Is it though? We've got Varane in with Maguire now. Not every team in the world plays with two 6s.
Possibly but haven’t seen anything from Ole suggesting that would be the case. He loves a 4231 does Ole.I can guarantee you Wolves won't fail to score this week.
We should have enough to win mind but I will still stick with my pre team score draw prediction after seeing the lineup/formation.
Hopefully this is Dan James last game for us although in reality it surley won't be.
It appears to be a norm these days to quickly ridicule others to support your own debatable point. There are valid concerns that Pogba shouldn't be starting in a double pivot, and should be higher up the pitch, for example, on the left-wingPogba deep again after bagging 5 assits in 2 games
Hopefully Varane + Maguire allows us to get away with a more offensive 4-3-3.
We've haven't started with Varane yet..
I‘ll give my opinion whenever I want, people are saying he’s picked for defensive abilities, I’m disagreeing and saying he has none. Live with it.
already said he has his uses, don’t agree that’s one of them.
But with one proper 6, which Fred isn't, in my book.
For all the hype about him, how many games has. Adama had where he’s looked that dominant? Don’t get me wrong, he’s quite intimidating when he’s on song but he’s far better on the counter. Our midfield needs to work hard to stop the space behind
Oh come on. It will be 4231 as always.VdB can't get a game, if he's not used at least as a sub today I think there be no use for him in the whole season besides low tier cups.
This. I can see where people moaning about Pogba being moved from "LW" to CM are coming from. But sooner rather than later he has to play CM. When Rashford, Ronaldo, Sancho, Cavani, Greenwood etc. are all available we can't accommodate him at LW anymore. So he might as well start proving himself in midfield like he does for France.He can assist from deep as well
Pogba deep again after bagging 5 assits in 2 games
Matic is awful. Mctominay is injured. We're thin at CM.Hope we get a good win today. Rashford and McT are important players for us though.
True. Tbh if he goes with Bruno and Pogba pushing forward I’d be pretty happy.
I very much hope it's not just that.Why the feck is Ronaldo not starting, let alone not even on the bench!
Am I doing it right?If Pogba sees Varane at the back maybe he'll think he's playing for France and actually does well in a midfield 2.
Runs in behind and stretches defences with his width - something we massively lacked last week - which creates space for the playmakers. He’s also very good at pressing. It’s amazing how people don’t understand football is every bit about off the ball than on it. It’s why Ole loves Elanga who would be playing had he not got injured. But yeah - you keep ranting.I dont think there is anyone on here that wouldnt be over the moon if James went and scored a hattrick, or set up a couple of goals, but we can only judge players on what we have seen in the past, and james is shit. Not as shit as Martial doesnt mean he's good.
People can act all superfan they want, but even this early in the season we simply have to be winning these kind of games.Our CM is more open because Pogba is in there. James is clearly in for his high defensive work rate. Toxic as feck this place. Unreal negativity.How the feck is James getting his nose in these daysIf we stop points today don't just scapegoat Pogba.
Remember we dropped points with a so called "normal" Midfield
James works hard defensively and will offer support to Pogba in the middle.
I mean it less open than last week
I understand football very well thanks, unfortunately I just don’t see it with James like a lot of you do.
I hope it works today but I don’t think it’s the way forward for us.Love Fred, but for me we just need a world class midfielder that can offer something defensively rather than a CDM. Simply, there isn't a CDM out there that's available or the price isn't inflated. Before anyone says it, I don't think that's Donny either....
You wouldn't think Varane and Sancho are making their first starts for the club today.
Please stop, stop, stop
You killing me with laughter! Stop being so nominatively determined!An absolute team if you replace James and Fred.
Which rarely happens
can't be....surely not...he's not that stupid after Pogs 4 assists as a "free" player to play him as a holding midfielder as it stifles all his skills...but no matter how I think it will work as a 433, I can't see it other than a 4231 with pogba alongside Fred.
But damn we are short on central midfielders and Ole obviously doesn't trust Matic after his last performance, despite his praise of him post matchI'm actually kinda glad we're trying things out. Matic and Fred was really bad last week. Can still try Donny in the 2nd half.
No one here thinks James is brilliant mate. Understanding why he's starting doesn't equal thinking he's anything special.Fred the Red has a better chance of starting than DonnyI probably should feel bad but I honestly couldn't give less of a feck about Donny not playing. Anyone else?
Of course it will be. You didn't buy all that talk of 433 did you?
Exactly. People just want the biggest names or their flavour of the month on the pitch. In the real world managers have to balance the strengths and weaknesses of their players.Quite a few of our players blow hot and cold so hard to say anything with confidence going into a match, but I'll call it now.
Dan James will offer nothing today! Entirely pointless waste of space on the team. I'd rather stick Dalot in any position that James was in even if out of position.
Agree. I understand he’s limited but his defensive work rate Ole relies on in certain games.
We need it due to the fact we don’t have a very solid midfield, address that first before talking about getting rid of players who actually put a shift in and help in certain situations.- Status
