wing
Pogba of course and Donny in CM.
Relax. Cavani is obviously not fully fit and James fully deserves to start ahead of Martial at the moment.
Well looks like Pogba is moved into CM to play alongside Fred which is asking for trouble, very strange considering he’s done well out wide.
So Pogba moved after 5 assists and Dan James starting for Manchester United in 2021…Imagine seeing a line up where we're starting our exiting new signings Sancho and Varane for the first time, and dropping the double pivot for a more attacking midfield, and your only thought is to whinge about Dan James
Exciting line up, looking forward to this!
No.Let’s be honest, it’s James for Cavani away from our strongest line up (if we’re using Pogba in midfield).
Good grief.Only 1 win in over two years with Pogba and Fred in a midfield 2
This is gonna be a depressing international break.Bold team. This will be a tough game.Happy enough with that team. Nice to see Varane and Sancho starting.
Bit disapointed Pogba has been moved back to the pivot, given how well he's started but it was going to happen eventually.
Regarding Dan James, people will moan but he started the first game of the season and we won 5-1. Yes, he wasnt great but he provided the energy on and off the ball that we didnt have last week against So'ton.
When everyone is fit, I cant see him starting but for now, other than Rashford and Elanga, no one really stretches teams the way the aforementioned players do.
Hopefully we start quick and finish our chances today.
Read it a few months ago, may have been when they have completed 90 minutes together in a 2.Is that actually true? bloody hell.
The win was vs Fulham last season.- Status
