Really happy with the number of games coming up for Utd. At some point they will need to beat teams without Fernandes and Rashford (exhaustion) and rely on Fred and Martial. :lol: Two must win cup games coming up for them soon.

Also how terribly overhyped is Traore? Every time I watch him I think he's rubbish and offers little. There was a time when people were saying Wolves wanted a massive fee for him.

I hate the phrase "found out", but he definitely has been to quite a high extent.

Fred and Martial and Cavani are all good enough to beat Watford :lol:

Do you trust us to do the job against Newcastle and Southampton? I don't think I do at the moment.
This Utd win may be the rocket Jurgen and Henderson need to file up our players. We usually do shit first game then win the next two by many, many goals. I'm hoping we follow the same trend. Newcastle and Southampton, like Wolves, will be tired too whereas Thiago will just be coming in fresh.

We actually missed Fred's industry and consistency tonight, ditto Mctominay.

Pogba and Matic never play well together.

Fred has been our best midfielder this season and you make it sound like Martial isn't capable of going on a run of being one of the best players in the League. Two players I'm plenty happy to rely on. I'd be more worried if we had to rely on Pogba to be honest. Maybe DVB ends up being a very adequate replacement for Bruno for a few games. Oh and Greenwood hasn't got going so far this season but with his talent you'd expect he will. If Bailly stays fit then that's another very talented option, not to mention Tuanzebe.

Meanwhile you drew at home to a championship team that just got beaten 5-0 by another championship team. Basically bring it on!

Wolves were always going to struggle having to play 48 hours after a game against Spurs but that's such a lucky goal.
They didn't struggle at all.
They put in their usual strong performance against us and it's good to see they haven't succeeded in taking points off us for once and then fall down open to you.

Hang on. A Liverpool fan talking about flukes and stuff going your way after the last 2 seasons!? :lol:
I have no memory of those events. None whatsoever.

Guess we'll see you at the finish line in 2023 when this season finishes.

It's one of those redcafe myths.

Matic is ridiculous. He's almost 100 and still plays at a fairly high level.

Yeah for sure. He hasn't scored a league goal in almost a year I think.

First time in a long time where a game between us will have a huge implication at the top of the table. SAF ended Arsenal's unbeaten run, lets see if Ole is up to the task of ending yours at home. That game is going to be electric regardless of fans.

But we thrashed Leicester 3-0. You need to beat teams like Leicester. We have beaten Wolves too by the way.

I would love to see a front line of Martial, Cavani and Greenwood with Fred and McT behind them in a league game.

I think he’s shite. I think he was shite when everyone was creaming themselves over him last year too. Had a few funny replies when I said as much.

I don't like that other player they brought on either. The one with the curly hair. Looks like someone who doesn't like it when his kit gets dirty.

He hasn’t scored a league goal in 11/5 months

He doesn't even need to use that vat of vaseline to grease up now as players know where to stand and usher him.

So far he is right up there for the Ali Daei awards. Absolutely dreadful 'player'. Much, much worse than the absolute crap Traore.

You beat a Brenadan "bend over for my former employers" Leicester. I may be mistaken but haven't we just beaten Wolves? Maybe you'll get to see it at Anfie;d and end up hating it. For what its worth Fred and McTominay, for all their faults, are our best midfield. You should be used to the importance of a workman like midfield being the best option to unlock the real threats in a team, you won the League that way last season. Also Rashford was shite today as he has been for much of the season.

Rashford is your only finisher (side from Bruno and occasionally Cavani but he's 65). Fred and McT with no Bruno = no goals in the league.
